Disable client side form validation in ASP.NET Core

Question

How can I disable client-side form validation in my ASP.NET Core 1.1 app? But I need the server-side one.

You do this in your ConfigureServices class in your Startup file:

services.AddMvc().AddViewOptions(options => 
    options.HtmlHelperOptions.ClientValidationEnabled = false);

This will work for the attributes generated by tag helpers.

@Octopus in my case is working properly on the first try. Are you sure about the Startup.cs configuration?

@T-moty this has been solved in a recent update of .Net Core, so probably you use such a version. See github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/7576

you just remove the javascript for jquery.unobtrusive.validation.js

In the VS project templates that is in _ValidationScriptsPartial.cshtml

This solves part of the problem but still generates the data-val attributes instead of maxlength, required, etc.

In Razor Pages

services.Configure<HtmlHelperOptions>(o => o.ClientValidationEnabled = false);
