Data Validation ensures that input data meets certain criteria before it is accepted. This feature is crucial for maintaining data integrity and preventing user errors. For example, a grid might only allow date formats in a specific cell or prevent duplicate entries in a column, thereby enforcing data consistency.
Several Angular grid controls offer data validation support including:
- Handsontable: Enforce data type restrictions, limit text input length, and set custom validation rules.
- Jspreadsheet Pro Data Grid: Validate data against regular expressions, define custom validation callbacks, and utilize cell-level validation.
- DataViewsJS: Implement data validation using custom data binding expressions, conditional formatting, and error messages.
- Xceed DataGrid for JavaScript: Leverage client-side and server-side validation mechanisms, including data type checks, range limitations, and custom rules.
Alternatively, many Angular grid controls are available as part of multi-function suites:
- DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript Data Grid: Employ built-in data validation rules, enforce data type constraints, and handle custom validation scenarios.
- Kendo UI for Angular Grid: Define validation rules using directives, apply data type restrictions, and utilize asynchronous validation.
- Ignite UI Angular Grid: Implement data validation using custom editors, leverage built-in validation rules, and handle error messages.
- SmartClient Grid: Utilize comprehensive data validation features, including data type checks, custom validation rules, and error handling.
