⚙️ Installation

• Installation using the Boss:

boss install github.com/Code4Delphi/C4D-Validate-Components

• Manual installation: Open your Delphi and add the following folder to your project, under Project > Options > Resource Compiler > Directories and Conditionals > Include file search path

..\C4D-Validate-Components\Src

🚀 Quickstart

• Add uses to your system:

uses
  C4D.Validate.Components;

• Insert the Custom Attributes on the component declaration you want to validate:

[FieldDisplay('Name')]
[NotEmpty]
[Length(5, 15)]
edtName: TEdit;

• Make the call for form validation:

TC4DValidateComponents.Validate(TClasseDoForm, Self);

Custom Attributes available:

• Name to be displayed if there are errors:

[FieldDisplay('Name to be displayed')]

• Validates so that the field is not empty:

[NotEmpty]

• Enter a minimum and/or maximum number of characters for the field:

[Length(5, 15)]

• Enter the minimum and/or maximum value that must be entered in the field:

[MinMaxValue(5, 10)]

• Enter the minimum and/or maximum date that must be entered in the field

[MinMaxDate('01/12/2023', '10/12/2023')]

⌨️ Demo

• Next to the project sources, you will find a test project, in the folder:

C4D-Validate-Components\Samples\Demo01

Tip

Starting with Delphi version 10.3, if you use a custom attribute that is not known to the compiler (because you typed it incorrectly or a unit is missing in the uses statement), you will receive a Warning:

Warning: W1074 Unknown custom attribute

It is recommended to transform this Warning into an error, so that correction is mandatory, to do so enter:

{$WARN UNKNOWN_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTE ERROR}
