Allow field-specific custom messages. #29
Conversation
Override message with specific text for a particular field. For example instead of "Please lengthen this text to 50 characters or more. ..." you might want "You'll never get the job with a resume less than 50 characters long." Works for **all** validation errors. The current behavior of `data-bouncer-message` is preserved - it only effects `patternMismatch` errors. But if you specify a JSON object that looks like the messages array you can override any of the validation messages. Also made it so you can set `outOfRange` or `wrongLength` to a single string if you want the same message for both edge cases. This works in both `settings.messages` and `data-bouncer-message`.

This is an interesting one. Let me sit on it for a little bit. |
After further review, I think I prefer individual attributes to using JSON. * In most cases you only want to change one of the messages. * While not uncommon, JSON for attribute values feels like a bad mix of markup and code. * In my particular case it is easier to manage as a single attribute rather than JSON.

Having custom messages for all types of validation errors would be very useful for me too. |

Hi, Actually, the ability to configure custom error message per [ field + constraint-type ] (instead of only per [ constraint-type ] ) It includes 2 example use cases, the 1st one being in reply to @tbb2 request #29 (comment) |
