issue in Bootstrap 4 validation on select field - javascript

I'm new to jQuery and Bootstrap, I'm using jquery and Bootstrap 4 for validation of my form modal, whenever there is an error it must show the error below the corresponding fields, but in my case the select field gets overwritten by the error and select field disappears but it works fine for input field.
here have a look and if you want to have a close look on image just click on it..
As you can see the select fields get overwritten by the fieldError but it's fine for input field.
here's my jQuery validation code:
$(function(){
setCategorySelect();
$(document).on('shown.bs.modal','#manageItemsModal', function () {
$('#manageItemsModal #btnSubmit').on('click', function(){
if (validateForm()) {
messageSuccess("Very well");
} else {
messageError("Oops!!");
}
});
});
});
function validateForm() {
var validationStatus = true;
if ($('#manageItemsForm #selectedCategory').val().length == 0) {
showFieldError(('#manageItemsForm #selectedCategory'), 'Must not be blank');
if (validationStatus) { $('#manageItemsForm #selectedCategory').focus() };
validationStatus = false;
}
if ($('#manageItemsForm #selectedBrandModel').val().length == 0) {
showFieldError(('#manageItemsForm #selectedBrandModel'), 'Must not be blank');
if (validationStatus) { $('#manageItemsForm #selectedBrandModel').focus() };
validationStatus = false;
}
if ($('#manageItemsForm #serialNo').val().length == 0) {
showFieldError(('#manageItemsForm #serialNo'), 'Must not be blank');
if (validationStatus) { $('#manageItemsForm #serialNo').focus() };
validationStatus = false;
}
if ($('#manageItemsForm #selectedVendor').val().length == 0) {
showFieldError(('#manageItemsForm #selectedVendor'), 'Must not be blank');
if (validationStatus) { $('#manageItemsForm #selectedVendor').focus() };
validationStatus = false;
}
if ($('#manageItemsForm #selectedBranch').val().length == 0) {
showFieldError(('#manageItemsForm #selectedBranch'), 'Must not be blank');
if (validationStatus) { $('#manageItemsForm #selectedBranch').focus() };
validationStatus = false;
}
return validationStatus;
}
function showFieldError(element, message) {
$(element).addClass('is-invalid');
$(element).next().html(message);
$(element).next().show();
}
function clearFieldError(element) {
$(element).removeClass('is-invalid');
$(element).removeAttr('required');
$(element).next().html('');
}
function setCategorySelect() {
var $categorySelect = $('#manageItemsForm #selectedCategory').selectize({
selectOnTab: true,
closeAfterSelect: true,
persist: false,
create: false,
valueField: 'id',
labelField: 'text',
options: [],
preload: true,
onInitialize : function() {
var self = this;
$.ajax({
url: '/assetCategory/search',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: {
searchText: '*'
},
error: function() {
callback();
},
success: function(res) {
self.addOption(res.data);
}
});
},
load: function(query, callback) {
if (query.length <= 2) return callback();
$.ajax({
url: '/assetCategory/search',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: {
searchText: query + "*"
},
error: function() {
callback();
},
success: function(res) {
console.log(res.data);
callback(res.data);
$categorySelect.refreshItems();
},
fail : function() {
callback();
}
});
}
});
}

By the way I am using jQuery in Spring boot and everything is working fine(save, update, delete) except for validation from jQuery.
Please help!!

I can't see working code because you using some external references like selectize.
I suggest you get used to "snippets" to provide code.
Bytheway, your problem seems to be just about styles. I can't know, but my bet is you just need to provide a css style for
.select::after.error {
color:red;
}
You can inspect and copy CSS code.

The problem is in Your HTML, the nodes of your .input-group does not have allways the same structure. In some cases you have .invalid-feedback just after the input such as this HTML
<div class="form-group">
<label for="serialNo" class="col-form-label"><span class="text-danger">*
</span>Serial No.</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="serialNo" name="serialNo">
<div class="invalid-feedback"></div>
</div>
For other fields the .invalid-feedback isn't after the input but outside from .form-group. take a look
<div class="input-group date" data-date-format="dd-M-yyyy">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="purchaseDate" name="purchaseDate" />
<span class="input-group-text input-group-append input-group-addon">
<i class="simple-icon-calendar"></i>
</span>
</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback"></div>
This difference in HTML structure of the form made your showFieldError() and clearFieldError() not working allways as you expected, because $(element).next() don't catch the right DOM node for insert/remove the validation message. So in some cases clearFieldError remove the wrong HTML tag and this can make your selects disappear
function showFieldError(element, message) {
$(element).addClass('is-invalid');
$(element).next().html(message);
$(element).next().show();
}
function clearFieldError(element) {
$(element).removeClass('is-invalid');
$(element).removeAttr('required');
$(element).next().html('');
}
So you have to fix Your HTML to obtain the same structure for all fields. Put the <div class="invalid-feedback"></div> allways just below the select or input field. Otherwise you have to change the selector that you pass to showFieldError() and clearFieldError() functions according to your HTML
Otherwise a simply approach is to add a ID to divs with class .invalid-feedback, an ID which you can easily manage by his related input ID, something like
<div class="input-group date" data-date-format="dd-M-yyyy">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="purchaseDate" name="purchaseDate" />
<span class="input-group-text input-group-append input-group-addon">
<i class="simple-icon-calendar"></i>
</span>
</div>
<div id="purchaseDate_err_mex" class="invalid-feedback"></div>
in this way you can pass the input name to your functions and them becomes
function showFieldError(input_id, message) {
$('#'+input_id).addClass('is-invalid');
$('#'+ input_id +'_err_mex').html(message).show();
}
function clearFieldError(input_id) {
$('#'+input_id).removeClass('is-invalid');
//$('#'+input_id).removeAttr('required');
/* don't need to remove required attribute from mandatory fields */
$('#'+ input_name +'_err_mex').html('').hide();
}
and the validation function
function validateForm() {
var validationStatus = true;
if ($('#selectedCategory').val().length == 0) {
showFieldError('selectedCategory', 'Must not be blank');
if (validationStatus) { $('#selectedCategory').focus() };
validationStatus = false;
}
........
return validationStatus;
}
You only check if the length of all fields is more than 0, so you can validate the entire form within a loop
function validateForm() {
var validationStatus = true;
var form_inputs = $('#manageItemsForm input, #manageItemsForm select')
$.each(form_inputs,function(){
var input_id = $(this).attr('name');
clearFieldError(input_id);
if ($.trim($(this).val()).length == 0 && $(this).is("[required]")) {
showFieldError(input_id, 'Must not be blank');
if (validationStatus) { $('#'+input_id).focus() };
validationStatus = false;
}
});
return validationStatus;
}

How to specify minlength in jquery?

If the status value is completed then comment field is required is working good.But the problem is, I want to specify comment field is required for minimum of 50 character.
The Below code: index.php
<!-- Select Basic -->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="selectbasic">Status</label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<select id="status" name="status[]" class="form-control" >
<option value="Pending">Pending</option>
<option value="Work in process">Work in process</option>
<option value="Completed">Completed</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="textinput">Comment</label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<input id="commentss" name="comment[]" type="text" placeholder="" class="form-control input-md" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8 col-sm-12 col-24">
<div class="input_fields" style="color:black">
<button class="add_field btn " onclick="incrementValue()" >Add More</button>
<div>
<input type="text" name="mytextt[]" hidden="" ></div>
</div>
</div>
Javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#status").click(function () {
if ($("#status").val() == "Completed") {
$("#commentss").attr("required", "required");
}
else
$("#commentss").attr("required", false);
});
});
</script>
Use length to find the length of the string
if($('#commentss').val().length < 50){
alert("Please enter 50 characters atleast");
} else {
//submit
}
For this please use below code :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#status").click(function () {
var commenttext = document.getElementById('commentss').value;
if (commenttext.length < 50)
{
alert("Please Enter minimum 50 character!")
}
else
{
//Add code
}
});
});
</script>
In Jquery ...
For Dynamic Tracking ...
(You can use blur or keyup even too.)
$(function() {
//disable submit if you want to
$('#commentss').on('input', function(e) {
if(this.value.length >= 50) {
//success
} else {
//fail?
}
});
});
To Validate on Click only ...

JQuery regex email validation preventing form from submitting

I have a 'contact us' form on our website, people fill out name, email, and message and hit send. Currently the form won't submit if I have the email validation in my code.
Here is HTML form code:
<form role="form" id="feedbackForm">
<div class="form-group">

<div class="form-group">

<div class="input-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter Your Email" required/>
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-unchecked form-control-feedback"></i></span>
</div>
<span class="help-block" style="display: none;">Please enter a valid e-mail address.</span>

<div class="form-group">

<option value="Provide Feedback">Provide Feedback</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label" for="message">Message *</label>
<div class="input-group">
<textarea rows="5" class="form-control" id="message" name="message" placeholder="Enter Your Message" required></textarea>

<button type="submit" id="feedbackSubmit" class="btn btn-success btn-lg" data-loading-text="Sending..." style="display: block; margin-top: 10px;">Send Feedback
</button>
</div>
</form>
and here's the jquery code:
(function () {
//using regular expressions, validate email
var contactFormUtils = {
isValidEmail: function (email) {
var regex = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_.+-])+\#(([a-zA-Z0-9-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
return regex.test(email);
},
//if no form errors, remove or hide error messages
clearErrors: function () {
$('#emailAlert').remove();

//upon form clear remove the checked class and replace with unchecked class. Also reset Google ReCaptcha
clearForm: function () {

grecaptcha.reset();
},
//when error, show error messages and track that error exists
addError: function ($input) {
var parentFormGroup = $input.parents('.form-group');
parentFormGroup.children('.help-block').show();
parentFormGroup.addClass('has-error');
},
addAjaxMessage: function(msg, isError) {
$("#feedbackSubmit").after('<div id="emailAlert" class="alert alert-' + (isError ? 'danger' : 'success') + '" style="margin-top: 5px;">' + $('<div/>').text(msg).html() + '</div>');
}
};
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#feedbackSubmit").click(function() {
var $btn = $(this);
$btn.button('loading');
contactFormUtils.clearErrors();
//do a little client-side validation -- check that each field has a value and e-mail field is in proper format
//use bootstrap validator (https://github.com/1000hz/bootstrap-validator) if provided, otherwise a bit of custom validation
var $form = $("#feedbackForm"),
hasErrors = false;
if ($form.validator) {
hasErrors = $form.validator('validate').hasErrors;
} else {
$('#feedbackForm input,#feedbackForm textarea').not('.optional').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
if (($this.is(':checkbox') && !$this.is(':checked')) || !$this.val()) {
hasErrors = true;
contactFormUtils.addError($(this));
}
});
var $email = $('#email');
if (!contactFormUtils.isValidEmail($email.val())) {
hasErrors = true;
contactFormUtils.addError($email);
}
}
//if there are any errors return without sending e-mail
if (hasErrors) {
$btn.button('reset');
return false;
}
//send the feedback e-mail
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "php/sendmail.php",
data: $form.serialize(),
success: function(data) {
contactFormUtils.addAjaxMessage(data.message, false);
contactFormUtils.clearForm();
},

$('#feedbackForm input, #feedbackForm textarea').change(function () {
var checkBox = $(this).siblings('span.input-group-addon').children('.glyphicon');
if ($(this).val()) {
checkBox.removeClass('glyphicon-unchecked').addClass('glyphicon-check').css({color: 'green'});
} else {
checkBox.removeClass('glyphicon-check').addClass('glyphicon-unchecked').css({color: ''});
}
});
});
})();
When I remove this bit of code that validates if the email is in correct format then the form sends to my email right away.
var $email = $('#email');
if (!contactFormUtils.isValidEmail($email.val())) {
hasErrors = true;
contactFormUtils.addError($email);
}
Which in turn leads to this bit, I believe :
if (hasErrors) {
$btn.button('reset');
return false;
}
if I comment out 'return false;' then it sends the form
I can't find what part of the email validation prevents the form from submitting?
Maybe you have another element with id="email" somewhere.
Maybe try:
$('#feedbackForm input[type=email]').each(function() {
if (!contactFormUtils.isValidEmail(this.val())) {
hasErrors = true;
contactFormUtils.addError(this);
console.log("ERROR: Invalid email: "+this.val()+" in input "+this.attr("name"));
}
})

How to update Parent form from a Modal

I have a modal form that updates a client's address once the "save" button is clicked. I want to use a AJAX call to update the Model's data once the modal form is closed. It would then redirect back to the parent form from which the modal form was called (Index.cshtml). The AJAX call is successfully retrieving the updated modal form's data via the textboxes but it always throws an error.
TL;DR: Want to close a modal form, redirect to parent form and update the text displayed there.
Please see below for my code snippets:
Controller
[ValidateInput(false), HttpPost]
public JsonResult UpdateClientDetails(Client newClientDetails)
{
_clientService.UpdateClient(newClientDetails);
return Json(newClientDetails);
}
$('.btn-update-client').click(function (e) {
var id = $(this).val();
$('#updateClientModal .modal-content').load('/client/UpdateClientDetails/' + id);
$('#updateClientModal').modal('show');
});
View (Index.cshtml)
<div class="panel-body">
<label>Client Id: <span id="ClientId">#id</span></label>
<address>
<span id="Address1">#client.Address1</span>, <span id="Address2">#client.Address2</span><br>
<span id="City">#client.City</span>, <span id="Province">#client.Province</span><br>
<span id="PostalCode">#client.PostalCode</span><br>
<abbr title="Phone">P:</abbr> <span id="PhoneNumber">#client.PhoneNumber</span>
</address>
<div><button value="#id" type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-update-client">Change</button></div>
</div>

Controller Method
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(_clientService.GetClientList());
}
Modal Form
#model Client
#using ProductManager.Models
<div class="modal-header">
<h4 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">#Model.Name - ID: #Model.Id</h4>
</div>
#{
var attributes = new Dictionary<string, object>();
attributes.Add("class", "form-horizontal");
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("UpdateClientDetails", "Client", FormMethod.Post, attributes))
{
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="clientAddress1" class="col-xs-3 control-label">Address 1</label>
<div class="col-xs-9">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="clientAddress1" name="Address1" value="#Model.Address1">

<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
}
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.btn-primary').click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: getModelData(),
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
$("#Address1").text(data.Address1);
$("#Address2").text(data.Address2);
$("#City").text(data.City);
$("#Province").text(data.Province);
$("#PostalCode").text(data.PostalCode);
$("#PhoneNumber").text(data.PhoneNumber);
},
error: function () {
alert("Error occured!");
}
});
function getModelData() {
var dataToSubmit = {
Address1: $("#clientAddress1").val(),
Address2: $("#clientAddress2").val(),
City: $("#clientCity").val(),
Province: $("#clientProvince").val(),
PostalCode: $("#clientPostalCode").val(),
PhoneNumber: $("#clientPhoneNumber").val()
};
return dataToSubmit;
}
});
</script>
After clicking the "Save" button on my modal form, it redirects to http://localhost:6969/Client/UpdateClientDetails/1234 with the following string:
{"Address1":"38 Lesmill Rd","Address2":"Suite 1",
"City":"Toronto","Province":"ON","PostalCode":"M3B 2T5",
"PhoneNumber":"(416) 445-4504","Id":2827,"Name":"Advisor Centric"}
If you are being redirected when you click the save function, it could be due to a few reasons. The below snippet should solve your problems.
$(document).on('click', '.btn-primary', function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
data: getModelData(),
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
$("#Address1").text(data.Address1);
$("#Address2").text(data.Address2);
$("#City").text(data.City);
$("#Province").text(data.Province);
$("#PostalCode").text(data.PostalCode);
$("#PhoneNumber").text(data.PhoneNumber);
},
error: function () {
alert("Error occurred!");
}
});
function getModelData() {
var dataToSubmit = {
Address1: $("#clientAddress1").val(),
Address2: $("#clientAddress2").val(),
City: $("#clientCity").val(),
Province: $("#clientProvince").val(),
PostalCode: $("#clientPostalCode").val(),
PhoneNumber: $("#clientPhoneNumber").val()
};
return dataToSubmit;
}
});
Changes to snippet explained:
Instead of using the jQuery click method, I have updated this to use the on method. This will allow us to attach an event to the btn-primary class even if it is loaded after the dom has been rendered.
We are now passing in the event object into the method. This allows us to prevent any default behavior that is expected, for example submitting the form traditionally. This is accomplished with the event.preventDefault() method.
