This project is looking for one or more maintainers. This mostly involves triaging issues, reviewing pull requests, and occasionally fixing bugs or finishing a feature implementation. If you're interested, please get in touch.
Prebuilt files can be downloaded from http://jqueryvalidation.org/
The unreleased development files can be obtained by:

- Setup the build
- Run
gruntto create the built files in the "dist" directory
Include jQuery and the plugin on a page. Then select a form to validate and call the validate method.
<form>
<input required>
</form>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script>
$("form").validate();
</script>Alternatively include jQuery and the plugin via requirejs in your module.
define(["jquery", "jquery.validate"], function( $ ) {
$("form").validate();
});For more information on how to setup a rules and customizations, check the documentation.
See the Contributing Guidelines for details.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT EMAIL VALIDATION. As of version 1.12.0 this plugin is using the same regular expression that the HTML5 specification suggests for browsers to use. We will follow their lead and use the same check. If you think the specification is wrong, please report the issue to them. If you have different requirements, consider using a custom method. In case you need to adjust the built-in validation regular expression patterns, please follow the documentation.
