Different messages on multiple validation of a single field

[SvetlinStaev]

I would like to validate a field based on a few criteria and I have created custom validators for each of them.

I load the criteria:

                validate : {
                    'listing[title]' : {
                        'validation': 'caps_abuse, phone_abuse, required',
                        '_data-sanitize': 'trim capitalize',
                        'error-msg': 'The title is required for the form'
                    },

with the following validators:

            $.formUtils.addValidator({
                name : 'caps_abuse',
                validatorFunction : function(value, $el, config, language, $form) {
                    var totalLetters = value.length,
                        split = value.split(''),
                        caps = $.grep(split, function(letter) {
                            return letter.toLowerCase() != letter;
                        }),
                        percent = totalLetters > 0 ? (100 * caps.length) / totalLetters : 0;
                    return percent < 75;
                },
                errorMessage : 'Please do not use extensively caps for the title',
                errorMessageKey: 'caps-abuse-error'
            });

            $.formUtils.addValidator({
                name : 'phone_abuse',
                validatorFunction : function(value, $el, config, language, $form) {
                    var phoneTest = new RegExp(/([0-9][7-9][0-9\(\)\-\s*\.\,]{6,9})/gi);
                    return !phoneTest.test(value);
                },
                errorMessage : 'Phone numbers are not allowed',
                errorMessageKey: 'phone-abuse-error'
            });

This checks if the text is all caps, if it has a phone number in it and the default required validator.

The problem is regardless of the type of the failed validation only the text from the data-validation-error-msg attribute is shown. Is there a way to display the errorMessage from each of the custom validators when the validation fails for that particular validator?

You can declare a message for each validation rule.

<input ..
   data-validation-error-msg-phone_abuse="..." 
   data-validation-error-msg-caps_abuse="...">

The error messages declared by the validator will be used if you leave out the inline declaration (data-validation-error-msg). If the input has an inline declaration it will be used every time the input gets invalid, instead of the messages coming from the validators.
