Custom jQuery validation rules

Posted by admin on Mar 23, 2012 in jQuery | 0 comments

I made some custom jQuery validation rules.

You can see my form here:
The name is the callback to the function of your custom jQuery validation rule.

$("#form").validate({
	rules:{
		fieldname: {
			POSTCODE : true,
			TELEFOON : true,
			elfproef : true
		}
	}
});

The fist custom jQuery validation rule:

You always start with

$.validator.addMethod("Name here"m function(value, element) {
	//Your rule
}, "Validation message");

we used the name TELEFOON to check dutch telephone numbers.
It returns true so you can say in the form TELEFOON : true
If the value of the element passes the reg test it returns true

//----- ### CUSTOM VALIDATION RULES ----//
$.validator.addMethod("TELEFOON", function(value, element) {
	return this.optional(element) || /^((\d{4}-\d{6})|(\d{10}))$/i.test(value);
}, "Vul een geldig telefoon nummer in.");

The second jQuery validation rule is for zip codes in holland.

It will check for zipcodes as 4 numbers with 2 letter with or without a -
like: 1234AB or 1234-AB it works the same as the Telephone check

$.validator.addMethod("POSTCODE", function(value, element) {
	return this.optional(element) || /^\d{4}[\s-]?[a-zA-Z]{2}$/i.test(value);
}, "Vul een geldig postcode.");

The last method is for dutch back account numbers.

It the so called elfproef.
Thats a way to check if its a valid number.
They way to check account numbers is described here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit
If it succeeds it will return true else it will return false.

$.validator.addMethod("elfproef", function(value, element) {
	var sum=0;
	for (i=1; i<10; i++) {
		amount=value.charAt(i-1);
		sum+=amount*(10-i);
	}
	if (sum % 11==0 && value.length==9) {
		return true
	} else {
		return false
	}
}, "Vul hier een geldige bankrekeningnummer in.");
