Vuetify: how to check if a form is valid without showing the errors with validate()?

Question

I have a form. I still want the form to lazy validate, so everytime I leave a field it should show if it is wrong or correct. BUT at some point I have a method that has to check if the entire form is valid. But when I used validate() it shows all the errors. I could use resetValidate() but that would just remove all errors, even from the filled fields. Any suggestions?

MWE from Vuetify page:

<template>
  <validation-observer
    ref="observer"
    v-slot="{ invalid }"
  >
    <form @submit.prevent="submit">
      <validation-provider
        v-slot="{ errors }"
        name="Name"
        rules="required|max:10"
      >
        <v-text-field
          v-model="name"
          :counter="10"
          :error-messages="errors"
          label="Name"
          required
        ></v-text-field>
      </validation-provider>
      <validation-provider
        v-slot="{ errors }"
        name="phoneNumber"
        :rules="{
          required: true,
          digits: 7,
          regex: '^(71|72|74|76|81|82|84|85|86|87|88|89)\\d{5}$'
        }"
      >
        <v-text-field
          v-model="phoneNumber"
          :counter="7"
          :error-messages="errors"
          label="Phone Number"
          required
        ></v-text-field>
      </validation-provider>
      <validation-provider
        v-slot="{ errors }"
        name="email"
        rules="required|email"
      >
        <v-text-field
          v-model="email"
          :error-messages="errors"
          label="E-mail"
          required
        ></v-text-field>
      </validation-provider>
      <validation-provider
        v-slot="{ errors }"
        name="select"
        rules="required"
      >
        <v-select
          v-model="select"
          :items="items"
          :error-messages="errors"
          label="Select"
          data-vv-name="select"
          required
        ></v-select>
      </validation-provider>
      <validation-provider
        v-slot="{ errors }"
        rules="required"
        name="checkbox"
      >
        <v-checkbox
          v-model="checkbox"
          :error-messages="errors"
          value="1"
          label="Option"
          type="checkbox"
          required
        ></v-checkbox>
      </validation-provider>

      <v-btn
        class="mr-4"
        type="submit"
        :disabled="invalid"
      >
        submit
      </v-btn>
      <v-btn @click="clear">
        clear
      </v-btn>
    </form>
  </validation-observer>
</template>

<script>
  import { required, digits, email, max, regex } from 'vee-validate/dist/rules'
  import { extend, ValidationObserver, ValidationProvider, setInteractionMode } from 'vee-validate'

  setInteractionMode('eager')

  extend('digits', {
    ...digits,
    message: '{_field_} needs to be {length} digits. ({_value_})',
  })

  extend('required', {
    ...required,
    message: '{_field_} can not be empty',
  })

  extend('max', {
    ...max,
    message: '{_field_} may not be greater than {length} characters',
  })

  extend('regex', {
    ...regex,
    message: '{_field_} {_value_} does not match {regex}',
  })

  extend('email', {
    ...email,
    message: 'Email must be valid',
  })

  export default {
    components: {
      ValidationProvider,
      ValidationObserver,
    },
    data: () => ({
      name: '',
      phoneNumber: '',
      email: '',
      select: null,
      items: [
        'Item 1',
        'Item 2',
        'Item 3',
        'Item 4',
      ],
      checkbox: null,
    }),

    methods: {
      submit () {
        v = this.$refs.observer.validate()
        console.log("isValid" + v)
      },
      clear () {
        this.name = ''
        this.phoneNumber = ''
        this.email = ''
        this.select = null
        this.checkbox = null
        this.$refs.observer.reset()
      },
    },
  }
</script>

How to rewrite the submit button so it checks the entire form without adding or removing errors?
