How can I apply Bootstrap 5 validation to a Razor form?-CodePudding

I have Razor Pages form like this:

    <form id="account" method="post">
        <div asp-validation-summary="ModelOnly" ></div>
        <div >
            <input asp-for="Input.Email"  autocomplete="username" aria-required="true" />
            <label asp-for="Input.Email" ></label>
            <span asp-validation-for="Input.Email" ></span>
        </div>
...

in the output i get the following render:

    <form id="account" method="post">
        <div >
            <input  autocomplete="username" aria-required="true" type="email" data-val="true"
                data-val-email="The Email field is not a valid e-mail address." data-val-required="The Email field is required."
                id="Input_Email" name="Input.Email" value="">
            <label  for="Input_Email">Email</label>
            <span  data-valmsg-for="Input.Email" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span>
        </div>
...

But Bootstrap v5 uses the :invalid and :valid styles applied to form controls. At the same time, data-val- attributes are not taken into account in any way.

Is it possible to seamlessly connect the Bootstrap 5 validation functionality on the client while retaining all the power of customizing the Razor Pages validation model?

After reading the documentation for the ValidityState object and the JS Forms API. And by combining this with Bootstrap Validation, we got the following solution for the following validation properties: valueMissing, typeMismatch (email), tooLong, tooShort. The list is not complete, the solution can be developed to suit your needs.

<script type="text/javascript">
    (() => {
        'use strict'

        function validateControl(c) {
            c.addEventListener('input', (event) => setErrMessage(c));
        }

        function setErrMessage(c) {

            const name = c.getAttribute('name');
            const errMsg = Array.from(c.parentElement
                .querySelectorAll(`[data-valmsg-for="${name}"]`))
                .filter(msg => !!msg.getAttribute('data-valmsg-replace'));

            errMsg.forEach(msg => msg.innerText = '');

            c.required = !!c.getAttribute('aria-required');

            const requiredErrorMessage = c.getAttribute('data-val-required');
            if (requiredErrorMessage && c.validity.valueMissing)
                errMsg.forEach(msg => msg.innerText = requiredErrorMessage);

            const typeMismatchErrorMessage = c.getAttribute('data-val-email');
            if (typeMismatchErrorMessage && c.validity.typeMismatch)
                errMsg.forEach(msg => msg.innerText = typeMismatchErrorMessage);

            const lengthMax = c.getAttribute('data-val-length-max');
            const lengthMin = c.getAttribute('data-val-length-min');
            if (lengthMin)
                c.setAttribute('minlength',  lengthMin)

            const lengthErrorMessage = c.getAttribute('data-val-length');
            if (lengthErrorMessage && (c.validity.tooLong || c.validity.tooShort))
                errMsg.forEach(msg => msg.innerText = lengthErrorMessage);

        }

        // Fetch all the forms we want to apply custom Bootstrap validation styles to
        const forms = document.querySelectorAll('form')
        // Loop over them and prevent submission
        Array.from(forms).forEach(form => {

            form.noValidate = true;

            const controls = form.querySelectorAll('[data-val="true"]');

            Array.from(controls).forEach(validateControl);

            form.addEventListener('submit', event => {

                Array.from(controls).forEach(setErrMessage);

                const isValid = form.checkValidity();

                if (!isValid) {
                    event.preventDefault()
                    event.stopPropagation()
                }

                form.classList.add('was-validated')

            }, false)
        })
    })()
</script>
