Backbone validateAll - backbone.js

Question

Question 1
I'm trying to add a form validation using the following link.
https://github.com/gfranko/Backbone.validateAll/blob/master/demos/index.html
The sample code is working perfectly. But in my case I have a form with corresponding View, when I click on the submit button how can I validate?
In my View's initialize() I have added the following code to enable validation for the fields.
var user = new User;
$('input').each(function() {
new Field({el: this, model: user});
});
this.model.set({route: formData.route}, {validate: true, validateAll: false});
But it is not validating.
My idea is validate a form with backbone and submit to PHP.
Using the code in the link how can I achieve it?
Question 2
I tried some other kind fo validations, Model save() error callback is not working for it.
this.model.save({route:formData.route}, {
error: function(){
console.log('error!!!'); // Not showing for failed validation
},
success: function(){
console.log('success!!!!!');
}
});
What could be the reason?

Answer 1

The main ideia is you have validators to perform when you set something on Model.
To do that, you'll need a code like this:
For example inside the model, you can check if the attribute has some value.
validation:
route : [
required: true
]
setNewValue:->
#set("route":"AnyValue")
The validation function will validate all the rules before the value be attached on model.
keep on mind that it's really important do this kind of thing inside your model. Avoiding your views to have theses rules.
To perform the validation before you save, try to add.
postData:->
validateModel = true
if #isValid(validateModel)
#save()....
