Backbone Validate does not work

Question

I am using Backbone\'s validate function to guarantee Man to have an age property more than 18. Here is my code:

var M         


        

Answer 1

var man = new Man({name : 'qian', age : 12}, {validate : true});

EDIT:

validate method works only in case if you pass an options object with validate param (from 0.9.9 version): https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/blob/master/backbone.js#L539

And it triggers not error event but invalid event
