TopicsForms & Validation
Part of the Full Stack Developer Roadmap.
Summary
Collecting and validating user input — from HTML5's built-in validation attributes to the client-side and server-side checks a real full-stack form needs at both ends.
How to Learn This
- 1Build a form with HTML5 validation attributes (`required`, `pattern`, `type="email"`).
- 2Practice handling form submission in JavaScript with `preventDefault()`.
- 3Remember: client-side validation is a UX nicety, server-side validation is the actual security boundary.
