Validation after first touch

[istrau3]

Is there any support for validation timing. Specifically, coming from an angular background, I am used to showing validations after an input is first touched (meaning it was blurred at least once). I know that I could probably extend the form controls and implement myself in onBlur but I was hoping that it could be implemented in the controls (i.e. a class added to the group) so that anyone could just add the css to take advantage.

Currently it's not supported, but I'll definitely implement it in the near future. Do you need it ASAP, or could you wait for, let's say, a week?

@damiankaminski I could wait a week. What is wrong with the pull request though (Not miffed at all just want to know what is wrong with the implementation for general knowledge).

@istrau3 There's nothing wrong with PR, but it doesn't solve the problem. Validation won't run anyway. It needs to be triggered automatically on blur.

@damiankaminski Hmmm I see. Would it make sense to just auto run the validation when the form loads and then just let the developer modify the css? I mean, if I had all the validation errors as soon as the form loaded and I had a m-touched class on the group I could override the default css and only display it when .m-touched .has-error .form-control

Then, I could also use the submit method to add a .submitted class and show the css then as well...

@istrau3 If you'll run validation on the form load then it will be validated only once. It won't react to any changes. To validate after initial touch it needs to be executed on every blur. That would work and it's simple to implement. The only issue is to provide some configuration. Not everyone might consider this kind of validation as desired. It needs to be an option.

@damiankaminski I see. Ok, makes sense. I will wait on the update then. Thanks for the feedback.
