# Custom Virtus value to "standardize" the newline characters within strings
# that are sent through user entered forms. This strips out the carriage
# return characters from the strings in order to avoid validation mismatches
# with the string lengths between the frontend and the backend.
#
# This type should be used with forms that have:
# - A user input defined with the <textarea> element
# - The input element having the `maxlength` attribute defined for it
# - The backend having a maximum length validation for the input
class CleanString < Virtus::Attribute
# When using Windows or copying texts from existing documents, the text
# can contain the carriage return characters (\r) that the front-end
# character counter does not consider as actual characters. This happens
# because the character counter currently counts the characters using
# jQuery's `$input.val()` method which strips out the carriage return
# characters as explained at:
# https://api.jquery.com/val/
#
# Note: At present, using .val() on <textarea> elements strips carriage
# return characters from the browser-reported value.
#
# The backend, on the other hand, calculates these as characters as they
# are included in the data that gets sent to the server. In order to fix
# this mismatch, remove the carriage return characters from the text
# using this attribute type.
