Return #

The validate function returns a promise, and if relevant, default values are applied to the provided request.

If a validation error occurs, the behavior depends on the validation optional parameter:

  • false (default): the promise is rejected with the first error encountered
  • true: the promise is resolved even if the validation fails. The promise resolves a validation status report, containing the following properties:
    • validation: {boolean} validation state
    • errorMessages: {array} the exhaustive list of encountered errors
