# validate method

void validate([

1. ValidationMode validationMode = ValidationMode.strictRFC4122,
2. bool noDashes = false

])

validate() validates the internal string representation of the uuid. Optionally, you can provide a `validationMode` to use when validating the uuid string. Throws FormatException if the UUID is invalid.

## Implementation

    void validate(
        [ValidationMode validationMode = ValidationMode.strictRFC4122,
        bool noDashes = false]) {
      UuidValidation.isValidOrThrow(
          fromString: uuid, validationMode: validationMode, noDashes: noDashes);
    }
