Migration Instructions
To stay compatible with future changes, migrate to
getForm(). The validation is now performed under the hood by the getForm() method.
To migrate to the new method:
Add a backend file to your site.
Write a code so that it replaces the validate() method from the frontend with the getForm() method from the backend. Export your backend function so that it can be used in the frontend.
Import your backend function into the frontend file. Test your changes to make sure your code behaves as expected.
The validate() method returns a Promise that resolves to {valid: true}
if the fields and values in the registration form are valid or rejects if there are
invalid fields or values.
When validate() is called, validateInput()
also runs for all your form fields.
The following are invalid when checked against the event's registration form as defined in the site dashboard:
