# Validation timing (realtime · async · server)

_Index card — the docs below are the canonical explanation; deep-tier pattern pages additionally carry invariants and emulation notes._

**Category:** Forms & Validation · **Tier:** light · **Risk:** low — client/server validation only

Demonstrates the three Superforms validation timing strategies: realtime (oninput), debounced async server checks, and onblur/server-only validation.

**When to use:** Use when deciding how aggressively a field should validate, e.g. instant feedback vs. debounced async server checks vs. submit-time only.
