The DataGrid allows you to validate user input. You can apply pre-defined validation rules or custom rules to individual columns.

In this demo, the following rules are used:

  • required
    Specifies that cells should not be empty.
  • pattern
    Specifies a pattern that cell values should match.
  • email
    Specifies that cell values match the Email pattern.
  • async
    Specifies custom validation parameters that are used to validate a value on the server.

For more information on these and other validation rules, refer to the following documentation section: Validation Rules.
