How To Implement A Simple Form With Validation In A Vue App With Vuetify Js

Creating forms with validation in a Vue app using Vuetify.js is a handy skill to have when building interactive and user-friendly web applications. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to implement a simple form with validation using Vuetify.js in your Vue app.

First things first, ensure you have Vue.js and Vuetify.js set up in your project. If you haven't already done this, you can easily add them by following the installation instructions on their respective websites.

To start building our form, we need to define the form fields and validation rules. Let's say we have a form with fields like name, email, and message. We can create a data object in our Vue component to store the form data and validation rules like this:

data() {
  return {
    formData: {
      name: '',
      email: '',
      message: ''
    },
    rules: {
      name: [
        v => !!v || 'Name is required',
      ],
      email: [
        v => !!v || 'E-mail is required',
        v => /.+@.+..+/.test(v) || 'E-mail must be valid',
      ],
      message: [
        v => !!v || 'Message is required',
      ]
    }
  };
}

In the above code snippet, we defined the formData object to store the form field values and the rules object to define validation rules for each field.

Next, let's create the form itself in the template section of our Vue component:

Submit

In this code snippet, we used Vuetify's v-form, v-text-field, and v-textarea components to create the form fields. We bound the input values to the corresponding fields in the formData object and applied the validation rules defined earlier.

Now, let's implement the submitForm method to handle form submission:

methods: {
  submitForm() {
    this.$refs.form.validate().then(valid => {
      if (valid) {
        // Form is valid, perform form submission logic here
        console.log('Form submitted successfully!', this.formData);
      }
    });
  }
}

In the submitForm method, we used Vuetify's form validation function to check if the form is valid. If the form is valid, you can perform your form submission logic. For demonstration purposes, we're logging the form data to the console.

And there you have it! You've successfully implemented a simple form with validation in your Vue app using Vuetify.js. Feel free to customize the form fields and validation rules according to your requirements. Happy coding!
