Answer 1

Be sure to know custom validations are php functions and not convert as javascript to validate in runtime .. those will work after the page has submit and send to controller ..

here is simple sample you want :

              ['qty','custom_function_validation'],



        ];
    }



 public function custom_function_validation($attribute, $params){
     if($this->$attribute>5){
        $this->addError($attribute,'it\'s more than 5');
     }
}

Answer 2

To create a validator that supports client-side validation, you should implement the yii\validators\Validator::clientValidateAttribute() method which returns a piece of JavaScript code that performs the validation on the client-side.

public function clientValidateAttribute($model, $attribute, $view)
{
    return <<<JS
// your validation
JS;
}

See the documentation here: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-input-validation.html#implementing-client-side-validation

Use method addError() in a controller and then just render your view file

Example

    if ($promo_code) {
        if ($promo_code->status == '1') {
            $message = 'This combination is incorrect.';
            $model->addError('promo_code', $message);
            return $this->render('index', compact('model'));
        }
        $promo_code->status = '1';
        $promo_code->save();
        $model->save();
    }
