IntermediateQuick Answer

Key Takeaways

  • Field-level validation covers required fields, min/max length, regex patterns, and allowed value lists
  • Document-level validation handles cross-field rules and conditional requirements (e.g., "if type is X, field Y is required")
  • Custom validation functions let you run async checks, including calls to external APIs
  • Validation should surface errors in real time as editors type, not only on save
  • Distinguish between hard errors (block save) and warnings (allow save with notice)
