"when": {

"field": "validate_next_field",
"eq": "1"
}
}

Custom Validator Functions

{"rule":"custom", "func":"customValidator"}
Validates a value against a custom validation function of your own. The one used here requires you type the word custom into the text field.
{"rule":"custom", "func":"customAsynchronousValidator", "async":"true"}
Validates a value against a custom validation function of your own. The async property tells Valid8r that your function uses AJAX to perform validation, and to skip it when validating the form onSubmit.
