```js script
import { html } from '@lion/core';
import { LionInput } from '@lion/input';
import {
Required,
IsString,
MaxLength,
DefaultSuccess,
Validator,
loadDefaultFeedbackMessages,
} from '@lion/validate';
export default {

};
loadDefaultFeedbackMessages();
```
## Features
- allow for advanced UX scenarios by updating validation state on every value change
- provide a powerful way of writing validation via pure functions
- multiple validation types(error, warning, info, success)
- default validators
- custom validators
Our validation system is designed to:
- allow for advanced UX scenarios by updating validation state on every value change
- provide a powerful way of writing validations via classes
Validation is applied by default to all [form controls](../field/docs/FormFundaments.md) via the
ValidateMixin.
For a detailed description of the validation system and the `ValidateMixin`, please see [ValidationSystem](./docs/ValidationSystem.md).
## How to use
### Installation
```bash
npm i --save @lion/validate
```
```js
import '@lion/input/lion-input.js';
import { %ValidatorName% } from '@lion/validate';
```
### Example
> Note that we import an lion-input here as an example of a form control implementing ValidateMixin.
> We could equally well use lion-textarea, lion-select, lion-fieldset etc. to illustrate our example.
```js preview-story
const isInitialsRegex = /^([A-Z]\.)+$/;
class IsInitialsExample extends Validator {
static get validatorName() {
return 'IsExampleInitials';
}
execute(value) {
let hasFeedback = false;
const isStringValidator = new IsString();
if (isStringValidator.execute(value) || !isInitialsRegex.test(value)) {
hasFeedback = true;
}
return hasFeedback;
}
static getMessage({ fieldName }) {
return `Please enter a valid ${fieldName} in the format "L.I.".`;
}
}
class DemoInput extends LionInput {
static get validationTypes() {
return ['error', 'warning', 'success'];
}
}
customElements.define('demo-input', DemoInput);
export const main = () => html`
<demo-input
label="Initials"
name="initials"
.validators="${[
new Required(),
new MaxLength(10),
new IsInitialsExample(null, { type: 'warning' }),
new DefaultSuccess(),
]}"
></demo-input>
`;
```
In the example above we use different types of validators.
A validator applied to `.validators` expects an array with a function, a parameters object and
optionally an additional configuration object.
```js
MinMaxLength({ min: 5, max: 10 });
```
The custom `IsInitialsExample` checks if the value is fitting our regex, but does not prevent the user from submitting other values.
Retrieving validity states is as easy as checking for:
```js
myInitialsInput.hasFeedbackFor.include('error');
```
