umbraco-forms-validator's Issues

Text based validation rules

Introduce new TextValidationRule for all text based validation rules.
Would only require a TextValidationSetting which has child types.

The TextValidationSetting would have a Value/Text field and no Expected Data Type

Move the existing RegEx based rule to be based on this.

Change validator rule picker size

Update the infinite editor to be a medium sized editor with the form-horizontal class applied to horizontally align the label / description

Write up documentation

Need to have the README reflect:

• Installing
• Usage
• Extending
• Feedback

For each built in validation rule / setting document a simple purpose and usage for each.

In-repository documentation on how to extend the solution:

• Create custom validation rules
• Create custom validation settings
• What is the validation collector
• What is the value provider

Implement data type picker

To allow comparison between values and fields we should introduce a way to select the data type you're expecting in the Rule Picker which corresponds to a class in the backend which converts values and performs the Compare on IComparable.

Useful for both FieldValue and FieldComparison rule types.

Allow reordering of validation rules

The validation rules should execute in sequence based on an order. This will allow the stop processing to make sense and directly affected by the order.

Tasks:

• On the Validator settings content app, allow the user to reorder the rules
• Store the ordering for settings
• Sort the validation rules when executing to

Add in unit testing for all validation rules

Test all validation rules / settings to ensure they operate as expected

Retrieve existing validator rules

When Form loads (also when refreshed after save), retrieve existing validator rules for the form

Persist validation rules on form save

When the Umbraco Form is saved stored the associated Validator Rules / Settings in the database

Test following cases:

• Form is new (no GUID, until save)
• Form exists

Allow custom validation setting field types

Out of scope

Allow extensions of the plug-in to create custom pickers / use custom pickers for validation setting fields.

Example:

• Range control for selecting range validation value needs to fit in
• Content or Member pickers - to validate selected data in a submitted form?

Add in grouping for rules

Allow the rules to be grouped in the Rule Picker by their respective types:

• Form
• Field Value
• Field Comparison
• Text?
• Required?
