Using CascadeMode.StopOnFirstFailure on a validator level

Question

From the FluentValidation documentation I learned that I can abort validation by setting the cascade mode.

RuleFor(x => x.Surname)
.Cascade(CascadeMode.StopOn         


        

Answer 1

According to the JeremyS' answer, I have misunderstood the purpose of the CascadeMode. It is in fact not intended to have effect on a validator level but only within a rule.

Answer 2

You can set CascadeMode at the global level by setting

ValidatorOptions.CascadeMode = CascadeMode.StopOnFirstFailure;

or at property level by

RuleFor(x => x.PropertyName)
    .Cascade(CascadeMode.StopOnFirstFailure)
