We’ve just wrapped up a great series of posts from Chris Ferdinandi on modern form validation. It starts here. These days, browsers have quite a few built-in tools for handling form validation including HTML attributes that can do quite a bit on their own, and a JavaScript API that can do even more. Chris even sh...
Over the last few articles in this series, we’ve learned how to use a handful of input types and validation attributes to natively validate forms. We’ve learned how to use the Constraint Validation API to enhance the native browser validation process for a better overall user experience. And we wrote a poly...
In the last article in this series, we built a lightweight script (6kb, 2.7kb minified) using the Validity State API to enhance the native form validation experience. It works in all modern browsers and provides support IE support back to IE10. But, there are some browser gotchas. Not every browser supports every Valid...

In the previous article of this series we’ve started our dive into the Entity Validation and Typed Data APIs. We’ve seen how DataType plugins interact with data definitions and how various constraints can be added to the latter at multiple levels and extension points.In this part, we will cover the aspect of actu...
