Setting Up Client Side Validation for a Custom RequiredIf Attribute in Asp.NET Core 3.0

When working with forms in Asp.NET Core, ensuring that users provide the correct inputs is crucial for both user experience and the integrity of the data being submitted. One common scenario involves creating conditional validation rules—specifically, implementing a custom RequiredIf attribute. This guide provides a detailed guide on how to effectively set up client-side validation for a custom RequiredIf attribute in Asp.NET Core 3.0 MVC, saving you time and frustrations when handling form validations.

Understanding the Problem

You may find yourself in a situation where you need a property on a form to be required only if another property meets a certain condition. This can be tricky to implement, especially if the client-side validation does not fire as expected. After many attempts and research, one key insight emerged: the order of script loading in your HTML makes a significant difference.

Creating the RequiredIf Attribute

Step 1: Define the Custom Attribute

To get started, you’ll need to create a new class that inherits from ValidationAttribute and implements IClientModelValidator.

Conclusion

Setting up client-side validation for a custom RequiredIf attribute in Asp.NET Core 3.0 might seem daunting, but with this guide, you can implement it smoothly and effectively. The key takeaways are creating the custom validation attribute, applying it correctly in the model, adding the necessary HTML elements for feedback, and ensuring that the script files are correctly loaded in the right sequence. This will enhance your forms' validation capabilities, leading to a better user experience and data accuracy.

By following these steps, you can avoid the headaches of getting client-side validation to work and efficiently manage conditional requirements in your forms. Happy coding!
