EPiServer Forms custom validator

Vote:

I'm trying to implement a custom validator for my form elements. I started following this post By Mark van Dijk. There it says that in order to get the javascript to load correctly, the following lines of code needs to be implemented:

[ServiceConfiguration(ServiceType = typeof(IViewModeExternalResources))]
public class FormsViewModeExternalResource : IViewModeExternalResources
{
public IEnumerable> Resources
{
get
{
var arrRes = new List>
{
new Tuple("script", 
"/ClientResources/ViewMode/FormsValidators.js"),
};
return arrRes;
}
}
}

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as what I can see, the file FormsValidators.js have been removed in 3.0.0 and "baked into" EPiServerForms.js? Then when I substitute the line above with the following:

/ClientResources/ViewMode/EPiServerForms.js

I end up with a 404.

Should I be using a different approach here or what?

Thanks in advance

/ Carl

Hi Carl,

I can't remember such file FormsValidators.js. We don't have that.

I have provided fully working example (and production level) code at https://github.com/episerver/EPiServer.Forms.Samples

You can take a look at DateTimeValidator and RecapchaValidator

The serverside validation is implemented in C# code, easily to see
The clientside validation is implemented in https://github.com/episerver/EPiServer.Forms.Samples/blob/master/ClientResources/ViewMode/EPiServerFormsSamples.js, which is loaded by this. It extends the builtin epi.EPiServer.Forms JavaScript object

Hope this help.

Thach Lockevn.
