Validation of Event Title, Date, and Time Fields: Ensuring a Smooth Create Event Experience

As a user, you want to create events on the GreenCityEvent platform with ease, but you also want to ensure that the information you provide is accurate and complete. In this article, we will delve into the validation of event title, date, and time fields, exploring the acceptance criteria and user story behind this feature.

The Importance of Validation

Validation is a crucial aspect of any online application, including the GreenCityEvent platform. It ensures that users provide accurate and complete information, which in turn helps to prevent errors and inconsistencies. In the context of creating events, validation is particularly important, as it helps to prevent users from creating events with incorrect or incomplete information.

Preconditions for Creating an Event

Before we dive into the validation criteria, let's outline the preconditions for creating an event on the GreenCityEvent platform:

  1. User Authorization: The user must be authorized to access the create event page.
  2. Access to Create Event Page: The user must be able to access the create event page.

Acceptance Criteria for Event Title Field

The event title field is a critical component of creating an event on the GreenCityEvent platform. Here are the acceptance criteria for this field:

  1. Empty Title Field: If the title field is empty, the user should not be able to create the event. The title field should be displayed in an error style to indicate that it is required.
  2. Title Field Length: If the title field exceeds 70 characters, the user should not be able to create the event. The title field should be displayed in an error style to indicate that it has exceeded the maximum length.

Acceptance Criteria for Date Field

The date field is another essential component of creating an event on the GreenCityEvent platform. Here are the acceptance criteria for this field:

  1. Empty Date Field: If the date field is empty, the user should not be able to create the event. The date field should be displayed in an error style to indicate that it is required.
  2. Invalid Date Format: If the date field is not in the correct format, the user should not be able to create the event. The date field should be displayed in an error style to indicate that it is invalid.
  3. Past Date: If the user attempts to create an event with a past date, they should not be able to do so. The date field should be displayed in an error style to indicate that it is invalid.

Acceptance Criteria for Time Fields

The time fields, including start time and end time, are critical components of creating an event on the GreenCityEvent platform. Here are the acceptance criteria for these fields:

  1. Empty Time Fields: If either the start time or end time field is empty, the user should not be able to create the event. The time fields should be displayed in an error style to indicate that they are required.
  2. Invalid Time Format: If either the start time or end time field is not in the correct format, the user should not be able to create the event. The time fields should be displayed in an error style to indicate that they are invalid.

Additional Validation Criteria

In addition to the above acceptance criteria, there are a few more validation criteria that to be considered:

  1. Duplicate Event Dates: The user should not be able to create an event with the same date for two days within one event. An error message should be displayed to indicate that this is not allowed.
  2. Updates: The user should not be able to create an event with the same date for two days within one event. An error message should be displayed to indicate that this is not allowed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the validation of event title, date, and time fields is a critical component of creating events on the GreenCityEvent platform. By ensuring that users provide accurate and complete information, we can prevent errors and inconsistencies, and provide a smoother experience for users.
