FormGuard v1.0

A powerful, customizable, quick and easy jQuery plugin to validate your forms.

Usage

Ensure you have both the jQuery Core and the script integrated.

	<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/FormGuard.js"></script>

Activate FormGuard

	<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function(){
   		   $("form.formguard").formguard();
		});
	</script>

Set your validators.

	<input type="text" data-validate="required" placeholder="Must be filled." />
	<input type="text" data-validate="email" placeholder="Must be a valid email address." />
	
	<input type="text" name="password" data-validate="required match[passwordconfirm] min[6]" />
	<input type="text" name="passwordconfirm" data-validate="required match[password]" />

Validators

Apply your validators in data-validate="" attribute. You can combine them however you like. For example data-validate="required number min[7]" validates a required number with at least seven digits.

key	description
required	Field must be filled or checkbox must be checked.
min[X]	Fields value must contains at least X characters.
max[X]	Fields value may not exceed X characters.
email	Fields value must be a valid email address.
number	Fields value must be a valid number.
match[name]	Fields value must match the value of the given fields value. For usage look at the given example (password & passwordconfirm).

Validators list will be continuously updated…
