Validation using the dataSource schema model in a ListView

[Shane]

I'm having issues setting up validation on the dataSource's schema.model.fields object. I am following the documentation at: http://www.kendoui.com/documentation/framework/datasource/configuration.aspx as a guide.  It seems that the validation never fires.
 Below is the data source's schema property:
model: {
                id: "ID",
                fields: {
                    Name: {
                        editable: true,
                        nullable: true,
                        validation : {
                            required:true,
                            customRule: function(input){alert('bad data');}
                        }
                    }
                } 
I would expect that this would mark the field as required, and prevent the form from submitting and then also pop up an alert. 

I have created a jsfiddle with some sample code at:

any guidance on what I have wrong would be most appreciated.

Hi Shane,

As the ListView is using templates, you should manually decorate the html elements with the appropriate validation attributes. An example of how to use ListView widget editing can be found here.

The link above to appropriate validation attributes is no longer valid.

Hi Lee,

You could take a look at the linked ListView Editing Demo - https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/listview/editing

If you inspect the source (click on 'View source' tab) you will notice the following attribtues: required="required" validationMessage="required"

The attributes are needed to perform the validation. If you try to remove the above mention attributes, the respective field will not be required. Here is a Dojo example where a record without a Product Name can be added to the ListView.

Thanks for the information Rosen.  Does this mean that it is not possible to combine using a template and the model property of a schema in a ListView?  I was hoping to keep a separation between the validation code and the html, and generate the validation code for the model by using the DataAnnotations on my .Net model.

Thanks,

Hi Shane,

I'm afraid that as the developer is in charge of template creation, elements cannot be automatically decorated using the model definition.
