I want to be able to put a maximum length for the phone number entered and don't allow any characters too. However, with the format below it does limit the person to enter 10 characters but it also allows any other character to be added too.
Now if I change type to type="number" maxLength will not work and also characters such as [minus(-) or plus(+)] will still go through.
How can I make my input to be only limited to a maximum of 10 numbers and don't allow any characters?
<input
placeholder="Telephone Number"
className="input_fields telephone_no"
type="tel"
maxLength={"10"}
name="phoneNumber"
id="teacher_telephone_no"
value={this.state.user.phoneNumber}
onChange={e =>
this.setState({
user: {
...this.state.user,
[e.target.name]: e.target.value
}
})
}
/>
You can use regex to test your input before setting the state, as:
<input
placeholder="Telephone Number"
className="input_fields telephone_no"
type="tel"
maxLength={"10"}
name="phoneNumber"
id="teacher_telephone_no"
value={user}
onChange={(e) => {
if (/^[0-9]{1,10}$/.test(e.target.value)) {
this.setState({
user: {
...this.state.user,
[e.target.name]: e.target.value
}
})
}
}}
/>
You could use regular expression and keyup event to prevent symbol from typing .
let input = document.querySelector('input')
input.onkeyup = function() {
input.value = input.value.replace(/[^\d]/, "")
}
<input placeholder="Telephone Number" className="input_fields telephone_no" type="tel" maxLength={ "10"} name="phoneNumber" id="teacher_telephone_no" />
I have an input to define minimum and maximum prices of products.
When I write 10.000, there seems 10000. So, I want to add point to numbers automaticly and show it like 10.000.
I tried these:
<input type="number" step="0.01">
<input type="number" step=".01">
<input type="number" step="any">
But they ain't work at any all.
Here's an option using a text field that forces numeric input
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
document.querySelectorAll('input.numeric').forEach(el => el.addEventListener('input', e => {
let n = e.target.value.replaceAll(/[^0-9]/g, '').replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ".")
e.target.value = n;
}))
})
<input type="text" class='numeric'>
Hopefully this helps.
document.querySelector("input")
.addEventListener("change", e => {
e.target.value = parseFloat(e.target.value)
.toFixed(3);
});
<input type="number" value="0.000" step="0.001">
I captured an element with the useRef hook of React.
if I use console.log(this.inputRef) I get:
<input aria-invalid="false" autocomplete="off" class="MuiInputBase-input-409 MuiInput-input-394" placeholder="Type ItemCode or scan barcode" type="text" value="2">
Is there a way to change the value of that element using this.inputRef? and then force its re-render?
It sounds like what you are looking for is the ImperativeHandle hook.
From React docs:
useImperativeHandle customizes the instance value that is exposed to parent components when using ref
The below code should work for you:
function ValueInput(props, ref) {
const inputRef = useRef();
useImperativeHandle(ref, () => ({
changeValue: (newValue) => {
inputRef.current.value = newValue;
}
}));
return <input ref={inputRef} aria-invalid="false" autocomplete="off" class="MuiInputBase-input-409 MuiInput-input-394" placeholder="Type ItemCode or scan barcode" type="text" value="2">
}
ValueInput = forwardRef(ValueInput);
Documentation: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#useimperativehandle
well, you could do:
<input ref={myRef} value={myRef.current.value} />
The only problem with that is that refs DO NOT update or reredender the component, so, the value would never update... rather than that it could throw you an error where you are attempting to make an uncontrolled input as controlled
may be this can help
return(
<input type="text" ref={inptRef} />
<button onClick={()=>inptRef.current.value = ""}>clear input</button>
)
I have 2 input type number fields and I'm trying to set the second field value(num2) conditionally based on the first one's(num1) value.
<input ref="num1" type="number" min="1" max="7" defaultValue={6}/>
<input ref="num2" type="number" min="0" max={this.refs.num1 === 7 ? 0 : 10} defaultValue={10}/>
I've tried the above ternary operator to set value 0 if num1's value is equal to 7. The default value for num1 is 6 and when I stepup to 7, there is no different I can see in num2.
Please help me fix this.
Try validating by using onChange event in the input
<input onChange={this.onChange} />
And create a method onChange with womthing like:
onChange(e) {
let value = e.target.value;
return validation;
}
I'm not sure if I understand what you want, but you can try something like this :
class Test extends React.Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
num1: null
}
}
onChange(num, e){
this.setState({num1: e.target.value});
}
render(){
return(
<div>
<input type="number" min="1" max="7" defaultValue={6} value={this.state.num1} onChange={this.onChange.bind(this, "num1")}/>
<input type="number" min="0" max={10} value={this.state.num1 == 7 ? 10 : 0} />
</div>
);
}
}
React.render(<Test />, document.getElementById('container'));
Add state to your component and then change the value of the first input via an onChange function.
Then depending on that value show value of the second input.
Here is a fiddle.
I've got the following HTML form: http://jsfiddle.net/nfgfP/
<form id="form" onsubmit="return(login())">
<input name="username" placeholder="Username" required />
<input name="pass" type="password" placeholder="Password" required/>
<br/>Remember me: <input type="checkbox" name="remember" value="true" /><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Log In"/>
Currently when I hit enter when they're both blank, a popup box appears saying "Please fill out this field". How would I change that default message to "This field cannot be left blank"?
The type password field's error message is simply *****. To recreate this give the username a value and hit submit.
Here is some code to display a custom error message:
<input type="text" id="username" required placeholder="Enter Name"
oninvalid="ths.setCustomValidity('Enter User Name Here')"
oninput="setCustomValidity('')"/>
This part is important because it hides the error message when the user inputs new data:
oninput="setCustomValidity('')"
Note: the this keyword is not required for inline event handlers, but you may want to use it anyway for consistency.
Use setCustomValidity:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].oninvalid = function(e) {
e.target.setCustomValidity("");
if (!e.target.validity.valid) {
e.target.setCustomValidity("This field cannot be left blank");
}
};
elements[i].oninput = function(e) {
e.target.setCustomValidity("");
};
}
})
I changed to vanilla JavaScript from Mootools as suggested by #itpastorn in the comments, but you should be able to work out the Mootools equivalent if necessary.
If setCustomValidity is set to anything other than the empty string it will cause the field to be considered invalid; therefore you must clear it before testing validity, you can't just set it and forget.
As pointed out in #thomasvdb's comment below, you need to clear the custom validity in some event outside of invalid otherwise there may be an extra pass through the oninvalid handler to clear it.
It's very simple to control custom messages with the help of HTML5 event oninvalid
Here is code:
<input id="UserID" type="text" required="required"
oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Witinnovation')"
onvalid="this.setCustomValidity('')">
This is most important:
onvalid="this.setCustomValidity('')"
Note: This no longer works in Chrome, not tested in other browsers. See edits below. This answer is being left here for historical reference.
If you feel that the validation string really should not be set by code, you can set you input element's title attribute to read "This field cannot be left blank". (Works in Chrome 10)
title="This field should not be left blank."
See http://jsfiddle.net/kaleb/nfgfP/8/
And in Firefox, you can add this attribute:
x-moz-errormessage="This field should not be left blank."
Edit
This seems to have changed since I originally wrote this answer. Now adding a title does not change the validity message, it just adds an addendum to the message. The fiddle above still applies.
Edit 2
Chrome now does nothing with the title attribute as of Chrome 51. I am not sure in which version this changed.
It's very simple to control custom messages with the help of the HTML5 oninvalid event
Here is the code:
User ID
<input id="UserID" type="text" required
oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('User ID is a must')">
By setting and unsetting the setCustomValidity in the right time, the validation message will work flawlessly.
<input name="Username" required
oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Username cannot be empty.')"
onchange="this.setCustomValidity('')" type="text" />
I used onchange instead of oninput which is more general and occurs when the value is changed in any condition even through JavaScript.
I have made a small library to ease changing and translating the error messages. You can even change the texts by error type which is currently not available using title in Chrome or x-moz-errormessage in Firefox. Go check it out on GitHub, and give feedback.
It's used like:
<input type="email" required data-errormessage-value-missing="Please input something">
There's a demo available at jsFiddle.
Try this one, its better and tested:
function InvalidMsg(textbox) {
if (textbox.value === '') {
textbox.setCustomValidity('Required email address');
} else if (textbox.validity.typeMismatch){
textbox.setCustomValidity('please enter a valid email address');
} else {
textbox.setCustomValidity('');
}
return true;
}
<form id="myform">
<input id="email"
oninvalid="InvalidMsg(this);"
oninput="InvalidMsg(this);"
name="email"
type="email"
required="required" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/patelriki13/Sqq8e/
The easiest and cleanest way I've found is to use a data attribute to store your custom error. Test the node for validity and handle the error by using some custom html.
le javascript
if(node.validity.patternMismatch)
{
message = node.dataset.patternError;
}
and some super HTML5
<input type="text" id="city" name="city" data-pattern-error="Please use only letters for your city." pattern="[A-z ']*" required>
The solution for preventing Google Chrome error messages on input each symbol:
<p>Click the 'Submit' button with empty input field and you will see the custom error message. Then put "-" sign in the same input field.</p>
<form method="post" action="#">
<label for="text_number_1">Here you will see browser's error validation message on input:</label><br>
<input id="test_number_1" type="number" min="0" required="true"
oninput="this.setCustomValidity('')"
oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('This is my custom message.')"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
<form method="post" action="#">
<p></p>
<label for="text_number_1">Here you will see no error messages on input:</label><br>
<input id="test_number_2" type="number" min="0" required="true"
oninput="(function(e){e.setCustomValidity(''); return !e.validity.valid && e.setCustomValidity(' ')})(this)"
oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('This is my custom message.')"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
I have a simpler vanilla js only solution:
For checkboxes:
document.getElementById("id").oninvalid = function () {
this.setCustomValidity(this.checked ? '' : 'My message');
};
For inputs:
document.getElementById("id").oninvalid = function () {
this.setCustomValidity(this.value ? '' : 'My message');
};
Okay, oninvalid works well but it shows error even if user entered valid data. So I have used below to tackle it, hope it will work for you as well,
oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Your custom message.')" onkeyup="setCustomValidity('')"
If your error message is a single one, then try below.
<input oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('my error message')"
oninput="this.setCustomValidity('')"> <!-- 👈 don't forget it. -->
To handle multiple errors, try below
<input oninput="this.setCustomValidity('')">
<script>
inputElem.addEventListener("invalid", ()=>{
if (inputElem.validity.patternMismatch) {
return inputElem.setCustomValidity('my error message')
}
return inputElem.setCustomValidity('') // default message
})
</script>
Example
You can test valueMissing and valueMissing.
<form>
<input pattern="[^\\/:\x22*?<>|]+"
placeholder="input file name"
oninput="this.setCustomValidity('')"
required
>
<input type="submit">
</form>
<script>
const form = document.querySelector("form")
const inputElem = document.querySelector(`input`)
inputElem.addEventListener("invalid", ()=>{
if (inputElem.validity.patternMismatch) {
return inputElem.setCustomValidity('Illegal Filename Characters \\/:\x22?<>|')
}
return inputElem.setCustomValidity('') // return default message according inputElem.validity.{badInput, customError, tooLong, valueMissing ...}
})
form.onsubmit = () => {
return false
}
</script>
ValidityState
const username= document.querySelector('#username');
const submit=document.querySelector('#submit');
submit.addEventListener('click',()=>{
if(username.validity.typeMismatch){
username.setCustomValidity('Please enter User Name');
}else{
username.setCustomValidity('');
}
if(pass.validity.typeMismatch){
pass.setCustomValidity('Please enter Password');
}else{
pass.setCustomValidity('');
}
})
Adapting Salar's answer to JSX and React, I noticed that React Select doesn't behave just like an <input/> field regarding validation. Apparently, several workarounds are needed to show only the custom message and to keep it from showing at inconvenient times.
I've raised an issue here, if it helps anything. Here is a CodeSandbox with a working example, and the most important code there is reproduced here:
Hello.js
import React, { Component } from "react";
import SelectValid from "./SelectValid";
export default class Hello extends Component {
render() {
return (
<form>
<SelectValid placeholder="this one is optional" />
<SelectValid placeholder="this one is required" required />
<input
required
defaultValue="foo"
onChange={e => e.target.setCustomValidity("")}
onInvalid={e => e.target.setCustomValidity("foo")}
/>
<button>button</button>
</form>
);
}
}
SelectValid.js
import React, { Component } from "react";
import Select from "react-select";
import "react-select/dist/react-select.css";
export default class SelectValid extends Component {
render() {
this.required = !this.props.required
? false
: this.state && this.state.value ? false : true;
let inputProps = undefined;
let onInputChange = undefined;
if (this.props.required) {
inputProps = {
onInvalid: e => e.target.setCustomValidity(this.required ? "foo" : "")
};
onInputChange = value => {
this.selectComponent.input.input.setCustomValidity(
value
? ""
: this.required
? "foo"
: this.selectComponent.props.value ? "" : "foo"
);
return value;
};
}
return (
<Select
onChange={value => {
this.required = !this.props.required ? false : value ? false : true;
let state = this && this.state ? this.state : { value: null };
state.value = value;
this.setState(state);
if (this.props.onChange) {
this.props.onChange();
}
}}
value={this && this.state ? this.state.value : null}
options={[{ label: "yes", value: 1 }, { label: "no", value: 0 }]}
placeholder={this.props.placeholder}
required={this.required}
clearable
searchable
inputProps={inputProps}
ref={input => (this.selectComponent = input)}
onInputChange={onInputChange}
/>
);
}
}
For a totaly custom check logic:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#form').on('submit', function(e) {
if ($('#customCheck').val() != 'apple') {
$('#customCheck')[0].setCustomValidity('Custom error here! "apple" is the magic word');
$('#customCheck')[0].reportValidity();
e.preventDefault();
}
});
$('#customCheck').on('input', function() {
$('#customCheck')[0].setCustomValidity('');
});
});
input {
display: block;
margin-top: 15px;
}
input[type="text"] {
min-width: 250px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="form">
<input type="text" placeholder="dafault check with 'required' TAG" required/>
<input type="text" placeholder="custom check for word 'apple'" id="customCheck" />
<input type="submit">
</form>
Can be easily handled by just putting 'title' with the field:
<input type="text" id="username" required title="This field can not be empty" />
