formVery.js

formVery.js is a simple jQuery plugin that validates html forms. It is very simple to use and very lightweight. The .formVery() function returns a boolean value. It is suggested to test against this boolean value in the "success" function of the .formVery() call.

How To Use

// #send is the form's submit button
// #contactForm is the form itself

$("#send").on('click',function(e){
	//prevent form from being submitted before validation
	e.preventDefault();

	$("#contactForm").formVery({
        errorClass: 'error',
        addMoneySign: true,
        dateStyle: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
        dateSplitter: '/',
        success: function(valid){
        	//if successful
        	if(valid){
            	//perform success function here
            } else {
            	//perform error function here
            }
        }
    });
});

<form id="contactForm">
	Name:<br>
	<input type="text" name="userName" id="userName" class="formVery" default-data="" /><br><br>
	Email:<br>
	<input type="text" name="userEmail" id="userEmail" class="formVery formEmail" value="Email Address" default-data="Email Address" /><br><br>
	<input type="submit" id="send" value="Send" />
</form>

Steps to implement formVery.js

Add formVery.js and the jQuery library to your page
Add the class name "formVery" to all inputs you want to verify, or not allow null values
Add the "default-data" attribute and set it to the default value of that input (default-data="" if input is empty)
- Optional - Add additional class names (listed below in table) for special validations

Special Validation

If you want to have special validation, you must add the following classes to validate the corresponding input types:

Class Name	Validation Type
formVery	Makes sure input is not empty
formNumeric	Numbers Only
formMoney	Styles input like money
formDate	Numerical Dates Only
formEmail	Email Address Only
formCreditCard	Credit Card Numbers Only

API

errorClass

The errorClass property is the CSS class that will be applied to the input on error. This plug in does not how any text associated with the errors. Instead, it modifies the actual input's apperance with the CSS class.

dateStyle

The dateStyle property is the format in which you wish date input textboxes to resemble. For example, if you wanted the dates to be in the form of 01/28/1989, the dateStyle would be set to 'mm/dd/yyyy'. If you wanted it to be like 1-28-99, you would pass in 'm-dd-yy'.

dateSplitter

The dateSplitter property is what the delimeter is for the dateStyle. You must inlcude this if you set dateStyle.

addMoneySign

The addMoneySign property tells formVery.js to add a '$' to the left of the input box for all .formMoney class inputs.

success

The success property is a function. This function is what runs when the form is finished validating. It is best to check if the 'valid' parameter is set to true or false and perform the needed actions inside the if statement.
