Ember-Validations - Don't validate automatically - validation

Question

I am using ember-validations to validate a model in a form.
If I create the record with createRecord the instance of the model is already validated and therefore the form already shows validations errors before the user inputs values.
I just want to validate the model before submitting the form. Is there a way?

Answer 1

You need to add a conditional validator ('if' or 'unless') and activate it only when submitting the form.
Here is a quick example: http://jsbin.com/letujimu/1/edit?html,js,output

Answer 2

There is another alternative to ember-validations. ember-model-validator, with this addon you decide when to validate. By including Ember-model-validator's mixin into your model, this will add a validate function to your model, it is a synchronous function which returns either true or false.
There is support for all these validations:
Presence
Acceptance
Absence
Format
Length
Email
Color
ZipCode
Subdomain
URL
Inclusion
Exclusion
Numericality
Match
Password
CustomValidation
Relations
Example:
// Your model
import Validator from '../mixins/model-validator';
export default DS.Model.extend(Validator, {
email: DS.attr('string'),
password: DS.attr('string'),
passwordConfirmation: DS.attr('string'),
validations: {
email: {
presence: true,
email: { message: 'is not a valid email' }
},
password: {
presence: true,
length: {
minimum: 6
}
},
passwordConfirmation: {
presence: true,
match: 'password'
}
}
});
import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Route.extend(
{
actions: {
saveFakeModel: function() {
var _this = this,
fakeModel = this.get('model');
if(fakeModel.validate()){
fakeModel.save().then(
// Success
function() {
// Alert success
console.log('ooooh yeah we just saved the FakeModel...');
},
// Error handling
function(error) {
// Alert failure
console.log('There was a problem saving the FakeModel...');
console.log(error);
}
);
}else{
fakeModel.get('errors');
}
},
}
}
);
