Parsley field validation event listener

I'm currently trying out Parsley.js, it works pretty good if you ask me however I have a few questions:

  1. What event should I listen to in order to append a glyphicon to the input's parent as soon as the input gets the class parsley-success or parsley-error class? The field:success and field-error events won't get fired without validate().

I tried this for example:

    $('.form-control').on('field:success', function () {
        if ($(this).parent().find('i').length) { //remove favicon if one's present
            $(this).parent().find('i').remove();
        }
        $(this).parent().append('<i class="fa fa-check-circle fa-lg fa-fw"></i>');
    });

but nothing happens when the input get's an error class assigned

  1. Im working with Ninja Forms in my Wordpress install, how would you guys assign the attributes to the inputs? This is not possible within the ui in the backend of NF. Currently I'm adding them with Javascript after the page has loaded but I wonder if this is the best way.
