Adding custom form validators in RedwoodJS involves leveraging the validation prop available on form input components like TextField, TextAreaField, etc., which accepts all of React Hook Form's register options. This prop allows you to specify custom validation logic directly within your form fields, making it possible to enforce rules such as required fields, pattern matching, or custom validation functions.
For instance, when you're creating a form field with RedwoodJS, you can specify validation rules directly in the component. Here's a simplified example to illustrate how you might add validation for a required email field with a specific pattern:
<TextField
name="email"
validation={{
required: true,
pattern: {
value: /[^@]+@[^\.]+\..+/,
message: "Please enter a valid email address",
},
}}
/>
In this example, the TextField component for the email address is marked as required and must match a regular expression pattern that validates the format of an email address. If the input does not meet these criteria, the form will display an error, helping ensure that users submit valid data.
RedwoodJS forms are designed to simplify the process of handling form validation, abstracting much of the complexity involved in managing form state and validation logic. By utilizing the validation prop, developers can define a wide range of validation requirements directly within their form fields, making it easier to ensure that the data collected through forms is accurate and meets the application's requirements.
For more complex validation logic or to understand the full capabilities of RedwoodJS forms and React Hook Form's validation options, refer to the official RedwoodJS documentation on forms and React Hook Form's documentation【6†source】【7†source】.
