When specifying the maxlength of a field, add attribute maxLength to the element

How would i do this in Knockout validation? When specifying the maxLength of a input through the validation, it will properly validate, but I think it'd be a good idea to add the maxLength attribute to the HTML element itself, which would prevent (in realtime) the user from ever going over the maxLength. (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-maxlength)

This functionality is not build in, so is there any way for me to add some customization to KO validation to achieve the ability to add the maxLength attribute to an input?

Start by tracing how Knockout validation applies the maxlength rule to an input and where validation metadata is associated with the HTML element. Check how the library supports customization, then verify that a configured maximum is reflected as the element's maxLength attribute and still enforces validation.
