  • Usage

    • How to use:

      Validate elements for repetition of characters

    • Single element:

      Validation on a single element:

      bitsyCode(".repetition_field").repetition();
    • Multiple elements:

      Validating multiple elements, comma separated: eg. (#element-id , .element-class)

      bitsyCode(".repetition_field_1, .repetition_field_2").repetition();

  • Options

    • What options are there:
      max: 2 (default value) // Specify maximum amount of times a charater can consecutively repeat before becoming repetition.
    • Example usage:
      bitsyCode(".repetition_field").repetition({ max:3 });

  • Returns

    • Returns:

      There are 2 types of returns.

    • Single element:
      Return: boolean (true or false)   // Returns true if repetition is found otherwise false is returned.
    • Multiple elements:
      Return: [ ]   // Returns an array, of true or false in element sequence.

      Example returned object:

      Array [ true, false ]
