Form Validation Logic Partially Implemented
A form was scaffolded with basic structure but validation is incomplete. Some fields check for empty values but don't validate format (emails, phone numbers). Others bypass validation entirely due to missing checks. Invalid data is submitted to backend.
Frontend validation is partially implemented but inconsistent across form fields.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- Validation logic written for some fields but not all form fields
- Validation doesn't prevent form submission (submit button not disabled)
- Format validators missing (email regex, phone format, date range)
- Error messages not shown to user, validation happens silently
- Backend validation doesn't match frontend, causing confusing UX mismatch
How to Fix It
Complete validation for all fields. Add format validation beyond 'not empty' (email regex, length limits). Disable submit button until form valid. Display error messages next to invalid fields. Always validate on backend too, never trust frontend validation. Use a form library (Formik, React Hook Form) for consistency.

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.
