Field validation

This module adds an extra tab to each field instance, allowing you to specify validation rules for your field instances.

The following validators are currently included (7.x-2.x):

• Regular expression
• Numeric values (optionally specify min and / or max value)
• length (optionally specify min and / or max length)
• number of words (optionally specify min and / or max words )
• Plain text (disallow tags)
• Must be empty (Anti-Spam: Hide with CSS)
• Words blacklist
• number of selections (optionally specify min and / or max selections )
• Unique
• Match against a field
• Match against a property
• Specific value(s)
• Require at least one of several fields
• Equal values on multiple fields
• Unique values on multiple fields
• PHP Code (powerfull but dangerous)
• URL (support internal path and external url validation)
• Email
• Pattern (Regular expression lite)
• Date range2

Following validators are included in sub module field validation extras:

• Color(HTML5)
• Date(ISO)
• EAN number
• Field collection unique
• Integer values
• IP Address
• Numeric(HTML5, with the option to specify min/max/step)
• Regular expression (Perl-Compatible)
• Phone
• Required field
• Require some of several fields
• Postal code(depend on Postal Code Validation, support Address Field)

Since 7.x-2.1, we add another sub module property validation which could solve validation issues for property(non-field), such as title, Ubercat SKU, list_price.

Drupal8:

1, first make sure that the Field validation ruleset machine name using following pattern:
"Your Entity type" + '_' + "bundle", for example:
Entity type:node
bundle:article
So the Field validation ruleset machine name must be:
node_article

2, column is "value" or 'target_id' or ...

the UI will be improved in the future, use selection instead of input.

3, there are only a few validation rules:
Email,Regex,Length,Must be Empty, Unique, date range, blacklist, words count, integer, Ip, numeric, phone, plain text .

we will add more in the future.

Requirements

• Ctools
