Validation in QML

[deleted379]

Hello,

There is something not very clear in documentation.

Say, I am using RegExpValidator for e-mail address form field.

How to trigger validation of this field upon submission of the form?

Currently, with the correctly set validator property of the TextField QML type, I am able to leave the field with malformed e-mail address and there is no complaint shown in the user interface.

What am I missing?

Thank you in advance.

When validator is set you can use acceptableInput property of input, to check if it valid.

Excellent!

I have now noticed how this relates to accepted() signal and onAccepted handler.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
