Вот мой взлом "старой школы" ...
Ниже служебная функция, которая позволяет использовать «асинхронные» проверки с библиотекой «jquery.validate.js». Эта функция создает задержку между пользовательскими нажатиями клавиш, в противном случае функция проверки «validFunc» будет вызываться «все время», что в некоторых случаях не очень эффективно и особенно проблематично для функций, которые выполняют проверки на «серверной стороне» / «бэкэнде» (в основном ajax вызывает ). Таким образом, функция проверки validFunc вызывается только тогда, когда пользователь перестает печатать в течение определенного периода времени, что также позволяет выполнять проверку в реальном времени ("onkeyup": true в настройках jqv), как это происходит во время ввода текста пользователем.
ВАЖНО: Проверки, включающие использование функции "jqvAsyncValid", всегда должны быть последними, чтобы избежать конфликтов с другими из-за асинхронности.
