validate() method

Validate all fields

It might be used when you want to validate the form manually when pressing given button.

validate(): Promise

If you want the form to be validated automatically when pressing its Submit button, use the SubmitButton plugin

Using the global script in the browser

const fv = FormValidation.formValidation(
    document.getElementById('demoForm'),
    {
        ...
    }
);

// Validate the form when click on a link or normal button
fv
    .validate()
    .then(function(status) {
        // status can be one of the following value
        // 'NotValidated': The form is not yet validated
        // 'Valid': The form is valid
        // 'Invalid': The form is invalid
        ...
    });
