Make a louder error for on /requesters/new if phone field isn't formatted correctly

• Right now it's a silent error if you've added something to the field, but it doesn't have the ddd-ddd-dddd format

Same is for email

I would like to try and work on this, but I'm stuck because I don't have any log in credentials. What's the default way to log in locally for testing purposes? There must be something obvious that I'm missing.. 😅

Also, what exactly do you mean by "louder error"? Do you mean on the form as direct user feedback, or in the backend tests?

@laser-shark As described here https://docs.dev.to/backend/authentication/ you need to log in with Github or Twitter

And as for louder error - it's for user feedback - currently there's no visible validation message about required format in the app and user won't know why the submit button doesn't do anything - I only saw 422 in the logs. So basically, you need to pass the Rails validation error to the user interface via JS.

Also, same happens for invalid email. The only validation visible is if some required fields are not filled in.
