Installation

$ npm install --save @github/auto-check-element

Usage

import '@github/auto-check-element'

<auto-check src="/signup_check/username" csrf="<%= authenticity_token_for("/signup_check/username") %>">
 <input>
</auto-check>

Provide a URL and a CSRF token and the autocheck component will show validation confirmations and validation errors.

The endpoint should respond to POST requests with:

• a 200 HTTP status code if the provided value if valid.
• a 422 HTTP status code if the provided value is invalid.
• a optional error message in the body and a Content-Type header with a value of text/html; fragment.

const check = document.querySelector('auto-check')

// Network request lifecycle events.
check.addEventListener('loadstart', function(event) {
  console.log('Network request started', event)

check.addEventListener('loadend', function(event) {
  console.log('Network request complete', event)
