Merge Validation Rules After Initialization

[jwize]

Initialization of the Kendo validator in shared file
I am initializing my validator without rules from a shared file. I need to then add some rules for a separate file only when that file is used.

var validatable = form.kendoValidator({
    validateOnBlur: false
}).data("kendoValidator");

I need to add rules in a separate file that isn't shared
The following code needs to be added from the separate file

{
            rules: {
                radio: function(input) {
                    if (input.filter("[type=radio]") && input.attr("required")) {
                        return $("form").find("[name=" + input.attr("name") + "]").is(":checked");
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            },
            messages: {
                radio: "Please select a status"
            }
        }

How can I merge these rules to the existing validator validation code when that files is included?

Hello Jamie,

I am afraid that what you would like to achieve is not supported out of the box. Custom validation rules are defined once, during the initialization of the component. It is possible only to customise the existing validation messages by attaching data-[rule]-msg attribute to the corresponding input elements.
