Remember this? I’m glad other people find this annoying as well! (ââżââż) Don’t validate on the keyup/keydown event–do it on the blur event (if using JS)! Or how to validate forms the correct way with CSS.

@giantpaper/breakpoints.js – 34 downloads
Once upon a time, I was new to Github. One of the first repos I put up was breakpoints.js, and shortly after, I published it on npm. 2 years later, I remembered I put up a script called breakpoints.js on npm. đ€ I should look at it to see if it needs fixing. đ€
*ahem* 34 downloads!!!! đ± It’s less than what I was getting with animate.scss (and just found that people have been downloading it over the past couple years, but even so. DAYUUUUM.
(The sudden spike I think is explained by the fact that I released a new version, 2.0.0, and then a patch for that new version.)

Btw, Interactive forms that validate as the user types are annoying
Dear Ubiosoft… (and anyone who thinks online forms like these are a great idea).
DON’T VALIDATE MY INPUTS AS I TYPE!!
Example: For email, I enter my email…”h….” and the form screams at me “USE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS”. Like…yeah it’s not a valid email, I haven’t finished typing it!! đ€đ€đ€đ€ >:u
Alternate solution for those curious: validate when the user is no longer focused on the form field (in Javascript, that would be when the
blurevent happens, don’t know the equivalent for computer programming languages, sorry).// With jQuery $('.element').blur(function(){ // validate inputs here });// With vanilla JavaScript document.querySelector('.element').addEventListener('blur', () => { // validate inputs here });
