Manually set unobtrusive validation error on a tex

问题:

I'm doing something similar to the remote validation, except that I already make my calls manually via jquery and setup whatever I had to setup.

Now my problem is, if I want to tell the validator that a particular textbox is not valid (and prevents the page from submitting, highlight the textbox, etc). How would I do this from code?

@Html.LabelFor(m => Model.Slug)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => Model.Slug)
<span id="UrlMsg" class="field-validation-error" style="display: none;"></span>

 if (error) {
        $('#UrlMsg').html('This name is already in use.').fadeIn('fast');
        //what should I do here for the rest of the validation?
 }

回答1:

First, you can add a validation summary:

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Slug)

Then you can manually trigger jQuery validation / unobtrusive validation with the .showError method. Here is a sample:

var errorArray = {};
errorArray["Slug"] = 'Some error message for the Slug text box';
$('#SomeFormId').validate().showErrors(errorArray);

You can also do:

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Slug)

With this function in your code:

function setError(id, message) {
        var span = $("span[data-valmsg-for=\"" + id + "\"]");
        if (span && span.length > 0) {
            $(span).html(message);
            if (message && message != "") {
                $(span).removeClass("field-validation-valid");
                $(span).addClass("field-validation-no-valid");
            } else {
                $(span).removeClass("field-validation-no-valid");
                $(span).addClass("field-validation-valid");
            }
        }
    }

Then can set the error

setError("Slug", "errorMsg");

Using showErrors did not allow the error to persist, so that running .valid() cleared the error. Instead, I added a "forcibleerror" rule and a javascript method to set the message.

function forceError(element, errorMessage) {
    $(element).rules("add", {
        forcibleerror: true,
        messages: {
            forcibleerror: function () { return errorMessage; }
        }
    });
    var isForced = false;
    if (errorMessage) {
        isForced = true;
    }
    $(element)[0].dataset.isForced = isForced;
    $(element).valid();
}
$.validator.addMethod("forcibleerror", function (value, element) {
    return $(element)[0].dataset.isForced !== "true";
});

Usage:

forceError($('#Slug'), 'my custom message');

To put it back in a valid state:

forceError($('#Slug'), '');

This is an improvement on FRL's answer:

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Slug)

JS Function

function setError(name, message) {
    const span = $(`span[data-valmsg-for="${name}"]`);
    if (span && span.length > 0) {
        $(span).html(message);
        if (message) {
            $(`input[name="${name}"]`).addClass("input-validation-error");
            $(span).removeClass("field-validation-valid");
            $(span).addClass("field-validation-error");
        } else {
            $(`input[name="${name}"]`).removeClass("input-validation-error");
            $(span).removeClass("field-validation-error");
            $(span).addClass("field-validation-valid");
        }
    }
}

Call it

setError("Slug", "errorMsg");
