ASP.Net Core MVC - Client-side validation for custom attribute

ASP.Net Core MVC - Client-side validation for custom attribute

To implement client-side validation for a custom attribute in ASP.NET Core MVC, you need to create a client-side validation script for the attribute and register it with the IClientModelValidatorProvider service.

Here's an example of how to implement client-side validation for a custom attribute in ASP.NET Core MVC:

  • Create a client-side validation script for the attribute. The script should define a validation function that takes the value of the input element and returns an object that represents the validation result. The object should have a isValid property that indicates whether the value is valid, and a errorMessage property that contains the error message to display if the value is invalid. For example:
$.validator.addMethod("myCustomAttribute", function(value, element, params) { // Perform validation here var isValid = ...; var errorMessage = ...; return { isValid: isValid, errorMessage: errorMessage }; });

In the example code, we define a validation function for a custom attribute called "myCustomAttribute". The function takes the value of the input element, the input element itself, and any parameters for the attribute (if applicable) as arguments. We then perform the validation and return an object with the isValid and errorMessage properties.

  • Register the client-side validation script with the IClientModelValidatorProvider service in the ConfigureServices method of your Startup class. For example:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddMvc() .AddViewOptions(options => { options.ClientModelValidatorProviders.Add(new CustomAttributeClientValidatorProvider()); }); }

In the example code, we add a CustomAttributeClientValidatorProvider object to the ClientModelValidatorProviders list of the ViewOptions object.

  • Implement the IClientModelValidatorProvider interface to return an instance of a IClientModelValidator object for the custom attribute. The IClientModelValidator object should contain the client-side validation script for the attribute. For example:
public class CustomAttributeClientValidatorProvider : IClientModelValidatorProvider { public void CreateValidators(ClientValidatorProviderContext context) { if (context.ModelMetadata.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MyCustomAttribute), false).Any()) { context.Results.Add(new ClientValidatorItem { Validator = "myCustomAttribute", ValidationParameters = new Dictionary<string, object>(), }); } } }

In the example code, we implement the CreateValidators method of the IClientModelValidatorProvider interface to check whether the model property has the MyCustomAttribute attribute. If it does, we add a new ClientValidatorItem object to the Results list of the ClientValidatorProviderContext object. The Validator property of the ClientValidatorItem object is set to the name of the validation function in the client-side validation script.

  • Decorate the model property with the custom attribute. For example:
public class MyViewModel { [MyCustomAttribute] public string MyProperty { get; set; } }

In the example code, we decorate the MyProperty property of the MyViewModel class with the MyCustomAttribute attribute.

With these steps, the client-side validation script for the custom attribute will be included in the HTML output of the view, and will be automatically called by the jQuery Validation plugin when the form is submitted.
