How to validate input fields inside a modal popup using ParsleyJS?
I have already an error container in layout page which works for page level input fields. I want to validate input fields in a modal popup and the error message should also be displayed in the popup.
To display validation errors inside a specific the Modal, you will need to use this data attribute on the input elements:
data-parsley-errors-container="#modal_div_error_container"
This is how you can validate the input fields inside your Modal <div>
JS:
$(function(){
var parsley_valiation_options = {
//errorsWrapper: '',
errorTemplate: '<span class="error-msg"></span>',
errorClass: 'error',
}
//check if modal_div element exists on the page
if ($('#modal_div').length > 0) {
//Attach Parsley validation to the modal input elements
$('#modal_div input').parsley(parsley_valiation_options);
//On modal submit button click, validate all the input fields
$('#modal_div_submit_button').click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var isValid = true;
$('#modal_div input').each(function(){
if($(this).parsley().validate() !== true)
isValid = false;
})
if(isValid) {
alert("All fields are validated !");
}
});
}
});
HTML:
<!-- Modal -->
<div id="modal_div">
<!-- Modal div error container (Validation error messages will display here)-->
<div id="modal_div_error_container"></div>
<label for="name">
Name (should be alphanumeric and min length: 7)
</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" data-parsley-minlength="7" data-parsley-minlength-message="Name must be at least 7 characters" data-parsley-required="true" data-parsley-errors-container="#modal_div_error_container"/>
<button type="submit" id="modal_div_submit_button">Submit</button>
</div>
You need to use button type as a "submit" instead of "button". Then that might solve your issue.
