form_builder

A library for building forms with various fields and validation.

Overview

form_builder is a Rust library designed to simplify the creation and validation of forms. It provides a flexible way to define forms with different types of fields, including text fields, select fields, and multiselect fields. The library also supports custom validation for these fields, making it easy to ensure that user input meets specific criteria.

Features

• Flexible Form Creation: Easily create forms with various types of fields.
• Custom Validation: Define custom validation rules for each field.
• Optional Fields: Support for optional fields using the Optional type.
• Select and Multiselect Fields: Built-in support for select and multiselect fields.
• Comprehensive Error Handling: Detailed error messages for validation failures.

Installation

To use form_builder in your project, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
form_builder = "1.0.0"

Example

use form_builder::{FormBuilder, Optional, ValidationMethods, Validator};

fn validate_custom(value: &str) -> bool {
    value.len() > 5
}

fn main() -> Result<(), String> {
    let mut form = FormBuilder::new()
        .add_field::<String>(
            "name",
            "Enter name:",

                    Some("Name cannot contain numbers"),
                ),
            ])),
