Dynamically change error messages in Kendo UI validator? - kendo-ui

Question

think I have a 2 text fields. Can I change there error messages according to text fields.
Here is a example.
1st text box is a email field and it is required field.
So I keep it a error messages in a array :
["this field is required", "enter a valid e mail"]
2 text box is required field.
Its error message :
["enter a valid value in the field"]
but in kendo ui validator like this ...
var validator = $("#formID").kendoValidator(
{ messages : {
required : "this field is required",
email : "enter a valid email address"
}
}).data("kendoValidator");
How I change these values dynamically according to the text fields error messages??

Answer 1

you can create function for both required and email to customize error messages according to html input fields.
<form id="myform">
<input name="username" required /> <br />
<input type="email" name="userEmail" required data-message="My custom email message" /> <br />
<button>Validate</button>
</form>
Script section:
<script>
$("#myform").kendoValidator({
messages: {
// defines a message for the 'custom' validation rule
custom: "Please enter valid value for my custom rule",
// overrides the built-in message for the required rule
required: function(input) {
return getRequiredMessage(input);
},
// overrides the built-in message for the email rule
// with a custom function that returns the actual message
email: function(input) {
return getMessage(input);
}
},
rules: {
custom: function(input) {
if (input.is("[name=username]")) {
return input.val() === "Tom";
}
return true;
}
}
});
function getMessage(input) {
return input.data("message");
}
function getRequiredMessage(input) {
if (input.is("[name=username]")) {
return "User name is required";
}
else
return input.attr("name") + " Field is Required";
}
</script>
Jsfiddle
Here in getRequiredMessage function i customized error message based on input name.
I provided "User name is required" for input username. you can provide the error message even from array if you wish.
