I would like to add required to the Name, Phone, and Message fields. Email is already required.

Here is my existing code.

<div class="page-width">
  <div class="grid">
    <div class="grid__item medium-up--five-sixths medium-up--push-one-twelfth">
      <div class="section-header text-center">
        <h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
      </div>

      {% if page.content.size > 0 %}
        <div class="rte">
          {{ page.content }}
        </div>
      {% endif %}

      <div class="contact-form form-vertical">
        {%- assign formId = 'ContactForm' -%}
        {% form 'contact', id: formId %}
          {% include 'form-status', form_id: formId %}

          <div class="grid grid--half-gutters">
            <div class="grid__item medium-up--one-half">
              <label for="{{ formId }}-name">{{ 'contact.form.name' | t }}</label>
              <input type="text" id="{{ formId }}-name" name="contact[name]" value="{% if form[name] %}{{ form[name] }}{% elsif customer %}{{ customer.name }}{% endif %}">
            </div>
            <div class="grid__item medium-up--one-half">
              <label for="{{ formId }}-email">{{ 'contact.form.email' | t }} <span aria-hidden="true">*</span></label>
              <input
                type="email"
                id="{{ formId }}-email"
                name="contact[email]"
                autocorrect="off"
                autocapitalize="off"
                value="{% if form.email %}{{ form.email }}{% elsif customer %}{{ customer.email }}{% endif %}"
                aria-required="true"
                {%- if form.errors contains 'email' -%}
                  class="input--error"
                  aria-invalid="true"
                  aria-describedby="{{ formId }}-email-error"
                {%- endif -%}
                >
              {%- if form.errors contains 'email' -%}
                <span id="{{ formId}}-email-error" class="input-error-message">{% include 'icon-error' %} {{ form.errors.translated_fields['email'] | capitalize }} {{ form.errors.messages['email'] }}.</span>
              {%- endif -%}
            </div>
          </div>

          <label for="{{ formId }}-phone">{{ 'contact.form.phone' | t }}</label>
          <input type="tel" id="{{ formId }}-phone" name="contact[phone]" pattern="[0-9\-]*" value="{% if form[phone] %}{{ form[phone] }}{% elsif customer %}{{ customer.phone }}{% endif %}">

          <label for="{{ formId }}-message">{{ 'contact.form.message' | t }}</label>
          <textarea rows="10" id="{{ formId }}-message" name="contact[body]">{% if form.body %}{{ form.body }}{% endif %}</textarea>

          <input type="submit" class="btn" value="{{ 'contact.form.submit' | t }}">

        {% endform %}
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Hi, @digga ,

This is Evita from On The Map.

You can add required field inside input tag and textarea tag, like this:

<input type="tel" **required** id="{{ formId }}-phone" name="contact[phone]" pattern="[0-9\-]*" value="{% if form[phone] %}{{ form[phone] }}{% elsif customer %}{{ customer.phone }}{% endif %}" >

Best, Evita

Thanks Evita

so simple just adding the word required so it goes from

id=

to

required id=

so easy thanks

Is there a way to do this without using the required attribute? This attribute forces the browser to use it’s default error message which is not accessible. Any other JS techniques that I try to add do not validate that other fields are required.

Agreed. I cant find any information on how to use Shopify validation rules for other fields, other than the email field.
