var LoginFormView = Marionette.FormView.extend({

    el: '#formContainer',

    //define form fields
    fields: {
        email: {
            el: ".email",
            required: "Please enter a valid Email Address.",
            validations: {
                email: "Please enter a valid Email Address."
            }
        },
        password: {
            el: ".password",
            required: "Please enter your password.",
            validations: {
                password: "Please enter a valid Password."
            }
        }
    },

    //custom validation rules
    rules: {
        password: function(val) {
            return /^['a-zA-Z]+$/.test(val);
        }
    },

    //handle successful submissions
    onSubmit: function(evt) {
        evt.preventDefault();
    },

    //handle validation failures
    onSubmitFail: function(errors) {

    }
});
