Feature: Add validation

[JEQ7]

Hi I'm currently using the Budibase https://github.com/chungchunwang/Budibase-File-Upload plugin

And I want to make this field required

I try making the field column required in the database and then validate form But still I cant make the Budibase-File-Upload field required

(At less one file should be upload ) Any suggestions??

Hi! Under the current implementation, an empty field would be considered as satisfying Budibase's "required" validation, as an empty JSON array is still stored in the field. However, you can circumvent this by adding another validation step that disallows the following string value: .[]. - If you are using encoding protection or [] - If you are not using encoding protection

Also keep the required validation step as well - an empty array is not stored if the plugin is not clicked in the form.

Obviously, it would be better for the plugin to not store an empty array at all if there is not file stored; this would enable the required validation to work. I'm really busy as of the moment, but I will add this if I get the time.

That will be so great and helpful for us!! We will wait for new release for the "Budibase-File-Upload" plugin

Thanks in advance @chungchunwang :)

Hi! Can I see what validation rule you have on the file upload field?

[chungchunwang]

Oh, never mind, I see the problem. There is no validation field on the component at all. Will try to add this.

[JEQ7]

Yes exactly it's only have an opinion for conditions to set

[chungchunwang]

Hi @JEQ7! Ok, it should be fixed. Try updating again. There will now be a validation field on the object for you to set required on.

Hi! That is not an error message I set, maybe it could be caused by something else in your project? I do not get any popup messages at all on my end. Instead, the message shows up like this: Currently the red error message only shows up if you upload a file and then delete it. I could not get it to update if the user attempts to submit the form. Instead, submitting the form will quietly fail, meaning that the submission will not go through as long as the requirement is not satisfied. Besides the slight UI issue, this should solve your issue of not allowing empty fields. Maybe add a bit of text at the bottom of the form indicating to the user that the form won't submit if they don't upload a file.

By the way, sorry for the sudden influx of new version notifications - I am not at my normal computer and thus do not have the Budibase dev tool installed. Thus, I'm just publishing changes and then testing the compiled plugin.

[chungchunwang]

I have asked for help here: https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/discussions/10582 I'll update the plugin as soon as I figure out how to solve the issue.

[JEQ7]

I have made it work correctly! Thanks @chungchunwang for your help and support :)

[chungchunwang]

Great to hear!

This should be fixed now! Turns out it was related to this default value issue #8.
