Meteor autoform simple-schema: how to customize validation message?

meteor, meteor-autoform, node.js, validation

Solution

You can override the message object of your schema like:

mySimpleSchemaInstance.messages({
  "regex": "Your Zip Code can only be numeric and should have 5 characters"
})

Problem

I have this schema: ``` Users = new Meteor.Collection('users', { schema: { firstname: { type: String, label: "First name", max:50 }, lastname: { type: String, label: "Last name", max:50 }, email: { type: String, label: "E-mail", regEx: SimpleSchema.RegEx.Email, optional: false, max:50 }, tel: { type: String, label: "Phone", optional: false, max:50 }, zip: { type: String, label: "Zip code", optional: false, regEx: /^[0-9]{5}$/, max:50 }, city: { type: String, label: "City", optional: false, max:50 }, } }); ``` In my template, I use Autoform like so: ``` <template name="userSubmit"> {{> quickForm collection="Users" id="insertUserForm" type="insert" validation="blur"}} </template> ``` I would like to customize the error message for the Zip code. Instead of having "Doesn't comply with regular expression", I would like to have: "Your Zip Code can only be numeric and should have 5 characters" How can I do this?
