Using Contact Form Required Fields

Contact Form Required Fields using Contact Form’s onBeforeSend event to check for required fields on a Form entry. The entry’s id must be included in the posted variables as formId and hashed.

The plugin expects the entry to have a Matrix field with a fieldBlocks handle and each required block to have a label field that’s used as the message key when submitted with the form (i.e. <input type="text" name="message[field.label]") and a required field that’s a Lightswitch.

In this plugin’s current state, it isn’t flexible, so it’s probably best to use it as an example and modify to fit your needs.
