@precision-nutrition/vee-validate

vee-validate is a template-based validation framework for Vue.js that allows you to validate input fields and display errors.

Being template-based you only need to specify for each input what kind of validators should be used when the value changes. The errors will be automatically generated with 40+ locales supported. Many rules are available out of the box.

This plugin is inspired by PHP Framework Laravel's validation.

Installation

yarn

yarn add vee-validate

npm

npm i vee-validate --save

CDN

vee-validate is also available on these cdns:

• jsdelivr cdn
• unpkg

Getting Started

In your script entry point:

import Vue from 'vue';
import VeeValidate from 'vee-validate';

Vue.use(VeeValidate);

Now you are all setup to use the plugin.

Usage

There are two ways to use vee-validate, Using v-validate directive or using Validation* components.

Using directive

Just apply the v-validate directive on your input and pass a string value which is a list of validations separated by a pipe. For example, we will use the required and the email validators:

<input v-validate="'required|email'" type="text" name="email">

Now every time the input changes, the validator will run the list of validations from left to right, populating the errors helper object whenever an input fails validation.

To access the errors object (in your vue instance):

this.$validator.errorBag;
// or
this.errors; // injected into $data by the plugin, you can customize the property name.

Let's display the error for the email input we've created:

<!-- If it has an email error, display the first message associated with it. -->
<span v-show="errors.has('email')">{{ errors.first('email') }}</span>

Using Components

Validation components uses the scoped slots feature to pass down validation state and results.

<template>
  <div>
    <ValidationProvider rules="required|email">
      <div slot-scope="{ errors }">
        <input v-model="value">
        <p>{{ errors[0] }}</p>
      </div>
    </ValidationProvider>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { ValidationProvider } from 'vee-validate';

export default {
  data: () => ({
    value: ''
  }),
  components: {
    ValidationProvider
  }
}
</script>

Contributing

You are welcome to contribute to this repo with anything you think is useful. Fixes are more than welcome. However if you are adding a new validation rule, it should have multiple uses or be as generic as possible.

You can find more information in the contribution guide.
