-
-```js
-user.isValid(function (valid) {
-    if (!valid) {
-        console.log(user.errors);
-        // => hash of errors
-        // => {

-#### loopback.ValidationError
-
-`ValidationError` is raised when the application attempts to save an invalid
-model instance.
-
-Example:
-
-```js
-{
-  "name": "ValidationError",
-  "status": 422,
-  "message": "The Model instance is not valid. \
-     See `details` property of the error object for more info.",
-  "statusCode": 422,
-  "details": {
-    "context": "user",
-    "codes": {
-      "password": [
-        "presence"
-      ],
-      "email": [
-        "uniqueness"
-      ]
-    },
-    "messages": {
-      "password": [
-        "can't be blank"
-      ],
-      "email": [
-        "Email already exists"
-      ]
-    }
-  },

-
-You might run into situations where you need to raise a validation error
-yourself, for example in a "before" hook or a custom model method.
-
-```js
-MyModel.prototype.preflight = function(changes, callback) {
-  // Update properties, do not save to db
-  for (var key in changes) {
-    model[key] = changes[key];
-  }
-
-  if (model.isValid()) {
-    return callback(null, { success: true });
-  }
-
-  // This line shows how to create a ValidationError
-  err = new ValidationError(model);
-  callback(err);
-}
-```
