Wijmo provides a validation function library that allows you to use string parsing and validation functions outside of the input widgets, so that you can have matching input and output routines. Wijmo provides four types of validation functions: Text, Mask, Date, and Number. Each function has a value parameter, plus other optional parameters. See each type below for further details.

Text Validation

Text validation comes in two flavors. The first takes only two parameters, value and format, and the other takes three, value, minLength, and maxLength. In either case, if the value cannot be parsed as the specified type, the function returns false.

bool $.wijinputcore.validateText(string value, string format);  
bool $.wijinputcore.validateText(string value, Number minLength, Number maxLength);

$.wijinputcore.validateText("123", "9");
 //returns: true
$.wijinputcore.validateText("あ山９", "Ｚ");
 //returns: true
$.wijinputcore.validateText("9999999", 4, 7);
 //returns: true

Mask Validation

Mask validation takes two parameters and returns a Boolean value. If the value cannot be parsed with the specified format, the function returns false.

bool $.wijinputcore.validateMask(string value, string format);

$.wijinputcore.validateMask("1234567", "999-9999");
 //returns: false

Number Validation

Number formatting takes four parameters. Only the value parameter is required. If the value cannot be parsed with the specified parameters, the function returns false.

bool $.wijinputcore.validateNumber(string value, Number minValue, Number maxValue, string culture);

$.wijinputcore.validateNumber("123,45.6", 100, 100000);  
 //returns: true

Date Validation

Date validation takes five parameters. Only the value parameter is required. If the value cannot be parsed with the specified parameters, the function returns false.

bool $.wijinputcore.validateDate(string value, Date minDate, Date maxDate, string format, string culture);

$.wijinputcore.validateDate("12/3/2012", new Date(2013,0,1), new Date(2013,11,31));   
 //returns: false
$.wijinputcore.validateDate("平成 25年12月16日", new Date(2013,0,1), new Date(2013,11,31), "ggg ee年MM月dd日");  
 //returns: false
