FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

🐾 BeastValidator

npm minified size gzip size license GitHub last commit

A flexible, no-dependency JavaScript form validator built for modern forms with great UX.

🔗 Live Demo 📁 GitHub Repository

BeastValidator is built for developers who want clean, dependency-free form validation with a great user experience. Unlike bulky frameworks or config-heavy libraries, BeastValidator works directly with native HTML5 attributes and gives you full control — perfect for landing pages, modals, or dynamic UIs.

Wrap form sections with data-step="1", data-step="2", etc. Use:

HTML

JavaScript

🧩 Build Variants Overview

File Format Use Case
dist/validate.esm.js ESM ✅ Modern bundlers like Vite, Webpack, Rollup, etc.
dist/validate.umd.js UMD ✅ For inclusion via <script> in a browser (dev mode)
dist/validate.min.js UMD (minified) ✅ Production-ready browser version or CDN like jsDelivr

🧠 When to Use Which

1. 🛠 Vite/Webpack/Rollup (Modern JavaScript Apps)

Use: dist/validate.esm.js

Why: This is an ES module (ESM) file optimized for modern JavaScript tooling. It supports tree-shaking and integrates cleanly into apps built with frameworks like React, Vue, Svelte, or Alpine.

2. 🌐 Browser via <script> (Vanilla Sites or CMS like WordPress)

Use: dist/validate.min.js

Why: This is a minified UMD build that exposes BeastValidator globally via window.BeastValidator. Ideal if you're using BeastValidator directly in a browser without any build step.

3. 🤓 For Debugging in Browser Without Build Tools

Use: dist/validate.umd.js

Why: This is the non-minified UMD build, useful for debugging or exploring how BeastValidator works in browser developer tools.

❓ FAQ

How do I validate only part of the form?

Use validateField() or validateCurrentStep().

Can I skip auto-submission?

Yes! Set autoSubmit: false and handle submission in onSuccess().

Does it work in React/Vue?

Yes, if you attach BeastValidator to a raw DOM node using ref.

Can I use it in modals or dynamic content?

Yes. Make sure to call new BeastValidator() after the form appears in the DOM.

Can I use BeastValidator without defining validation in JavaScript?

Yes! One of BeastValidator’s core strengths is that it leverages native HTML5 attributes like required, pattern, minlength, maxlength, type=email, and custom data-* attributes for validation logic. You don’t need to define a separate JS config.

Can I delay validation (e.g., to simulate an async check)?

Yes. Use the data-sleep="1" attribute to pause validation for X seconds before checking the value. Useful for async debouncing.

How can I debug what’s happening?

Set debug: true to get verbose console logging of all key lifecycle events:
