Custom Form Validation

[adeelhussain]

Current Behavior

Right now we don't have any way of validating form, e.g i want to send data to my CRM which have some requirements for specific fields. Lets say we want to select email field to specific input but if have select invalid value, like date for the email input, then when the data is being sent my record will be break.

Desired Behavior / Feature Request

While mapping input fields with the data, we should be able to add custom validations for specific input.

like this

operation: { inputFields: [ { key: 'email', label: 'Email Address', type: 'string', required: true, helpText: 'Please enter a valid email address.', // Using a regular expression for validation validation: { regex: '^[^@\\s]+@[^@\\s]+\\.[^@\\s]+$', errorMessage: 'Must be a valid email address.' } }, { key: 'zip_code', label: 'ZIP Code', type: 'string', required: true, helpText: 'Enter a 5-digit ZIP Code.', validation: { regex: '^\\d{5}$', errorMessage: 'ZIP Code must be exactly 5 digits.' } } ] }

Instead of providing static regex validation, allow the action's perform method to add error messages to fields, like this:

export {
    display: {
		label: 'New Lead',
		description: 'Triggers when a new lead is created.',
	},

	operation: {
		perform: (z, bundle) => {
			if (!emailIsValid()) {
				throw new z.errors.ValidationError('Given data is invalid', {
					'email': ['Please enter a valid email address.']
				});
			}

			throw new z.errors.ValidationError('Given data is invalid', {
				'array.0.child': ['Please enter a valid email address.'],
				'other_field': ['Multiple', 'Errors'],
			});
		},
	},
}
