Let's review client side validation as a concept.
0:04
We saw that it's really easy to add HTML5 based validation
0:08
to our forms. All we have to do is set the type
0:11
and say whether things are required.
0:14
For example, on the first input here
0:16
we have the type is email and it's required.
0:18
The second one, the type is password, and it's required.
0:21
Password you'd typically set 'cause you're
0:24
it's really clear right away that you don't want people
0:26
to see the password, but email versus text, not so obvious.
0:30
You might as well put it in there
0:31
'cause it'll help make sure that email is actually valid
0:34
for most users. So once we have this in place
0:36
if we try to put just something like our name
0:38
where an email address is expected
0:40
it goes no no, that's not a valid email address.
0:42
You need the @. Michael is missing an @.
0:46
Real easy, just add a few requireds and types
0:49
and you'll get much better client side validation.
