Public API for checking form/field validity

[chrisdpratt]

Perhaps I missed it, but there doesn't seem to be a way to manually check form/field validity such as exists in jQuery Validation (form.validate(), form.valid(), etc.). The following method exists in the source:

/**
 * Returns a Promise that returns validation result for each and every inputs within the form.
 * @param formUID 
 */
private getFormValidationTask(formUID: string) {
    let formInputUIDs = this.formInputs[formUID];
    if (!formInputUIDs || formInputUIDs.length === 0) {
        return null;
    }

    let formValidators: Validator[] = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < formInputUIDs.length; i++) {
        let inputUID = formInputUIDs[i];
        formValidators.push(this.validators[inputUID]);
    }

    let tasks = formValidators.map(factory => factory());
    return Promise.all(tasks).then(result => result.every(e => e));
}

However, it's private and seems to only support automatic validation on submit. In certain scenarios is necessary to handle the submit event manually and check the form validity before proceeding.

Makes sense, sure.

I'll look into it next week (or two).

Hello,

I apologize for the very late delay. I have not found time to add your feature request due to an upcoming once-in-a-lifetime personal event.

I will be gone for another 4 weeks. I'll try to find time to add the feature after that.

No worries. I have a workaround. It just requires persisting the validator in a global, which is kind of icky. I appreciate the effort.
