Hi,

When I save a model, I want to validate its contents; I use a validator and a protected array of $rules. This works perfectly fine.

However, once saved I also need to trigger some updates. Other models, caches, the works.

So when I do this:

$result = $newAccount->save();

The trigger kicks in. If the trigger returns false because something fails, that's ok. But I cannot access the validation errors. I just get back false. So I'm forced to do this in two steps; first validate, then fire the trigger. Which could still return false.

Is there a way to combine this?

$result = $newAccount->save();
if($result) {
    //redirect
} else {
    // somehow get the validation errors
    // send back with input
}
