Editform validation - Required fields

[Andrew Olowookere]

Hi,

I have a form with 2 fields (Name and address) all both required field in my model. 

On my model I have 5 properties, (ID (Pk), Name , Address, Createdby, and Updatedby), which are all set to required exceptthe primark key ID.

On my Editform I would like to allow just the Name and Address field to be populated, but the createdby and updatedby to be done in my Insert.

How do I get this to valid on my form. I'm getting not valid because of the required rule on the (Createdby and Updatedby) and this comes up when i add validationsummary tag. if i dont add the tag, the textboxes valid, but the submitPerson method does not.

Is there a way to get by this? Please see my code below.

Thanks in advance.

****MY EDITFORM ********

  <EditForm EditContext="@myEditContext" OnSubmit="@SubmitPerson">

            <DataAnnotationsValidator />

            <div class="form-group">

                <label for="NameInput">Name</label>

                <InputText class="form-control" id="NameInput" @bind-Value="Person.Name" />

            </div>

            <div class="form-group">

                <label for="AddressInput">Address</label>

                <InputText class="form-control" id="AddressInput" @bind-Value="Person.Address" />

            </div>

            <div>

                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>

            </div>

            @*<ValidationSummary></ValidationSummary>*@

        </EditForm>

*********** MY CODE ****************

@code { 

    public PersonModel Person = new PersonModel();

    EditContext myEditContext { get; set; }

    private string ValidMEssage; 

    protected override void OnInitialized()

    {

        myEditContext = new EditContext(Person);

        base.OnInitialized();

    }

// my submit button method

   protected void SubmitPerson(EditContext editContext)

    {

        bool isFormValid = editContext.Validate();

        if (isFormValid)

        {   

     //apply when the form is valid

            ValidMEssage = "Save successfully";

        }

        else   {

            //apply when the form is not valid

            ValidMEssage = "Invalid";

        }

}

*****MY MODEL ********

  public class PersonModel    {

        public int ID { get; set; }

        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)]

        [StringLength(255)]

        public String Name { get; set; }

        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)]

        [StringLength(255)]

        public String Address { get; set; }

        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)]

        [StringLength(255)]

        public String CreatedBy { get; set; }

        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)]

        [StringLength(255)]

        public String UpdatedBy { get; set; }

    }

Andrew, 

 

You can achieve your requirement by preselect the inputs (from your end insert value textboxes). Please find the code example here: 

<EditForm EditContext="@myEditContext" OnSubmit="@SubmitPerson"> 

 

    <DataAnnotationsValidator /> 

 

    <div class="form-group"> 

 

        <label for="NameInput">Name</label> 

 

        <InputText class="form-control" id="NameInput" @bind-Value="Person.Name" /> 

 

    </div> 

 

    <div class="form-group"> 

 

        <label for="AddressInput">Address</label> 

 

        <InputText class="form-control" id="AddressInput" @bind-Value="Person.Address" /> 

 

    </div> 

    <div class="form-group"> 

 

        <label for="AddressInput">Address</label> 

 

        <InputText class="form-control" id="AddressInput1" @bind-Value="Person.CreatedBy" /> 

 

    </div> 

    <div class="form-group"> 

 

        <label for="AddressInput">Address</label> 

 

        <InputText class="form-control" id="AddressInput2" @bind-Value="Person.UpdatedBy" /> 

 

    </div> 

 

    <div> 

 

        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button> 

 

    </div> 

 

    @*<ValidationSummary></ValidationSummary>*@ 

 

</EditForm> 

 

@code { 

 

    public PersonModel Person = new PersonModel(); 

 

    EditContext myEditContext { get; set; } 

 

    private string ValidMEssage; 

 

    protected override void OnInitialized() 

 

    { 

 

        myEditContext = new EditContext(Person); 

 

        base.OnInitialized(); 

 

    } 

 

    protected void SubmitPerson(EditContext editContext) 

 

    { 

 

        bool isFormValid = editContext.Validate(); 

 

        if (isFormValid) 

 

        { 

 

            //apply when the form is valid 

 

            ValidMEssage = "Save successfully"; 

 

        } 

 

        else 

        { 

 

            //apply when the form is not valid 

 

            ValidMEssage = "Invalid"; 

 

        } 

    } 

 

    public class PersonModel 

    { 

 

        public int ID { get; set; } 

 

        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)] 

 

        [StringLength(255)] 

 

        public String Name { get; set; } 

 

 

 

        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)] 

 

        [StringLength(255)] 

 

        public String Address { get; set; } 

 

 

 

        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)] 

 

        [StringLength(255)] 

 

        public String CreatedBy { get; set; } = "Andrew"; 

 

 

 

        [Required(AllowEmptyStrings = false)] 

 

        [StringLength(255)] 

 

        public String UpdatedBy { get; set; } = "Andrew"; 

 

    } 

 

    }
