Formance.js – Library for formatting and validating form fields

Somewhat off topic, but I wish there was a credible site out there that reviewed these type of general libraries. There are hundreds of them out there and when I need to find one it usually comes with hours of research trying to decide on the right one to use. It would be great if there was a place to look up the general strengths and weaknesses of each without doing all the necessary leg work.

I wish they wouldn't show error prompts when the user has just started entering characters

If you&#x27;re looking for a nice validation API that doesn&#x27;t require jQuery, I&#x27;ve been working on one recently for forms: <a href="https://github.com/segmentio/validate" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;segmentio&#x2F;validate</a><p>I personally really dislike working with jQuery plugins, because their APIs tend to be very poorly thought out. And using strings as a way to call methods is generally unfortunate, especially when they are snake-cased like these ones.

For North American phone numbers, it&#x27;s fairly common to input your phone number with the preceding country code of 1. It would be nice if the library accounted for that.

You should make these compatible with Parsley.js: <a href="http://parsleyjs.org/documentation.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;parsleyjs.org&#x2F;documentation.html</a>

A few of them (phone number) break if you CMD-A to select all and start typing, to replace the entire value. It just deselects and appends rather than overwriting.

If I fill out the phone number all the way, then go back with the arrow keys and try to delete&#x2F;change numbers, I get weird behavior

Great plugin!<p>Is there something similar for AngularJS that supports input limiting and formatting?

aaannddnd it works in IE7! Beautiful. Thank you. Will be using this for sure!

I&#x27;m so going to test 4242 4242 4242 4242 in every shopping website now.

if it can&#x27;t validate emails according to the RFC&#x27;s don&#x27;t include email &quot;validation&quot;

What about international numbers?
