How to validate email input field for multiple email separated by comma or semi-clone in Bootstrapvalidator

I've one text area for multiple email input and I want to validate emails with the bootstrap validator. I can't do this because there is an option for multiple which is by default false and I cannot make it true.

For your Reference (bootstrap validator page): http://bootstrapvalidator.votintsev.ru/validators/emailAddress/ 

<div class="form-group">
<label for="email" class="col-sm-4 control-label"><span class="required">*</span> Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
    <textarea id="company_email" name="email" class="form-control pull-left" rows="2" placeholder="Email"></textarea>
</div>


    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#emailForm').bootstrapValidator({
                feedbackIcons: {
                    valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
                    invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
                    validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
                },
                fields: {
                    email: {
                        validators: {
                            notEmpty: {
                                message: 'Email is required and cannot be empty'
                            },
                            emailAddress: {
                                message: 'The value is not a valid email address'
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        });
    </script>
Solution

  • From the link you provided:

    When setting options via HTML attributes, remember to enable the validator by setting data-bv-emailaddress="true". You don't need to do that when using HTML 5 type="email" attribute.

    Just add those attributes to your textarea: data-bv-emailaddress-multiple="true" data-bv-emailaddress="true"

    Test it out:

    $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#emailForm').bootstrapValidator({
                feedbackIcons: {
                    valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
                    invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
                    validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
                },
                fields: {
                    email: {
                        validators: {
                            notEmpty: {
                                message: 'Email is required and cannot be empty'
                            },
                            emailAddress: {
                                message: 'The value is not a valid email address'
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            });
});
