Compare values

[name:ComparatorValidator], [message=validatorMessage], [minLength=NUMBER], [minLengthErrMsg=minLengthErrorMessage], [maxLength=NUMBER],[maxLengthErrMsg=maxLengthErrorMessage], [inputType=INPUTTYPE],[NUMBERErrMsg=numberErrorMessage], [TEXTErrMsg=textErrorMessage], [TEXTNUMBERErrMsg=textNumberErrorMessage],[EMAILErrMsg=emailErrorMessage], [REGEXErrMsg=regexErrorMessage], [inputTypeErrMsg=inputTypeErrorMessage], [pattern=pattern]]

Example

message=@string/validationError - validation error message

minLength=2 - min length

maxLength=8 - max length

inputType=NUMBER - input type

NUMBERErrMsg=@string/numberError - number error message

maxLengthErrMsg=@string/lengthError - length error message

⤷ [name:TextValidator], [message=@string/validationError], [minLength=2], [maxLength=8], [inputType=NUMBER], [NUMBERErrMsg=@string/numberError], [maxLengthErrMsg=@string/lengthError]
