Global Options

To change default options globally, you can use the $scope.$validationOptions. These global options can be defined for both the Directive and/or the Service.

For more details about the ControllerAs option, please refer to the Wiki - ControllerAs Syntax

######Directive/Service

myApp.controller('Ctrl', function ($scope, validationService) {
  $scope.$validationOptions = { 
    // use the ControllerAs syntax
    controllerAs: vm,

    // set the debounce globally
    debounce: 1500,
    
    // display only last error message on each input element (false by default)
    // for example if 3 errors are on the element, only the last message would show up
    displayOnlyLastErrorMsg: false,

    // set which scope Angular-Validation will use
    // mainly used by $validationSummary and by checkFormValidity(), resetForm(), removeValidator()
    isolatedScope: $scope,         

    // pre-validate all form elements, false by default
    preValidateFormElements: false 
  }; 
});

---

All of these options can also be defined using the Service.

######Service Only

myApp.controller('Ctrl', function ($scope, validationService) {
  // start by creating the service
  var myValidation = new validationService();

  // define the scope and isolatedScope, the scope property always needs to be there
  myValidation.setGlobalOptions({ 
    // use the ControllerAs syntax
    controllerAs: vm,

    // set the debounce globally  
    debounce: 1500, 

    // display only last error message on each input element (false by default)
    // for example if 3 errors are on the element, only the last message would show up
    displayOnlyLastErrorMsg: false,

    // set which scope Angular-Validation will use, mainly for $validationSummary and checkFormValidity()
    // scope & isolatedScope are equivalent but scope is mandatory while isolatedScope is not, so it is suggested to just use scope:
    scope: $scope, 
    isolatedScope: $scope, 

    // pre-validate all form elements, false by default
    preValidateFormElements: false 
  });

});
