Form Handling

quick-form.js

Template.quickForm.events({

    // Submission of Category form
    "submit #catForm": function(event) {

        // Do some form verification here
        var theName = event.target.catName.value;
        var theLimit = event.target.catLimit.value;

        // Thanks to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/308122/simple-regular-expression-for-a-decimal-with-a-precision-of-2
        var limitRegex = /^\d+(\.\d{1,2})?$/;

        if (!limitRegex.test(theLimit)) {
            alert("Limit must be in decimal format, such as '100.00' or '100'.  Numbers only!");
            // Reject the submission here.
        }


        var theCategory = {
            name: event.target.catName.value,
            limit: event.target.catLimit.value || 0,
            user: Meteor.userId()
        };



        // Keep form from submitting.
        event.preventDefault();

    }
