To give a concrete example, one thing I long for is client-side versions of
all the validators that are validating based only on the form (that is, the
"shape") of the data. A validator for something like a phone number or
email address is just looking at the textual structure of the data, and it
would be nice for that to be done client side and show a nice error ("enter
a valid email" or whatever) before the form is ever submitted. This would
not replace server-side validation, and some kinds of checks can only be
done server side (e.g., if you want to make sure the address is not just
syntactically valid but actually exists in the DB). But having client-side
validators built in (and known to be equivalent/compatible with the
server-side ones) would be really nice.
