Confirmation
You should use this validator when you have two text fields that should receive exactly the same content.
For example, you may want to confirm an email address or a password. This validator doesnt have to be created on an attribute defined in your model.
This means that when you save your model, in this case, verfiedEmail will not be part of the payload.
// Example
email: validator('format', {
type: 'email'
})
verifiedEmail: validator('confirmation', {
on: 'email',
message: 'do not match',
description: 'Email addresses'
})

options
Used by all pre-defined validators to build an error message that is present
in validators/message or declared in your i18n solution.
If we extended our default messages to include uniqueUsername: '{username} already exists',
we can use this method to generate our error message.
validate(value, options) {
var exists = false;
options.description = 'Username';
options.username = value;
// check with server if username exists...
if(exists) {
return this.createErrorMessage('uniqueUsername', value, options);
}
return true;
}
If we input johndoe and that username already exists, the returned message would be 'johndoe already exists'.
