Tips for Parsley [JS form validation]

Parsley is a HTML form validation library in JavaScript.

There are some advantages of Parsley:

No need to write JS code for simple form validation, it’s really easy.
It automatically detects user modification in input form and adapts its validation.

In this post, we would like to share basic knowledge when we used it in work.

Parsley validates input like this:

<script src="jquery.js">script>
<script src="parsley.min.js">script>

<form class="demo-form" data-parsley-validate>
  <div class="first">
    <label for="firstname">Firstname:label>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="firstname" data-parsley-length="[4, 20]" data-parsley-group="block1">

    <label for="lastname">Lastname:label>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="lastname" data-parsley-length="[4, 20]" data-parsley-group="block1">
  div>
form>

👽 Built-in validators

Parsley comes with many builtin validators and provides tools. Some of the validators are as follows:

Name	API	Description
`Require`	`data-parsley-required`	It validates that a field has filled with a non blank value
`Equalto`	`data-parsley-equalto="#anotherfield"`	It validates that the value is identical to another field’s value(e.g. Password confirmation check)
