I am trying conditional required field. If user selects ContactByPhone
checkbox I am showing ContactPhoneNumber
field and it should be required filed. If user doesn't select ContactByPhone
then ContactPhoneNumber
is invisible and not required.
Validation is not showing on client side. and after I submit the form ModelState.IsValid
is false for this property.
How to handle this? I think I referenced all scripts on the page. Do we have any alternative solution for this situation?
Model
public class Contact
{
[Display(Name = "by Phone")]
public bool ContactByPhone { get; set; }
[RequiredIfTrue("ContactByPhone", ErrorMessage = "Phone number is required")]
public string ContactPhoneNumber { get; set; }
}

I guess you're missing
MvcFoolproofJQueryValidation.min.js
andMvcFoolproofValidation.min.js
JS files. See example below:Note: I used jquery to control the hidden div element.
