I like to re-trigger validations after the form has mounted. Let's assume I like to run the validations each time I click a button named 'validate inputs'.
How to do this?

Manual redux-form validation is an oft requested feature, that does not seem to be provided at the moment.
My personal workaround is to trigger this.props.change('_validationHack', Date.now())
in the reduxForm
-wrapped component and then remove values._validationHack
in the onSubmit
method before sending the values
to the server.
It's not pretty, but seems to work without exception.
The sync validation is run on every render, so "triggering it" doesn't really have much meaning.
If you would like to use async validation, there is a this.props.asyncValidate()
function that you can call to trigger it.
OR, if you prefer submit validation, you could just submit the form.
According to 28/11/2018:
https://redux-form.com/6.2.1/docs/api/actioncreators.md/
There are actions that you can dispatch for making changes to your form and triggering the validation method.
If you trigger change/touch actions it should execute the validate function.
