Editor following Html5 form validation

[Ruud]

Hi,

I'm currently building a form which includes some basic text inputs and a RTF editor. I use the KendoReact Editor to offer the cool control with nice copy and paste and formatting options.

I understand from your documentation that this control does not support Html5 form validation. In particular, I need to make this rte field required. As the rest of the form follows the html5 form validation (with all the nice UI hints if you try to submit) I'm looking for a way to accomplish the same with the Editor control. Has anyone accomplished this before?

Hello, Ruud,

Currently, this can be achieved by programmatically checking the Editor content and setting class name that will make it look invalid.

I made an example that will add the invalid when to the Editor when in it empty on a button click:

I hope this proves helpful.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your quick reply. I do know how to add classes and prevent submission of the form via a custom method; but i would like to use this control the same as the input, where a Required attribute on the input tag is enough for the html5 validation to work, which includes the validation messages and will prevent the form submission as well.

I read this is not supported by the Editor control, so i was just wandering if there is a work around. I guess for now I need to stick to my current approach.

Hello, Ruud,

Thank you for the feedback.

I discussed this with the Editor lead developer and the Form developer. We have some ideas in mind and we may be able to offer a nicer integration between the Editor and Form.

As our planning is dynamic, we will have this in mind, and when we have an official result, I will post it here.

Hello, Sanjay,

Currently, the required property is still not added.

We are working on tasks based on community interest and priority.

Thank you for sharing your interest in this as it will increase its priority.
