Data-Dismiss: How to dismiss bootstrap modal inside function

Question

I have a modal in which I need to validate some input using knockout validation. When I click the submit button, a function is called that validates the data. The following functionality is expected:

• If the validation fails, the modal stays open and the validation reason is displayed.
• If the validation succeeds, I want to close the modal.

How can I go about closing the modal inside my function?
