Usage

<script>
  import svelteValidator, { required, minLength, equal, not } from 'svelte-validator'
 
  const [valueStore, errorStore] = svelteValidator.create({
    initial: '',
    rules: [
      required({ message: 'Cannot be blank!' }),
      minLength(3, { message: 'Should be longer than 3.' }),
      not(equal(10, { message: 'Should not equal to 10.' })),
    ]
  })
 
  const errors = svelteValidator.deriveErrors([errorStores])
 
  async function submit(event) {
    await svelteValidator.validateAll([valueStore]) // activate all value stores and call `tick()`
 
    if ($errors.length === 0) {
      // do submit!
    }
  }
</script> 
 
<form>
  <input bind:value="{$valueStore}">
  {#if 'required' in $errorStore}
    <span>{$errorStore.required.message}</span>
  {/if}
  {#if 'minLength' in $errorStore}
    <span>{$errorStore.minLength.message}</span>
  {/if}
  {#if 'notEqual' in $errorStore}
    <span>{$errorStore.notEqual.message}</span>
  {/if}
 
  <button type="submit" disabled="{$errors.length > 0}" on:click="{submit}">Submit</button>
</form>

svelteValidator.create Options

rules

An array of validators.

initial

Initial value of valueStore.

immediate

If false, validation does not run until calling valueStore.activate(). Default true. For example this can be used to prevent from displaying errors until first blur event occurs.

<input type="text" on:blur="{valueStore.activate}">

Builtin Validators

• required(error)
• equal(value, error)
• minValue(min, error)
• maxValue(max, error)
• betweenValue([min, max], error)
• minLength(length, error)
• maxLength(length, error)
• betweenLength([min, max], error)
• format(regex, error)
• not(validator)

error argument

Arbitrary error value.

const [valueStore, errorStore] = svelteValidator.create({
  initial: '',
  rules: [
    required({ foo: 'bar' }),
  ]
})
 
$errorStore.required.foo // === 'bar'

Custom Rule

You can implement your own validation rule. It should be an object which has name, isValid and error properties.

const myRule = {
  name: 'myRule',
  isValid: (value) => {
    // true or false
  },
  error: { message: '...', color: 'red' }
}
 
const [valueStore, errorStore] = svelteValidator.create({ rules: [myRule] })
// $errorStore.myRule appears when value violates the rule.
