Unlock the Power of Form Validation with Vuetify
Improving User Experience with Form Validation
When it comes to online forms, a seamless user experience is crucial. Unfortunately, many forms fall short when it comes to providing adequate feedback during error-handling. This can lead to frustration and abandonment. By implementing quality form validation, we can significantly enhance the user experience. In this article, we’ll explore how to build a registration form and validate it using Vuetify, a popular material design component framework for Vue.js.
Getting Started with Vue.js and Vuetify
To begin, let’s create a new Vue.js project using Vue CLI. If you don’t have Vue CLI installed, simply run the following command: npm install -g @vue/cli. Once installed, create a new project by running vue create vuetify-form-validation. Choose the default preset to get started.
Next, add Vuetify to your project by running vue add vuetify and selecting the default preset.
Building the Registration Form Interface
Our registration form will consist of five fields: First Name, Last Name, Email, Password, and Re-type Password. We’ll use Vuetify’s grid components to divide the page into two columns. Create a new file called RegistrationForm.vue and add the following code:
<template>
<v-container fluid>
<v-row>
<v-col cols="6" class="purple" style="height: 100vh;">
<h1>Registration Form</h1>
</v-col>
<v-col cols="6" class="text-center" style="height: 100vh;">
<h1>Register Now!</h1>
<p>Please fill out the form below.</p>
<!-- Form fields will go here -->
</v-col>
</v-row>
</v-container>
</template>
Implementing Form Validation
Now, let’s add our form fields and implement validation using Vuetify’s v-form component. Add the following code inside the right column:
“`
“`
Validating Form Fields
Next, we’ll define our validation rules for each field. In the script tag, add the following code:
export default {
data() {
return {
firstName: '',
lastName: '',
email: '',
password: '',
terms: false,
nameRules: [v =>!!v || 'Name is required'],
emailRules: [v => /.+@.+\..+/.test(v) || 'Invalid email'],
passwordRules: [
v =>!!v || 'Password is required',
v => /(?=.*[a-z])/.test(v) || 'Must contain lowercase letter',
v => /(?=.*[A-Z])/.test(v) || 'Must contain uppercase letter',
v => /(?=.*\d)/.test(v) || 'Must contain number',
v => /(?=.*[!@#$%^&*()])/.test(v) || 'Must contain special character'
],
termsRules: [v =>!!v || 'Terms must be accepted']
}
},
methods: {
submitForm() {
this.$refs.form.validate()
}
}
}
The Power of Vuetify Form Validation
