Overview

The Ember CLI HTML5 Validation addon is a powerful tool designed to enhance form validation within your Ember applications, adhering closely to the HTML5 specifications. This simplifies the validation process for developers, making it easier to ensure that forms operate smoothly across supported browsers. With a focus on user experience, it integrates seamlessly into existing forms without requiring significant code changes.

This addon is particularly suited for straightforward forms, ensuring that validation occurs naturally while offering the flexibility to customize error messages. While it aims to support modern browsers, it also provides solutions for compatibility with older versions through the H5F polyfill. Whether you're building a small project or an expansive web application, this addon can help improve your form's integrity and user feedback.

Features

  • Automatic Validation: The addon automatically incorporates validation into form controls like input, radio buttons, checkboxes, and textareas, requiring minimal setup from the developer.

  • Custom Error Messaging: Customize error messages by adding a title attribute to your form controls, allowing for a personalized user experience while adhering to standard practices.

  • Error Accumulation: Wrap your form in the validatable-form component to collect all error messages for display at the form level, enabling easier management of user feedback.

  • Native Browser Messages: Option to utilize the built-in error messages provided by browsers, which can be easily overridden for consistency across different environments.

  • Form Submission Control: Integrate a block param for accessing isSubmitting and errorMessages, allowing for dynamic updates during the form submission process.

  • Flexible Error Handling: Use the each-in helper to iterate over error messages, providing flexibility in how errors are presented to the user without losing context.

  • Action Overrides: Customize the default submission action name, giving developers control over event handling for their forms.

  • Support for Legacy Browsers: While primarily targeting modern browsers (IE10+, Firefox 4+, etc.), it offers compatibility options for older internet versions through polyfills.
