integer validator

Validate an integer number

The validator accepts both positive and negative numbers.

Options

Using with form field

The HTML attributes are used to set the validator options via the Declarative plugin

Name	HTML attribute	Type	Description
`message`	`data-fv-integer___message`	`String`	The error message
`thousandsSeparator`	`data-fv-integer___thousands-separator`	`String`	The thousands separator

The popular values for the thousandsSeparator option are:

An empty string (the default value)
A bank space
A comma (,)
A dot (.)

Name	HTML attribute	Type	Description
`decimalSeparator`	`data-fv-integer___decimal-separator`	`String`	The decimal separator

The popular values for the decimalSeparator option are:

A dot (.) (the default value)
A comma (,)

The thousandsSeparator and decimalSeparator options are useful if your country use particular separators for thousands and decimal parts. See the next Supporting locales section for more details.

Using with ES6 module

// You might need to change the importing path
import integer from 'formvalidation/dist/es6/validators/integer';

const result = integer().validate({
    value: ...,
    options: {
        decimalSeparator: ...,
        message: ...,
        thousandsSeparator: ...,
    },
});
/*
result is an object of
{
    valid: true or false,
    message: The error message
}
*/

Supporting locales

The thousands and decimal separators might take different value in certain countries. The following table introduces some popular values that are defined by various countries.

Country	Thousands separator	Decimal separator
United States	A comma (,)	A dot (.)
France	A blank space	A comma (,)
Italy	A dot (.)	A comma (,)

The example also uses the updateValidatorOption() method to set values for thousandsSeparator and decimalSeparator options.

formValidationInstance
    // Update the options
    .updateValidatorOption('number', 'integer', 'thousandsSeparator', thousandsSeparator)
    .updateValidatorOption('number', 'integer', 'decimalSeparator', decimalSeparator);

Since the thousands and decimal separators are various, the field should use type="text" attribute. Using type="number" for field will restrict the input to use default separators for an integer number (an empty string for thousands, and a dot for decimal parts).

Basic example

HTML5 Example

When the Declarative plugin is used, the integer validator will be enabled automatically when using HTML5 type="number" attribute.

ES6 Module Example

The following snippet shows how to use the integer validator with ES6 module:

// You might need to change the importing path
import integer from 'formvalidation/dist/es6/validators/integer';

const res1 = integer().validate({
    value: '967295.00',
    options: {
        thousandsSeparator: '',
        decimalSeparator: '.',
        message: 'The value is not a valid integer number',
    },
});
// res1.valid === true

const res2 = integer().validate({
    value: '4967,295',
    options: {
        thousandsSeparator: ',',
        decimalSeparator: '.',
        message: 'The value is not a valid integer number',
    },
});
// res2.valid === false

const res3 = integer().validate({
    value: '4 294 967 295',
    options: {
        thousandsSeparator: ' ',
        decimalSeparator: ',',
        message: 'The value is not a valid integer number',
    },
});
// res3.valid === true
