2k Views Asked by user3267064 At 01 August 2018 at 07:46

I am very much new in angular js.I want to validate and post the form data using angular js on submit.I searched google but most of them was disable the button on load ,after completing the form with valid data the button enable but I want to show error messages on form submit.

Here is My form snapshoot

I have tested with two text fields one is name and other is email but I want to proper messages for each fields e.g for email,phone no (valid format) and empty fields now I get only empty field message.

 <span class="error-message"
 ng-show="showMessage(frmReg.name)">
 Please complete this field.</span>

var app=angular.module('regForm',[]);

app.controller('FormController',function($scope,$http){
    $scope.frmRegField={};

    $scope.frmSubmit=function(){
        angular.forEach($scope.frmReg.$error.required, function(field) {
          field.$setDirty();
        });

        // $http({
            // method:"POST",
            // url:"form_submit.php",
            // data:$scope.frmRegField
            // }).success(function(data){

            // });
    };

    $scope.showMessage=function(input){
        console.log(input.$$attr.name);
         var show = input.$invalid && (input.$dirty || input.$touched);
         return show;

    };
});

You could use either class or state to do what you need

Input fields have the following states:

$untouched The field has not been touched yet
$touched The field has been touched
$pristine The field has not been modified yet
$dirty The field has been modified
$invalid The field content is not valid
$valid The field content is valid

They are all properties of the input field, and are either true or false.

Forms have the following states:

$pristine No fields have been modified yet
$dirty One or more have been modified
$invalid The form content is not valid
$valid The form content is valid
$submitted The form is submitted

The following classes are added to, or removed from, input fields:

ng-untouched The field has not been touched yet
ng-touched The field has been touched
ng-pristine The field has not been modified yet
ng-dirty The field has been modified
ng-valid The field content is valid
ng-invalid The field content is not valid
ng-valid-key One key for each validation. Example: ng-valid-required, useful when there are more than one thing that must be validated
ng-invalid-key Example: ng-invalid-required

The following classes are added to, or removed from, forms:

ng-pristine No fields has not been modified yet
ng-dirty One or more fields has been modified
ng-valid The form content is valid
ng-invalid The form content is not valid
ng-valid-key One key for each validation. Example: ng-valid-required, useful when there are more than one thing that must be validated
ng-invalid-key Example: ng-invalid-required

The classes are removed if the value they represent is false.

Give the form a name:

<form name="myForm">

And a name for the input to:

<input type="text" name="myName">

Then use ng-show/ng-if in your span:

<span class="error-message" ng-show="myForm.myName.$touched && myForm.myName.$invalid">
 Please complete this field.
</span>

You can use ng-disabled to validate submit too:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" ng-disabled="myForm.$invalid">

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I had the same problem trying to validate a from for creating a new user with four fiels: firstName, lastName, age and emailAddress.

I tried to use the $invalid default state, but it does not feel the correct format of an email address: {some characters}@{some characters}.{some characters}.

So I was able to solve it with ng-pattern. Here a snippet of my code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>  
<body ng-app="">
<form name="newUserModalForm">
 <div>
  <input type="text" name="Name" placeholder="firstName" ng-model="new_first_name_modal" ng-pattern="/^[a-zA-Z ,.'-]+$/" required>


            <span style="color:Red" ng-show="newUserModalForm.Name.$error.required"> Required! </span>
            <span style="color:Red" ng-show="newUserModalForm.Name.$dirty && newUserModalForm.Name.$error.pattern"> Invalid name! </span>

        </div>
        <div>
            <input type="text" name="Surname" placeholder="lastName" ng-model="new_last_name_modal" ng-pattern="/^[a-zA-Z ,.'-]+$/" required>
            <span style="color:Red" ng-show="newUserModalForm.Surname.$error.required"> Required! </span>
            <span style="color:Red" ng-show="newUserModalForm.Surname.$dirty && newUserModalForm.Surname.$error.pattern"> Invalid surname! </span>

        </div>
        <div>
            <input type="text" name="Age" placeholder="Age" ng-model="new_age_modal" ng-pattern="/^[0-9]{1,3}$/" required>
            <span style="color:Red" ng-show="newUserModalForm.Age.$error.required"> Required! </span>
            <span style="color:Red" ng-show="newUserModalForm.Age.$dirty && newUserModalForm.Age.$error.pattern"> Insert
                a valid age! </span>

        </div>
        <div>
            <input type="text" name="Email" placeholder="Email" ng-model="new_email_modal"
                ng-pattern="/^[\w-]+(\.[\w-]+)*@([a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*?\.[a-z]{2,6}|(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})(:\d{4})?$/"
                required>
            <span style="color:Red" ng-show="newUserModalForm.Email.$error.required"> Required! </span>
            <span style="color:Red" ng-show="newUserModalForm.Email.$dirty && newUserModalForm.Email.$error.pattern">
                Insert a valid email address! </span>
        </div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I used regular expressions for validating the input fields.

Name and surname: ^[a-zA-Z ,.'-]+$. It matches all names with all letters, also uppercase, no numbers and characters like . ' and - .

Age: ^[0-9]{1,3}$. It matches all numbers, max 3 digit.

Email:^[\w-]+(.[\w-]+)@([a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)?.[a-z]{2,6}|(\d{1,3}.){3}\d{1,3})(:\d{4})?$. I found this here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/42452767/18420603
