In the [Github-docs](https://github.com/aurelia/validatejs) of aurelia-validatejs I read that the aurelia-validation package now provides all features out of the box:

> This library has been deprecated. The aurelia-validation library now contains all the components necessary for validation out-of-the-box.

Unfortunately I cannot find any documentation about the “new” validation functions and I have no experience with aurelia-validation because until now I used jquery-validation.

Does anyone have a good documentation for the validation part? I’m especially interested in validation using annotations/decorators like:

```auto
export class User{
    @bindable
    @required("message")
    firstName: string;
}

```

I’m not sure that decorators work with the the new librabry. The docs for it are here [https://aurelia.io/docs/plugins/validation#validation-controller](https://aurelia.io/docs/plugins/validation#validation-controller). It has a few quirks (imo), but works pretty well.
