Question

On jQuery site Plugins/Validation/Methods/digits
there is example:

$("#myform").validate({
  rules: {
    field: {
      required: true,
      digits: true
    }
  }
});

I would like to decide if validation needed by function.
I have a problem only for digits specifically when I try next:

$("#myform").validate({
  rules: {
    field: {
      required: true,
      digits: function() { return false; }
    }
  }
});

Validation plugin still require digits only for my input field.
How to switch digits validator by function in jQuery validate plugin?

Answer 1

i think you need

digits: {
depends: function(){
      return false;                            
   }
}

try this

$("#myform").validate({
  rules: {
    field: {
      required: true,
          digits: {
         depends: function(){
                 return (some_condition());
             }
         }
      }
  }
});
