Form validation not working

helper('form');
$validator = new \CodeIgniter\Form\Validator();

I get a class not found error for Validator. I take it this is not the way to do it but the docs do it this way.

Er, the docs don't do it your way... https://bcit-ci.github.io/CodeIgniter4/l...he-library

Code:

$validator = \Config\Services::validation();

The tutorial does it differently. https://bcit-ci.github.io/CodeIgniter4/t...items.html

Simpler is always better
