I dont think it is good to validate through javascript unless it is a
very simple thing and not really data saving related.

In DHIS2, we have this clientside validation without any server
validation. The STQC guys have found only few, but as a pattern we
lack that in our design. Im sure the security testing guys are going 2
find more bugs with validation.

So i suggest unless its a UI thing we should avoid javascript validation.
