Form Validators 1.0 for Feathers UI

September 15, 2022

Josh Tynjala

Today, I'm happy to introduce version 1.0 of the new feathersui-validators open source project, which is a port of the form validation classes from Apache Flex (formerly Adobe Flex) to Feathers UI, Haxe and OpenFL.

This is the newest of multiple projects that I'll be releasing as part of the Feathers UI v1.0 release week celebration.

The following validator classes are included in the library:

  • CreditCardValidator verifies Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, and Diner's Card numbers.
  • CurrencyValidator validates the formatting of a numeric monetary value, including the currency symbol (such as $ or €) and appropriate precision for things like cents/pence.
  • DateValidator validates a date value, including month, day, and year, to ensure that all parts are in the correct ranges and the specified formatting order.
  • EmailValidator validates an email address.
  • NumberValidator validates a numeric value, including support for thousands separator, decimal separator, precision, and negative values.
  • PhoneNumberValidator validates 10 digit phone numbers, including formatting characters.
  • RegExpValidator is the most versitile, allowing the custom validation using regular expressions.
  • SocialSecurityValidator validates the formatting of a US social security number.
  • StringValidator ensures that a string meets minium and maximum length requirements.
  • ZipCodeValidator validates US and Canadian postal codes (and it can optionally allow both at the same time).

All validators have the option to make a value required, or to optionally allow an empty value.
