Element only validation (webix 3.0.8)

Webix JS
1

I’m trying the “Validation by API” snippet shown in “Data Validation Webix Docs” but only could replicate the whole form case. What I’m seeing is that any validation rule defined for a component in the form rules prop does not propagate to the _settings.validate component prop, am I right? If so, the docs should state the following:

//either validate the whole form

{ view:“text”, name: “fname”, on:{
“onChange”:function(){
this.getParentView().validate();
}}
}
:
rules: { fname: function() {} }

//or validate this element when validate method is supplied

{ view:“text”, name: “fname”, validate: function(){}, on:{
“onChange”:function(){
this.validate();
}}
}

Found similar thread and Helga’s explanation for the expected behaviour. So, maybe the Webix docs cause a bit confusion. Thanks in advanced

Well, I should agree that the documentation needs an update.

If you validate an input separately, the code will look only into its own validation rule, but not in common form rules.

I agree. Thanks a lot
