5 Best Ways To jQuery Validation in MVC 5 and Examples

How to validate a form in jQuery?

The basic steps as,

2. Download and link to thejQuery Validation plugin.

/* Fire Required Valaidate */
$(function(){
   $("#frmEditUser").validate({
      rules: {
         name: {
            required: true
               }
         },
         messages: {
            name: "Required Field."
         }
     });
});

Here is what the validation code might look like if you have a form with your input fields FirstName and LastName as I motions in below example and you makes sure that the names of your input fields match your jQuery below example.

Your form ID needs to match the ID called to validate in the first line of the above jQuery example i.e. #frmEditUser.

This is for JQuery.Validate adding dynamic rules with messages with example

//HTML CODE
<form id="frmEditUser" class="color-text">
    <input type="text" name="FirstName" />
    <br/>
    <input type="text" name="LastName" />
    <br/>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

<!-- Load jQuery and jQuery-Validate scripts -->
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-validate.js"></script>

//jQuery CODE
$(document).ready(function () {
   //#region THIS METHOD IS USED TO VALIDATE USER DETAIL AND SERVICES.
    $('#frmEditUser').validate({ // initialize the plugin
        rules: {
            FirstName: {
                required: true
            },
            LastName: {
                required: true
            }
        },
        messages: {
            FirstName: {
                required: "Enter First Name."
            },
            LastName: {
                required: "Enter Last Name."
            }
        }
    });
    //#endregion
});

//CSS CODE
.color-text{
  color:red;
}
