Simple, lightweight model-based validation library for Vue.js 2.x and 3.0.
Vuelidate is a simple, lightweight validation library for Vue.js applications. It provides a model-based approach to defining and managing form validation rules, helping developers ensure data integrity with minimal boilerplate. It solves the problem of complex, hard-to-maintain form validation logic by offering a clean, declarative API.
Vue.js developers building applications with forms that require robust client-side validation, especially those using Vue 2.x or 3.0 and seeking a minimal, model-based solution.
Developers choose Vuelidate for its simplicity, lightweight footprint, and seamless integration with Vue's reactivity system. Its model-based approach reduces boilerplate, and support for both Vue 2 and 3 with Options and Composition APIs makes it versatile for various project setups.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Defines validation rules directly on component data models, reducing boilerplate and making logic declarative, as shown in the Options and Composition API examples in the README.
Works seamlessly with both Vue 2.x and 3.0, including Options and Composition APIs, providing flexibility for migration and diverse project setups.
Offers configurable lazy validation via the $lazy option to run validations only after fields are dirty, optimizing performance for large or complex forms.
Emphasizes minimalism and integrates naturally with Vue's reactivity system without heavy abstractions, keeping bundle size small and setup straightforward.
Currently in LTS mode with no new features or major updates, which may not suit projects needing ongoing improvements or cutting-edge validation techniques.
Requires custom code to extract and display error messages from the validation object, lacking built-in UI components for seamless error rendering, as noted in the display examples.
Custom validators and complex rule combinations can be challenging to implement, with documentation that may not thoroughly cover edge cases or advanced scenarios.
