A pattern I have (idea from Vuetify) is pretty easy:
new Vue({
el: "#app",
data: {
isFormValid: null,
form: {
input_1: {
text: null,
rules: ['required', 'min3'],
validateText: null
},
input_2: {
text: null,
rules: ['required'],
validateText: null
}
},
rules: {
required: v => !!v && !![...v].length || 'This field is required.',
min3: v => !!v && !!([...v].length > 2) || 'This field must be at least 3 characters long.'
}
},
methods: {
validateForm() {
const validated = []
for (let key in this.form) {
const v = this.form[key].rules.map(e => {
return this.rules[e](this.form[key].text)
})
if (v.some(e => e !== true)) {
this.form[key].validateText = v.filter(e => e !== true)[0]
validated.push(false)
} else {
this.form[key].validateText = "This field is valid."
validated.push(true)
}
}
return validated.every(e => e === true)
},
submitForm() {
if (this.validateForm()) {
// submit logic
this.isFormValid = "Yes, it's valid."
} else {
// not valid logic:
this.isFormValid = "No, it's not valid."
}
},
resetValidation() {
const form = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this.form))
for (let key in form) {
form[key].validateText = null
}
this.isFormValid = null
this.form = form
},
resetForm() {
const form = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this.form))
for (let key in form) {
form[key].validateText = null
form[key].text = null
}
this.isFormValid = null
this.form = form
}
}
})

<button type="submit" @click.prevent="submitForm">

</form>

<button @click="resetForm">RESET FORM</button>
</div>
This way you don't have to put up with the HTML5 "bubbles", but can still validate your form - in any way you need. You can compose any validation scheme you want by using functions that go over your input text. You could even come up with regexp validation, pattern validation (like phone numbers), etc. It's not the greatest solution, but quite "pluggable".
This is also supposed to be cross-platform (if you use Vue).
