bootstrap-validate: How can i enable validation in bootstrap4?

Question

I have a validation form in bootstrap4 when I enter less than 5 characters it shows me an error.

When I enter 5 or more than 5 characters I want to put a green check-mark and border on that particular input field.

<div class="container">
    <form action="" class="needs-validation" novalidate>
         <div class="form-group">
              <label for="username">username:</label>
              <input type="text" class="form-control" id="name"    placeholder="username" required> 
         </div>
        <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="submit" >
     </form>
    </div>


<script src="./dist/bootstrap-validate.js"></script>
 <script>
   bootstrapValidate('#name', 'min:5:Enter at least 5 charecters');
 </script>

</body>
 </html>

Answer 1

You need a few things in your code...

• you got the condition correct, need to add/remove classes as a result of bootstrapValidate
• import the icon library (i used font awesome v5)
• in the classes you add/remove, you gotta place the icon for the check mark

UPDATE: in light of questioner's comment of multiple fields in the form

Following code should help:

$(document).ready(function() {
  bootstrapValidate('#usr', 'min:5:Enter at least 5 characters!', function(isValid) {
    if (isValid) {
      $("#formHolder").addClass('validClass');
      $("#formHolder").removeClass('invalidClass');
    } else {
      $("#formHolder").addClass('invalidClass');
      $("#formHolder").removeClass('validClass');
    }
  });
  bootstrapValidate('#lastName', 'min:7:Enter at least 7 characters!', function(isValid) {
    if (isValid) {
      $("#formHolder2").addClass('validClass');
      $("#formHolder2").removeClass('invalidClass');
    } else {
      $("#formHolder2").addClass('invalidClass');
      $("#formHolder2").removeClass('validClass');
    }
  });
});

.validClass>input {
  border: 2px solid green;
}

.validClass .form-control:focus {
  border-color: green;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 0.2rem rgba(33, 93, 30, 0.56)
}

.invalidClass>input,
.invalidClass .form-control:focus {
  border: 2px solid red;
}

.inputWrapper {
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative
}

.validClass:after {
  font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
  content: "\f00c";
  visibility: visible;
  font-weight: 900;
  color: green;
  position: absolute;
  right: 6px;
  top: 55%;
}

.invalid-feedback {
  position: absolute;
  display: inline-block;
  bottom: -100px;
  left: 0px;
}

.submitBtn {
  margin-top: 20px;
}
