Usage
vee-validate offers two styles to integrate form validation into your Vue.js apps.
Composition API
The fastest way to create a form and manage its validation, behavior, and values is with the composition API.
Create your form with useForm and then use defineField to create your field model and props/attributes and handleSubmit to use the values and send them to an API.
<script setup>
import { useForm } from 'vee-validate';
// Validation, or use `yup` or `zod`
function required(value) {
return value ? true : 'This field is required';
}
// Create the form
const { defineField, handleSubmit, errors } = useForm({
validationSchema: {
field: required,
},
});
// Define fields
const [field, fieldProps] = defineField('field');
// Submit handler
const onSubmit = handleSubmit(values => {
// Submit to API
console.log(values);
});
</script>
<template>
<form @submit="onSubmit">
<input v-model="field" v-bind="fieldProps" />
<span>{{ errors.field }}</span>
<button>Submit</button>
</form>
</template>
You can do so much more than this, for more info check the composition API documentation.
Declarative Components
Higher-order components can also be used to build forms. Register the Field and Form components and create a simple required validator:
<script setup>
import { Field, Form } from 'vee-validate';
// Validation, or use `yup` or `zod`
function required(value) {
return value ? true : 'This field is required';
}
// Submit handler
function onSubmit(values) {
// Submit to API
console.log(values);
}
</script>
<template>
<Form v-slot="{ errors }" @submit="onSubmit">
<Field name="field" :rules="required" />
<span>{{ errors.field }}</span>
<button>Submit</button>
</Form>
</template>
The Field component renders an input of type text by default but you can control that
