jQuery Button - Validate and Submit an HTML Form
Commonly, editors nested into an HTML form are supposed to be validated on the client and then submitted to the server. The Button UI component supports this scenario out of the box. Place the Button on the HTML form and set the useSubmitBehavior property to true.

export default App;Note that the name property of the TextBox UI components in the previous code specifies the name attribute of the underlying <input> element.
DevExtreme editors may belong to different validation groups. To specify which group the Button must validate, use the validationGroup property. If you do not set this property, the Button validates all editors whose validation group is not specified.
NOTE
Although the Button may validate different validation groups, it always submits a definite HTML form - the one in which it is nested. To avoid mixing up validated and submitted values, we recommend that a single HTML form contain only a single validation group.
