How to bootstrap 5 form validation works

Here's how Bootstrap 5 form validation works:

• CSS's two pseudo-classes which are the ": invalid" and ":valid" use to validate HTML forms. It applies to the elements <input>, <select>, and <textarea>.
• Bootstrap 5 applies the ":invalid" and ":valid" styles to the parent "was-validated" class. The "was-validated" class often associates with the <form> element. Every necessary field without a value is displayed as invalid upon page load. Thus, we can select validation after form submission.
• After submission, the ".was-validated" class removes validation from the <form> element to reset the form's appearance.
• As a fallback, the ".is-invalid" and the ".is-valid" classes may be used for server-side validation instead of the pseudo-classes.
• Due to CSS limitations, it is currently unable to apply styles to a DOM <label> that precedes a form control without using custom JavaScript.
• The constraint validation API, a collection of JavaScript methods for validating form controls, is supported by all modern browsers.
• Feedback messages may use either the browser defaults or our bespoke feedback styles with additional HTML and CSS.
• JavaScript's setCustomvalidity function allows for custom validation messages.
