Remove need for `addError`, `removeError`, ...

With the right set of feature, there shouldn’t be a need for addError, updateError and removeError.

Others?

I’m using v2.3.11 and there appears to be no addError() method on the instance: $('#login-form').parsley().addError is undefined so I was wondering how do I manually activate errors now since calling window.ParsleyUI.addError directs me to this issue.

The docs seem to be out of date and still suggest using window.ParsleyUI.addError.

My use case is that I use an API which does not have a possibility to AJAX check if the a field is valid. I only get errors after POSTing the entire form, e.g. if I submit a register form the API might respond with:

{
    "message": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "body": {
        "error_fields": {
            "email": {
                "failed_rule": "Unique",
                "message": "The email has already been taken."
            },
            "password": {
                "failed_rule": "Complexity",
                "message": "The password is not complex enough."
            }
        }
    }
}

Which is a great response which I can easily traverse and map the error message to the proper fields, but I can not see how that is possible with the latest Parsley version.

This is a very simple example, but I’m dealing with very complex CMS forms which can return errors for multiple fields with no way to validate all the error types client-side before submit.

I could of course display bulk server messages or render them manually in each error container but I would love using Parsley for this since I’m already using it for client side validation.

I was convinced I tried it on field instance as well, but probably missed something. Anyway if someone else finds this thread like me here’s a little help on how to do it (at least until the docs get updated).

$('[name="email"]').parsley().addError('error-1', { message: 'Message for error-1' }); // add error message
$('[name="email"]').parsley().addError('error-2', { message: 'Message for error-2' }); // add one more error message
$('[name="email"]').parsley().removeError('error-1'); // remove first message
