Task: Build a Configurable Input Field Validation Framework

Description

Our page-building and website-building configurable components now support data capture. This breakthrough enables components originally in HTML (converted to React) with input fields to:

• Accept JSON configurations to render components dynamically.
• Manage changes in input field data seamlessly.
• Handle click events on CTAs effectively.

This advancement is powered by the EventHandlerContext, which translates a component's input handlers config into executable functions. This is a significant milestone, and congratulations are in order for everyone involved. 👏

Next Challenge

We now need to take this to the next level: input data validation.
The goal is to build a Validation Framework that:

1. Validates Data: Captures and validates user input in real-time or on form submission.
2. Configurable Validation: Provides a configuration API that allows users (those creating JSON configs) to select and define validation types for each input field.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Core Validation Features

   • Implement standard validations, such as:
     • Required field.
     • Email format.
     • Number range.
     • String length (min/max).
     • Regex pattern matching.
   • Ensure validations are extensible for future requirements.

2. Configurable API

   • Create an intuitive API for developers to define validation rules in JSON format, e.g.:

     {
       "field": "email",
       "type": "text",
       "validations": [
         { "rule": "required", "message": "Email is required" },
         { "rule": "email", "message": "Enter a valid email address" }
       ]
     }

   • Support chaining multiple validation rules per field.

3. Real-Time Feedback

   • Provide instant feedback to users on invalid input (e.g., inline error messages or field highlights).

4. Integration with Existing System

   • Ensure the framework integrates smoothly with the EventHandlerContext.
   • Validate input fields without disrupting current data capture and change handling.

5. Testing & Documentation

   • Unit tests for each validation type.
   • Comprehensive examples and documentation for using the validation framework in component configs.

Deliverables

1. A fully functional, configurable validation framework for input fields.
2. Integration with the current EventHandlerContext and component builder system.
3. Documentation and sample configurations to showcase how the framework works.
