$this->validation->withRequest($this->request)->run() behavior - donpwinston - 04-20-2017
CI4's $this->validation->withRequest($this->request)->run() behaves differently then CI3's $this->form_validation->run()?
When the page is loaded and no submit button is clicked CI3 will return FALSE. It appears CI4 returns TRUE.
I had to do the following:
if ($this->request->getVar('submitted') == NULL || ! $this->validation->withRequest($this->request)->run())
Is this the way it's supposed to work?

Yes, that's the way it's currently designed. There's a simpler way to use it, though.
From the manual:
Code:
class Form extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
helper(['form', 'url']);
if (! $this->validate($this->request, []))
{
echo view('Signup', [
'validation' => $this->validation
]);
}
else
{
echo view('Success');
}
}
}
