Core Concept

The core concept of Validointi is that you use a model, a validation library by your choice and one directive that will make your template form have super powers.

Model​

A model contains information and it shouldn't have any behavior. This model contains the information that we will use in our form. Below an example off a simple model that represants a simple form.

{
    name: 'Your name',
    email: 'info@example.org',
    password: 'a-p-a-s-s-w-o-r-d'
    confirmPassword: 'a-p-a-s-s-w-o-r-d'
}

Validation library​

When using Angular we have a set off default validators like: required, min, max. These are HTML5 validations hooked up to Angular, Angular uses several directives to support these validations in template driven forms. When a form is getting more complex we need custom "validation", here it is where validation librarys come in. Validation library have a purpose, make validation easy! There is a brought set of validation / schema validator libraries, below a set of libraries that could be intressting, in our documentation we always will look at Vest.

Adapters​

Adapters are simple functions that do some heavy lifting for you with one of the above mentioned validation libraries. A adapter can be used when registering the validation set. This will look something like

validate = this.#vr.registerValidator("sample-data", createSomeLibAdapter(suite));
caution

At this moment we ONLY support a Vest Adapter createVestAdapter and a Joi Adapter createJoiAdapter
