Clearing or resetting a knockout validation validatedObservable?

Question

I have a view model as such:

var prop1 = ko.observable().extend{ required: true },
    prop2 = ko.observable().extend{ req         


        

Answer 1

When using a validated observable, I found out that you can call validatedObservable.errors.showAllMessages(false) after you have cleared the observable, which is behaving the way I was expecting in my application.

Answer 2

You cannot reset on the validatedObservable level but you can call clearError on the individual properties:

vm.reset();
console.log(vm.validation.isValid()); // output: false
prop1.clearError();
prop2.clearError();
console.log(vm.validation.isValid()); // output: true

Demo JSFiddle.

Note: It only works with a "recent" version of the validation plugin so the clearError is not included in the CDNJS and Nuget version of plugin. My JSFiddle demo uses the latest version (9fd5a4d2da) from GitHub.
