# Data validation

Validation rules can be added as part of your cellData. Below is an example of using `getDataValidation` with `CanvasGrid` to dynamically validate cells.

```tsx
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { SpreadsheetProvider, CanvasGrid } from "@rowsncolumns/spreadsheet";
import { useSpreadsheetState } from "@rowsncolumns/spreadsheet-state";

const MySpreadsheet = () => {
  const [dataValidations, onChangeDataValidations] = useState([
    {
      id: "validation1",
      condition: {
        type: "ONE_OF_LIST",
        values: [
          { userEnteredValue: "Singapore" },
          { userEnteredValue: "USA" },
          { userEnteredValue: "UK" },
        ],
      },
    },
  ]);

  const { getDataValidation } = useSpreadsheetState({
    dataValidations,
    onChangeDataValidations,
  });

  return (
    <CanvasGrid
      getCellData={(sheetId, rowIndex, columnIndex) => {
        if (rowIndex === 2 && columnIndex === 2) {
          return {
            dataValidation: "validation1", // Reference the validation ID
          };
        }
      }}
      getDataValidation={getDataValidation} // Pass the getDataValidation function to CanvasGrid
    />
  );
};

const App = () => (
  <SpreadsheetProvider>
    <MySpreadsheet />
  </SpreadsheetProvider>
);
```

The following validation types are supported:

```typescript
// Supported condition types
export const CONDITION_TYPES = [
  "NUMBER_GREATER",
  "NUMBER_GREATER_THAN_EQ",
  "NUMBER_LESS",
  "NUMBER_LESS_THAN_EQ",
  "NUMBER_EQ",
  "NUMBER_NOT_EQ",
  "NUMBER_BETWEEN",
  "NUMBER_NOT_BETWEEN",
  "TEXT_CONTAINS",
  "TEXT_NOT_CONTAINS",
  "TEXT_STARTS_WITH",
  "TEXT_ENDS_WITH",
  "TEXT_EQ",
  "TEXT_IS_EMAIL",
  "TEXT_IS_URL",
  "DATE_EQ",
  "DATE_BEFORE",
  "DATE_AFTER",
  "DATE_ON_OR_BEFORE",
  "DATE_ON_OR_AFTER",
  "DATE_BETWEEN",
  "DATE_NOT_BETWEEN",
  "DATE_IS_VALID",
  "ONE_OF_RANGE",
  "ONE_OF_LIST",
  "BLANK",
  "NOT_BLANK",
  "CUSTOM_FORMULA",
  "BOOLEAN",
  "TEXT_NOT_EQ",
  "DATE_NOT_EQ",
] as const;
```
