Aurelia Validation not working with object properties

aurelia

Solution

The solution was to move ValidationRules into the class `constructor()` and change the last line to `on(this.calendar)`. I also needed to remove the `calendar.` from each of the ensure rules.

ValidationRules
  .ensure('cal_name_orig').required().minLength(5).maxLength(20)
  .ensure('cal_name_tran').required().minLength(5).maxLength(20)
  .on(this.calendar);

Problem

I can't get Aurelia-Validate to work on the fields in my calendar record. calendar.html (excerpt) ``` <form> <div class="form-group"> <label class="control-label" for="cal_name_orig">Calendar name</label> <input type="text" class="form-control" id="cal_name_orig" value.bind="calendar.cal_name_orig & validate"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label class="control-label" for="cal_name_tran">Translated name</label> <input type="text" class="form-control" id="cal_name_tran" value.bind="calendar.cal_name_tran & validate"> </div> </form> ``` calendars.js (simplified): ``` import { inject, NewInstance } from 'aurelia-dependency-injection'; import { ValidationController, ValidationRules } from 'aurelia-validation'; import { BootstrapFormRenderer } from '../../common/bootstrap-form-renderer'; @inject(NewInstance.of(ValidationController)) export class CalendarForm { controller = null; constructor(controller) { this.controller = controller; this.controller.addRenderer(new BootstrapFormRenderer()); this.calendar = { cal_name_orig = "", cal_name_tran = "" } } validateCalendar() { let v = this.controller.validate(); console.log(v); } } ValidationRules .ensure('calendar.cal_name_orig').required().minLength(5).maxLength(20) .ensure('calendar.cal_name_tran').minLength(5).maxLength(20) .on(CalendarForm); ``` If I change `value.bind="calendar.cal_name_orig & validate"` to `value.bind="cal_name_orig & validate"` and `.ensure('calendar.cal_name_orig')` to `.ensure('cal_name_orig')`, the validation works and renders on the form (but the data doesn't bind to the right part of the data in this class. How can I get Aurelia Validate to recognize calendar.cal_name_orig?
