Jquery Validate - List of Classes

Question

This may be a very stupid question but i am looking for a list of the inline validation rules for the jquery form validator.

I know that i can find the js functions here:

but i am looking for a list of the simple inline classes like

email, url, phone, etc., and learn how to use them. I am just looking for a simple list. Thank you.

Solution 1

Looking at the source, I believe these are the only rules that can be used simply by adding classes:

• required
• email
• url
• date
• dateISO
• number
• digits
• creditcard

As for how to use them, just add them into the class attribute of your input:

<input type='text' class='required creditcard' name='credit-card' />

You'll have to define other rules in the object you pass to validate.

So is there a way to define these validations in the call but by class not field name?

@user982853: I'm not sure what you mean--If you want to define rules in the validate call you must use field names. Additionally, if you apply the class rules to elements, they must have a name to be validated correctly.

Been looking for a list like this one for the last 2 days. Thanks!
