    Hi Kumar,

    To validate field in salesforce lightning,go through the following code:

    Component:

    <aura:component >

    <aura:attribute name="AccountAtt" type="Account" default="{'sobjectType':'Account',
    'Name':''}"/>
    <ui:inputText aura:id="AccName" value="{!v.AccountAtt.Name}"/>
    <ui:button label="Submit" press="{!c.SubmitButton}"/>

    </aura:component>

    jsController:

    ({
    SubmitButton : function(component, event, helper) {
    var name=component.find("AccName");
    var AccName=name.get("v.value");
    if($A.util.isEmpty(AccName)){
    name.set("v.errors", [{message:"Input not valid: " + AccName}]);

    }
    }
    })

    Hope this will help you,

    Thanks

    This is a validation rule for 'Account name is not empty' right?

    Thanks, I will implement this for my lightning form.

    It works flawlessly! Thanks

    I used this in a helper for my JS controller, here is my code:

    Component:

    <aura:component controller ="CampingListController">

    <aura:attribute name="items" type="Camping_Item__c[]"/>
    <aura:attribute name="newItem" type="Camping_Item__c"
    default="{ 'sobjectType': 'Camping_Item__c',
    'Name': '',
    'Packed__c': false }"/>

    <aura:handler name="init" action="{!c.doInit}" value="{!this}"/>

    <div class="slds-col slds-col--padded slds-p-top--large">
    <div aria-labelledby="newcampingitemform">

    <!-- BOXED AREA -->
    <fieldset class="slds-box slds-theme--default slds-container--small">

    <legend id="newcampingitemform" class="slds-text-heading--small
    slds-p-vertical--medium">
    Add Camping Item
    </legend>

    <!-- CREATE NEW EXPENSE FORM -->
    <form class="slds-form--stacked">

    <div class="slds-form-element slds-is-required">
    <div class="slds-form-element__control">
    <ui:inputText aura:id="campname" label="Camping Item Name"

    labelClass="slds-form-element__label"
    value="{!v.newItem.Name}"
    required="true"/>
    </div>
    </div>

    <div class="slds-form-element slds-is-required">
    <div class="slds-form-element__control">
    <ui:inputNumber aura:id="quantity" label="Quantity"

    value="{!v.newItem.Quantity__c}"
    required="true"/>

    </div>
    </div>

    <div class="slds-form-element">
    <div class="slds-form-element__control">

    <!-- / CREATE NEW EXPENSE FORM -->

    </fieldset>
    <!-- / BOXED AREA -->

    </div>
    <!-- / CREATE NEW EXPENSE -->

    </div>

    JS Controller Method:

    saveItem: function(component, event, helper) {

    if(helper.validateCampingItem(component)){
    // Create the new expense
    var newItem = component.get("v.newItem");
    helper.createItem(component, newItem);
    }

    Helper Method:

    validateCampingItem : function(component) {
    var validRecord = true;

    // Name must not be blank
    var nameField = component.find("campname");
    var campname = nameField.get("v.value");
    if ($A.util.isEmpty(campname)){
    validRecord = false;
    nameField.set("v.errors", [{message:"Camping name can't be blank."}]);
    }
    else {

    var quantityField = component.find("quantity");

    }

    else {

    PhoneField.set("v.errors",null);

    }

    },

    handleError:function(cmp,event,helper){
