Client Side Field Validations

Feature Request

Currently forms validates data only in the back-end, that is great for security, but I think it should be validated client-side too with JavaScript (Automatically generated based in field type and allows custom validation for each field). This would increase user experience and decrease invalid requests sent to the back-end as well.

    Hey thanks for this! For technical reasons since we use different languages in the back-end and in the front-end, it's much easier for us (and safer for users) to do back-end validation. However, we understand how having client-side validation would offer a better experience. What we could do, would be to pre-validate all the field (still on server side, but seamlessly) as they're filled so that user can directly see potential issues. How does that sound?

      I'll give you an example, I want to validate an entry to see if it's a discord user Id. I'm not really sure on how you would do it, so that'll be up to y'all on how you want to do it.
