I have a situation in which I am asking users to enter a site name into a text field with the following rules:
- no spaces
- only lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, and dashes
I would like to validate their input and provide feedback if they don't follow the rules. I believe that the "Field Validation" module for Drupal would provide this service. Just checking to see if there is any option for this in Backdrop CMS core or contrib?

Ah, I was pretty sure I started down this path before.
Some work has been put into porting the field_validation module for Backdrop CMS.
https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/field_validation
But, it's not yet stabile enough to be used or for a release.
I even opened an issue a few months back:
https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/field_validation/issues
I'll try to find some time to work on this module, but would appreciate any help.
I'm a little hesitant to share this code, because I'm still testing it. But, this seems to be meeting my basic need right now (for anyone interested). I expect, I'll need to tweak the RegEx validation over time.
It would still be really nice to get the field validation module working...
