In the Fluent Validation docs There is an example
public class PeopleController : Controller {
public ActionResult Create() {
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(Person person) {
if(! ModelState.IsValid) { // re-render the view when validation failed.
// How do I get the Validator error messages here?
return View("Create", person);
}
TempData["notice"] = "Person successfully created";
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
}
public class Person {
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
Where the validator has been set up as
public class PersonValidator : AbstractValidator<Person> {
public PersonValidator() {
RuleFor(x => x.Id).NotNull();
RuleFor(x => x.Name).Length(0, 10);
RuleFor(x => x.Email).EmailAddress();
RuleFor(x => x.Age).InclusiveBetween(18, 60);
}
}
Suppose a validation fails. How can I access the Validation Error from within the Create method?
I ask because I am using FluentValidation with an API and need a way for the API to communicate validation errors.
