Synchronous realtime validation

Posted on by gmanuki

Hi I'm using the Portal WebAPI to perform some real-time validation on duplicate contacts based on the entered email address. This is working, but the call is asynchronous and does not return in time when it is called before clicking the submit button. Is there any other method that is Synchronous that i could use for this?

This validation has to happen before the submit button is pressed on an entity form since im using entityFormClientValidate function

Regards Gary

You could disable the Submit button as the form loads (via JavaScript/JQuery) and then re-enable it after you have processed the results

Microsoft generally want you to make asynchronous calls and use promises (and the code samples provided by MSFT will follow this pattern), however technically you should be able to make a synchronous call as you are really just making an Ajax call - (however, I think in your case disabling the button is probably more appropriate).
