nyxgear / formtools Goto Github PK

@nyxgear I'm finishing a pull-request for a full automated development environment, docker-based.
Based on 2 containers: tools (building, linting, livereload server), docs (sphinx docs generation)

It would be very useful to have a callback on the validation call to customize error handling.
I suggest the following:

$(form).formtools('validate', function (field, errorMsg) {
  return false; // prevents default behavior (aka adding has-error to form-group
  return true; // or nothing -> default behavior
}

The new Chrome is more aggressive on type="date" input fields.

When using formtools the date validation works by the formtools' rules but the browser presents a calendar widget to the user that thus selects a wrong formatted date.

This is not easy to deal with. We must choose if we want to use the browser native field enhancement or block it and use ours.
A simple workaround is using a normal text type but the formtools date validation doesn't kick in and we must validate it manually (via data-ft-regex).
