Abide Foundation - triggering valid.fndtn.abide

1.2k Views Asked by fractal5 At 12 April 2025 at 10:57

I'm using Abide to run validation on a form, which is working fine. However I'm trouble performing an action if the form is valid or invalid.

HTML:

<form role="form" id="form_search_extended" name="form_search_extended" data-abide="ajax" novalidate>

    <input name="postalCode" type="text" value="{{$data['postalCode']['value']}}" placeholder="ZIP/Postal Code" required maxlength="10">

    <button type="submit" value="Submit">Submit</button>

</form>

Javascript:

    $('#form_search_extended')
      .on('invalid.fndtn.abide', function () {
        callFunctionOnValid();
        console.log('invalid!');
      })
      .on('valid.fndtn.abide', function () {
        console.log('valid!');
      });

var form = document.getElementById('form_search_extended');
form.onsubmit = function(e) {

    e.preventDefault();

    console.log('form submitted');
};

The code inside the valid or invalid listeners weren't being run.

I don't understand why this isn't working. Is the event listener for valid.fndtn.abide not being fired? Abide is working because the validation for the fields is showing up.

Thanks.

For anyone else having this problem, Lea Fox's answer wasn't working for me as I had already initialized Foundation. What did work was creating a new Abide instance right before the form JS code. In this case:

   const $form = $('#form_search_extended');

   // Create new Abide instance
   new Foundation.Abide($form);

   $form
      .on('valid.fndtn.abide', function(e, el) {
        callFunctionOnValid();
        console.log('invalid!');
      })
      .on('invalid.fndtn.abide', function(e, el) {
        console.log(e.target, 'valid!');
      })
      .on("submit", function(ev) {
        ev.preventDefault();
        console.log("Submitted");
      });

Now the valid.fndtn.abide and invalid.fndtn.abide triggers are being called. I am not sure why this is required, it may have something to do with ES6 modules.

You need to initialize the script.

Add

  <script>
    $(document).foundation();
  </script>

before the closing body tag

$('#form_search_extended')
  .on('valid.fndtn.abide', function(e, el) {
    callFunctionOnValid();
    console.log('invalid!');
  })
  .on('invalid.fndtn.abide', function(e, el) {
    console.log(e.target, 'valid!');
  })
  .on("submit", function(ev) {
    ev.preventDefault();
    console.log("Submitted");
  });
