Validating complex data models
In this recipe, we tackle the validation of complex forms and data models. Having well-structured and modularized code makes the code base easier to maintain and reduces the likelihood of errors by clearly defining and isolating each component’s responsibilities. In forms, complex models segment the data into manageable parts, each with its validation logic, making it easier to maintain the overall form’s state and ensuring each segment adheres to specific business rules. The Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.DataAnnotations.Validation package, although experimental, exposes Blazor-native validators and offers enhanced data annotations that integrate smoothly with complex models.
Let’s extend the event creation form to include a nested object that encapsulates details about the event location.
