yii2 Validation Disable Validation Error Message On Focus / Key Up
Example
By default error message appears below textbox in <div class="help-block"></div> on keyUp or after pressing submit button if any validation constraints aren't met.
Sometimes we want a message on submit only i.e. no validation at onKeyup event.
Let's check yii2/widgets/ActiveForm.php file:
<?php
namespace yii\widgets;
use Yii;
use yii\base\InvalidCallException;
use yii\base\Widget;
use yii\base\Model;
use yii\helpers\ArrayHelper;
use yii\helpers\Url;
use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\helpers\Json;
class ActiveForm extends Widget
{
public $action = '';
public $method = 'post';
public $options = [];
.
.
.
public $validateOnSubmit = true;
public $validateOnChange = true;
public $validateOnBlur = true;
public $validateOnType = false;
.
.
.
}
There we see that $validateOnBlur is set to true by default. Changing framework files is a very bad thing to do so we need to override it when using the form:
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([ 'id' => 'register-form','validateOnBlur' => false]); ?>
