Validate Dynamically Added Input fields

Question

I have used this jquery validation plugin for the following form.

Answer 1

$('#form-btn').click(function () {
//set global rules & messages array to use in validator
   var rules = {};
   var messages = {};
//get input, select, textarea of form
   $('#formId').find('input, select, textarea').each(function () {
      var name = $(this).attr('name');
      rules[name] = {};
      messages[name] = {};

      rules[name] = {required: true}; // set required true against every name
//apply more rules, you can also apply custom rules & messages
      if (name === "email") {
         rules[name].email = true;
         //messages[name].email = "Please provide valid email";
      }
      else if(name==='url'){
        rules[name].required = false; // url filed is not required
//add other rules & messages
      }
   });
//submit form and use above created global rules & messages array
   $('#formId').submit(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
        }).validate({
            rules: rules,
            messages: messages,
            submitHandler: function (form) {
            console.log("validation success");
            }
        });
});

Answer 2

The one mahesh posted is not working because the attribute name is missing:

So instead of

<input id="list" class="required"  />

You can use:

<input id="list" name="list" class="required"  />

Modified version

You need to re-parse the form after adding dynamic content in order to validate the content

$('form').data('validator', null);
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse($('form'));

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery-validation@1.17.0/dist/jquery.validate.js"></script>

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#commentForm").validate();
    });

    function addInput() {

        var indexVal = $("#index").val();
        var index = parseInt(indexVal) + 1
        var obj = '<input id="list'+index+'" name=list['+index+']  class="required" />'
        $("#parent").append(obj);

        $("#list"+index).rules("add", "required");
        $("#index").val(index)
    }
</script>

<form id="commentForm" method="get" action="">
    <input type="hidden" name="index" name="list[1]" id="index" value="1">
    <p id="parent">
        <input id="list1"  class="required" />
    </p>
    <input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"/>
    <input type="button" value="add" onClick="addInput()" />
</form>

Answer 5

In case you have a form you can add a class name as such:

<form id="my-form">
  <input class="js-input" type="text" name="samplename" />
  <input class="js-input" type="text" name="samplename" />
  <input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

you can then use the addClassRules method of validator to add your rules like this and this will apply to all the dynamically added inputs:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $.validator.addClassRules('js-input', {
    required: true,
  });
  //validate the form
  $('#my-form').validate();
});

jquery validation plugin version work fine v1.15.0 but v1.17.0 not work for me.

$(document).find('#add_patient_form').validate({
          ignore: [],
          rules:{
            'email[]':
            {
              required:true,
            },               
          },
          messages:{
            'email[]':
            {
              'required':'Required'
            },            
          },    
        });
