ASP.NET MVC 3 client-side validation with parameters
Solution 1:
You could use the ValidationParameters
property to add custom parameters to the rule:
public IEnumerable<ModelClientValidationRule> GetClientValidationRules(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context)
{
var rule = new ModelClientValidationRule
{
ErrorMessage = this.ErrorMessage,
ValidationType = "futuredate",
};
rule.ValidationParameters.Add("param1", "value1");
rule.ValidationParameters.Add("param2", "value2");
yield return rule;
}
which could be used in the adapter:
jQuery.validator.unobtrusive.adapters.add(
'futuredate',
[ 'param1', 'param2' ],
function (options) {
var param1 = options.params.param1; // shall equal 'value1'
var param2 = options.params.param2; // shall equal 'value2'
// TODO: use those custom parameters to define the client rules
}
);
UPDATE:
As requested in the comments section here's how you could pass those parameters to the custom validator rule function:
jQuery.validator.unobtrusive.adapters.add(
'futuredate',
[ 'param1', 'param2' ],
function (options) {
// simply pass the options.params here
options.rules['greaterThan'] = options.params;
options.messages['greaterThan'] = options.message;
}
);
jQuery.validator.addMethod('greaterThan', function (value, element, params) {
// params here will equal { param1: 'value1', param2: 'value2' }
return ...
}, '');
