[Feature Request] Validations on a nested object.

[pselden]

Is it possible to run validations on a nested object?

For instance.

var paymentInfo = {
   creditCard: {
     number: 45343434343,
     expiration: '01/15'
   }
};

var validator = LGTM.validator()
   .validates('creditCard.number').required('Credit card number is required')
.build();

validator.validate(paymentInfo).then(function() {/*... */);

If not, is there a way to do something like this or do I have to build validations for each part separately and combine the results?

[pselden]

Re the combining part -- something like this maybe would be a nice api?

var creditCardValidator = LGTM.validator()
  .validates('number').required('You must enter a card number')
  .validates('expiration').required('Expiration is required')
.build();

var paymentInfoValidator = LGTM
.validator()
  .validates('creditCard').using(creditCardValidator)
.build();

How to merge the two results together would be an interesting challenge though.

This is an area LGTM could definitely improve. Most commonly at Square the problem that LGTM doesn't solve well is validating repeated child properties, i.e. children whose values are lists of things. How do you think you'd solve such a case?

@pselden Did you find a work around for this? Your second example looks ideal.
