... minimalist form validation with powerful results
Validating forms has notoriously been a painful development experience. Implementing client side validation in a user friendly way is a tedious and arduous process • you want to validate fields only at the appropriate time (when the user has had the chance to enter the data) • you want to present validation errors in a pleasing way • you may need to apply custom validation (specific to your application domain) • etc.
Even with the introduction of HTML5's Form Validation, it is still overly complex, and doesn't address many common scenarios (mentioned above). Without the proper approach, form validation can be one of the most difficult tasks in web development.
This is currently work-in-progress and will be used to cross-communicate to co-workers on the project.
