Validating With Failures

In cbValidation 1.5 we introduced the validateOrFail() function. This function works in similar manner to the validate() method, but instead of giving you the results object, it throws an exception.

Incoming Target

Validation Fails

Result

Object

false

Returns the same object

Object

true

Throws ValidationException

Struct

false

Returns the structure with ONLY the fields that were validated from the constraints

Struct

true

Throws ValidationException

Exception Extended Info

So your validation fails, where are the results? In the exception structure under the extendedInfo key. We store the validation results as JSON in the extended info and then you can use them for display purposes:

try{
    validateOrFail( target );
    service.save( target );
} catch( ValidationException e  ){
    return {
        "error" : true,
        "validationErrors" : deserializeJSON( e.extendedInfo )
    };
}
