How can I get the form validated with AJAX?

I’m building pretty simple forms loaded with AJAX and displayed with Foundation Reveal. I can get the form submission to work with AJAX, and update the markup inside the reveal, but with the AJAX-powered submission button, the validation method is not executed.

Why? How can I get the form validated with AJAX?

I just want the normal form validation process, where I can add my own validation to ::validateForm and then pass control to my AJAX form submission handler.

$form['submit'] = [   '#type' => 'submit',   '#value' => 'Tallenna',   '#ajax' => [     'callback' => '::ajaxFormSubmitHandler'   ] ]; 

I tried with $form['#validate'] = array('::validateForm');, but it doesn’t work. I also tried calling Form::validateForm($form, $form_state) in the submission handler with the following code.

Form::validateForm($form, $form_state); if ($form_state->hasAnyErrors()) {   $form_state->setRebuild();   $errors = $form_state->getErrors();   return($form); } else {   $form_state->setRebuild(FALSE); } 

I can set up the callback for a single element.

$form['field_asiakkaan_nimi'] = [   '#type' => 'textfield',   '#title' => $this->t('Asiakkaan nimi'),   '#required' => TRUE,   '#ajax' => [     'callback' => array($this, 'validateNimiAjax'),     'event' => 'change',   ],   '#suffix' => '<span class="nimi-valid-message"></span>' ]; 

I can use that callback for the field processing.

  public function validateNimiAjax(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {     $response = new AjaxResponse();     $message = 'Nimi validoitu!';     $response->addCommand(new HtmlCommand('.nimi-valid-message', $message));     return $response;   } 

This doesn’t seem to be the proper way to go about this.

I am also getting this error:

The form has become outdated. Copy any unsaved work in the form below and then reload this page.
