Spectre plugin

Integrate with the Spectre framework
The plugin supports Spectre v0.5.8.

Usage

The following piece of code is the starting point to validate the form made in Spectre:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/spectre.css/0.5.8/spectre.min.css" />
<!-- To use with the Icon plugin -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/spectre.css/0.5.8/spectre-icons.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/vendors/@form-validation/umd/styles/index.min.css" />
</head>
<body>
<form id="demoForm" method="POST">...</form>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/es6-shim/0.35.3/es6-shim.min.js"></script>
<script src="/vendors/@form-validation/umd/bundle/popular.min.js"></script>
<script src="/vendors/@form-validation/umd/plugin-spectre/index.min.js"></script>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(e) {
FormValidation.formValidation(
document.getElementById('demoForm'),
{
fields: {
...
},
plugins: {
spectre: new FormValidation.plugins.Spectre(),
...
},
}
);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
The sample code above assumes that the FormValidation files are placed inside the vendors directory. You might need to change the path depending on where you place them on the server.
The next sections list out some examples of various forms made with Spectre.

Using the npm packages

If you are using a bundler such as Webpack, Rollup, Parcel or Vite, etc., to bundle your application, then it's recommended to use the FormValidation NPM packages.
  • Install the packages:
$ npm install @form-validation/bundle
$ npm install @form-validation/plugin-spectre
  • Import and use the Spectre plugin:
import { formValidation } from '@form-validation/bundle/popular';
import { Spectre } from '@form-validation/plugin-spectre';
formValidation(
document.getElementById('demoForm'),
{
fields: {
...
},
plugins: {
spectre: new Spectre({
...
}),
...
},
}
);

Multiple fields on the same row

In order to add the correct class for error message and the field element when it is a valid or invalid, we need to specify the CSS selector of the field container.
By default, the Spectre plugin will look for the .form-group element. In the following example, the firstName and lastName fields are placed inside .col-4 containers. Meanwhile, the city, state and zipcode fields can be found inside the .col-3 containers.
The rowSelector option will be used to help the plugin determine the field containers as following:
spectre: new FormValidation.plugins.Spectre({
rowSelector: function(field, ele) {
// field is the field name
// ele is the field element
switch (field) {
case 'firstName':
case 'lastName':
return '.col-4';
case 'city':
case 'state':
case 'zipcode':
return '.col-3';
default:
return '.form-group';
}
}
}),
