validate that fields match

[keeganstothert]

I cannot validate that two fields match (password/verify password, etc) because the validators are only run for the individual fields. Is there a way to trigger validation across all fields or even to manually set invalid state so i can manage it myself?

this would be great,
setFieldValidity('fieldName', false)

Hi @keeganstothert – I don't believe it's currently possible to trigger validation across all fields because validation requires a change/blur event that is only available when a user interact with an input. This library also falls back to HTML5 validation if a custom validate function isn't specified, but that also (currently) requires access to the DOM node which is only accessible via the change/blur event itself.

That said, I think it might be actually possible to expose something like setFieldValidity so that you can manage the validation state manually! I'll look into that soon! 👍 In the meantime, could you please give me an example of how something like setFieldValidity would solve your use case (validating matching fields)?
