Form validator : data-validate="date" issue

[Falconpage]

Hello,

I've got a problem with form validator when I'm using data-validate="date"

-> validator failed to check the data-format I set. It check using the "us" one.

My input field :

<input type="text" value="" data-role="calendarpicker" data-locale="fr-FR" data-format="%d/%m/%Y" data-validate="date" data-header-format="%A %e %B"/>

I'm using this local :

Metro.utils.addLocale({ 'fr-FR': { "calendar": { "months": [ "Janvier", "Février", "Mars", "Avril", "Mai", "Juin", "Juillet", "Août", "Septembre", "Octobre", "Novembre", "Décembre", "Jan", "Fev", "Mar", "Avr", "Mai", "Juin", "Jui", "Aou", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" ], "days": [ "Dimanche", "Lundi", "Mardi", "Mercredi", "Jeudi", "Vendredi", "Samedi", "Di", "Lu", "Ma", "Me", "Je", "Ve", "Sa", "Dim", "Lun", "Mar", "Mer", "Jeu", "Ven", "Sam" ], "time": { "days": "JOURS", "hours": "HEURES", "minutes": "MINS", "seconds": "SECS" } }, "buttons": { "ok": "OK", "cancel": "Cancel", "done": "Done", "today": "Today", "now": "Now", "clear": "Clear", "help": "Help", "yes": "Yes", "no": "No", "random": "Random" } } });

The validator return false if value can not be converted to date with js date parser. You use formating for date value. To check it, use rule required

The picker will not allow you to specify an unavailable date and you will have to check for a mandatory value with required rule

Thanks, I have modified this input to allow me specify a value manually using your picker : onclick -> removeAttr('readonly') This is why I would like to validate this input. Sorry I don't understand "requared", do you mean regular expression ?

Use data-validate="required"

Ok, done. For the input where I allow modification I'm using this expression that allow check the french format. If it help someone : dd/mm/yyyy

data-validate='pattern=^(((((0[1-9])|(1\d)|(2[0-8]))\/((0[1-9])|(1[0-2])))|((31\/((0[13578])|(1[02])))|((29|30)\/((0[1,3-9])|(1[0-2])))))\/((20[0-9][0-9])|(19[0-9][0-9])))|((29\/02\/(19|20)(([02468][048])|([13579][26]))))$'
