The point is that server-side validation is absolutely essential. Client-side validations are beneficial but not strictly necessary. It's something that needs to be pointed out again and again due to the fact that so many vulnerabilities are created by leaving validation to the client. | |

Regarding integration with the MVC framework, that might work fine for projects that use razor views. In the question I mentioned I use next.js/react.js so this won't work for me. | |

Server-side validations are only for the developer and for security purposes in case someone tries to forge requests manually and client-side are for UX and to decrease the number of server requests. | |
