🤔 Form Validation Is Everywhere… Yet Still Painful
Every web app has forms.
Every form needs validation.
Yet somehow, validation logic still ends up:
- Scattered across files
- Hard to read later
- Tightly coupled to frameworks
- Or bloated with unnecessary abstractions
After dealing with this repeatedly, I decided to build a small solution for myself — and that became Ctrovalidate.
🛠️ The Idea Behind Ctrovalidate
Ctrovalidate was built around a few simple principles:
- Rules should read like rules
- Validation should be predictable
- Errors should be accessible by default
- The library should stay out of your way
No magic. No heavy configuration. Just clear validation logic.
✨ What Ctrovalidate Tries to Do Well
- 📦 Lightweight and framework-agnostic
- 📖 Human-readable validation rules
- ♿ Accessibility-conscious error handling
- 🔌 Easy to plug into existing projects
- 🧠 Simple mental model (great for learning & teaching)
It works with vanilla JavaScript and fits nicely into modern frontend setups.
📚 Docs, Examples & Demo

If you like the idea:
- ⭐ Star the repo
- 👀 Follow for updates
- 🧪 Try it in a real project
🙏 Looking for Feedback
This project is still growing, and feedback matters a lot at this stage.
I’d especially love thoughts on:
- API design
- Missing validation rules
- DX improvements
- Accessibility edge cases
If you’ve ever built forms (which… we all have 😄), your input would be valuable.
Thanks for reading, and happy coding 🚀
