Feature: Validate Input #167

maaslalani · 2022-06-08T16:06:34Z

Based on #114

Adds Validate property to textinput to ensure input is valid.

Validate is a function that accepts a string and returns an error which may be nil if the string is valid.

// ValidateFunc is a function that returns an error if the input is invalid.
type ValidateFunc func(string) error

textinput/textinput.go

 	runes := []rune(s)
 	if m.CharLimit > 0 && len(runes) > m.CharLimit {
 		m.value = runes[:m.CharLimit]
 	} else {
 		m.value = runes
 	}
-	if m.pos == 0 || m.pos > len(m.value) {
+	if (m.pos == 0 && len(m.value) == 0) || m.pos > len(m.value) {


Hey @maaslalani do you know if this was intended?

Basically now when I use SetValue to prefill a field my cursor is no longer moved to the end of the line and I have to call CursorEnd myself.

Hey! That's definitely a bug, I will fix it soon! Thank you for catching it.

No worries, if you want I can open a PR 😄

If you would like to, go for it! It would be much appreciated :)

This PR builds upon the excellent work in charmbracelet#167 and charmbracelet#114 and adds a bit more customizability to the feature. Currently, the validation API will completely block text input if the Validate function returns an error. This commit makes this behavior configurable by introducing a ValidateAction which decides how to proceed in case a validation error happens. To preserve backwards compatibility, the default behavior remains unchanged. If ValidateAction is set to AllowInput, the text input error will still be set if needed, but actual input will not be blocked. This is helpful for cases where the user is requested to type an existing system path, and the Validate function keeps asserting this. With the current implementation such a validation is not possible. For example: > / Err: nil > /t Err: /t: No such file or directory > /tm Err: /tm: No such file or directory > /tmp Err: nil

Currently, the validation API will completely block text input if the Validate function returns an error. This commit makes a breaking change to the ValidateFunc by returning an additonal bool that indicates whether or not input should be blocked.
