How to write a validator kind of view?

[Patrick Mulder]

Hi,

just wondering if anyone has ideas how to approach the following view pattern.

A small form is used for validating the existence of data. For example, if a certain address / credit card no / ... is allowed.

So, I have two views:

* Input view: (validator)

* Result view

And one model:

* Account

Now, I wonder how I could wire up the result of the validation. So far, I have:

define([

  'view',

  'models/account',

  'views/accounts/show',

  'hbs!templates/accounts/valid'

], function (View, Account, ShowView, template) {

  return View.extend({

    name: 'accounts/valid',

    template: template,

    events: {

      'submit': 'validate'

    },

    validate: function(ev) {

      ev.preventDefault();

      var address = $("input[name='address']").val();

      var account = new Account({address: address });

      var show = new ShowView({model: account, el: $("#result")});

      show.render();

    }

  });

});

But somehow, the way to render the result of the validation should be managed by events. or?

Sorry if sounding confusing, probably, I am too tired, and should stop hacking :)

Thanks for feedback anyway,

Patrick
