validate()

validate is one of the core functions provided by vee-validate, it allows you to run arbitrary async validation. It does not have a dependency on Vue.js so you can use it your JavaScript, for more information, see the Advanced: Programmatic Validation.

Signature

For the signature or the typings of the validate function, see validate() in source code.

Example

validate(password, 'required|confirmed:@confirmation', {
  name: 'Password',
  values: {
    confirmation
  }
}).then(result => {
  if (result.valid) {
    // Do something!
  }
});

Rules

Although you are not required to import the rest of vee-validate exported members, you still need to extend the rules that you will use with the validate() function. For more information on adding rules, see Guide: Basics - Adding Rules.
