Disable remote validations on client_side_validations gem

Question

I'm quite pleased with the gem features. However, the current implementation of server-side validations uses synchronous ajax. Thus, I would like to know if these could be disabled application-wide, so I don't have exclude individual validators everywhere in my views, and also to be able to enable them later in case the implementation changes.

Answer 1

It seems it can easily be achieved with something like this:

// seems that the name will change in a future release
var validator = clientSideValidations || ClientSideValidations;
// remove all remote handlers
if (validator) validator.validators.remote = {};

It should be run after rails.validations.js has been executed. If you are concerned in polluting the global namespace, just enclose it in a (function() { ... })() call.
