I am working on a project and i need to add simple way to validate client side form then I moved to jQuery validation plugin. I play around some basic stuff, but I struggle when it make as this

So far I have done that much

        <body>
        <form id="default-register-user" method="POST" action="index.php">
            <div class="form-row">
                <div class="col-md-4 mb-3">
                    <label for="validationServer01">First name</label>
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="validationServer01" placeholder="First name" 
                    required name="fname">
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-4 mb-3">
                    <label for="validationServer02">Email</label>
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="validationServer02" placeholder="Last name" required name="lname" minlength="4">
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-4 mb-3">
                    <label for="validationServerUsername">Username</label>
                    <div class="input-group">
                        <div class="input-group-prepend">
                            <span class="input-group-text" id="inputGroupPrepend3">@</span>
                        </div>
                        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="validationServerUsername" placeholder="Username" aria-describedby="inputGroupPrepend3"
                            required name="username">
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Submit form</button>

                        rules: {
                            lfname: {
                                required: true,
                                minlength: 5,
                                maxlength: 20
                            },
                            lname: {
                                required: true,
                                minlength: 5,
                                maxlength: 20
                            },
                            username: {
                                required: true,
                                minlength: 6,
                                maxlength: 25
                            }
                        }
                    });
                });
            </script>
        </form>
    </body>

I need to add

Little message down the input field it is valid or invalid input
Need to put green or red border around input field when it is valid or invalid

How can I improve this, and would someone explain how it works? I just searched the web and I found how to it with Bootstrap 3, but some class are change and need extra jQuery for it.

Thank you.!

the Parsley jquery plugin does the same. You can play with my fiddle here :

https://jsfiddle.net/djibe89/tu0ap111/

 // Parsley plugin initialization with tweaks to style Parsley for Bootstrap 4

 $("#my-form").parsley({

   errorClass: 'is-invalid text-danger',

   successClass: 'is-valid', // Comment this option if you don't want the field to become green when valid. Recommended in Google material design to prevent too many hints for user experience. Only report when a field is wrong.

   errorsWrapper: '<span class="form-text text-danger"></span>',

   errorTemplate: '<span></span>',

   trigger: 'change'

 }) /* If you want to validate fields right after page loading, just add this here : .validate()*/ ;

 // Parsley full doc is avalailable here : https://github.com/guillaumepotier/Parsley.js/
