Client-Side Validation

Validate input before sending it anywhere.

Why Validate on the Client

Client-side validation gives instant feedback and a smoother experience. Remember it is a convenience, not security: always validate on the server too.

Validating on Submit

A common pattern checks fields when the form is submitted, canceling submission if anything is invalid.

form.addEventListener("submit", (e) => {
  if (!isValid()) {
    e.preventDefault();
  }
});
