Question 1

How do I validate a password confirmation field with SwiftValidator?

Accepted Answer

Use the ConfirmationRule provided in the library, as shown in the README where emailConfirmTextField is validated against emailTextField by passing confirmField in the rule initialization.

Question 2

Can SwiftValidator be used with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, SwiftValidator is designed for UIKit's UITextField and doesn't support SwiftUI out of the box. For SwiftUI projects, you'd need to wrap UITextField or use alternative validation libraries.

Question 3

SwiftValidator vs Eureka for form handling?

Accepted Answer

Eureka is a full form builder with built-in validation, while SwiftValidator is a lightweight validation library focused on UITextField. SwiftValidator is better for adding validation to existing forms, whereas Eureka suits building forms from scratch.

Question 4

How to create a custom rule for phone number validation?

Accepted Answer

Extend RegexRule or create a new rule class, similar to the SSNRule example in the README, by defining a regex pattern for phone numbers and overriding the validation logic.

Question 5

Does SwiftValidator support real-time validation as user types?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through single field validation in methods like textFieldShouldReturn, allowing validation on each keystroke or field exit, though it requires manual implementation for continuous typing.

Question 6

How to handle validation errors without using error labels?

Accepted Answer

Implement the validationFailed delegate method to manually update UI, such as changing border colors or showing alerts, as demonstrated in the README with layer modifications for UITextField.
