I have a large application that is using vee-validate@2.x and Vue@2.7. We are in the process of transitioning to Vue@3 so we are using Vue@2.7 to write new components with the syntax <script setup lang="ts">
In old components we call validation on form submission with this.$validator.validate(). However, $validator is not accessible in the <script setup lang="ts"> components. I have tried creating a new Validator() instance in my new components and using that but it also fails.
How can I set up my application so that the old $validator.validate() calls work and so that I can programmatically run validate in the new Vue2.7 components?
I'm assuming I need to create a validator instance and explicitly inject it but I'm struggling to figure out how: https://vuejs.org/guide/components/provide-inject.html
After a bunch of investigation I've found my best approach is going to be to use a tool like yup for our validation and to simply not use vee-validate for any components that use vue2.7 syntax. yup is used by vee-validate v4 so if desired the upgrade to vee-validate v4 should be easier. However, we are likely going to opt for rolling our own integration between yup and vue rather than using vee-validate moving forward.

I used something like this to turn the yup form validation into a block of errors I can display on the form: Transform Yup validation error into a useable object
