Angular 2 with parsley.js validation can't block the submit button - angularjs

Question

I have questions about submit button. Now I can use the parsley validation in the form and it works perfectly. However, when user clicks submit button which binds with angular, and if there is an invalid input in the form, my app can't stop executing the click function. All the validations then become useless.
I don't want to use the angular built-in validation since parsely.js can handle so many input situations. The following is my codes:
apply-page.ts
import {RouteParams,Router,ROUTER_DIRECTIVES} from '#angular/router-deprecated';
import {Component, ViewEncapsulation} from '#angular/core';
import {Widget} from '../../core/widget/widget';
import {DropzoneDemo} from '../../components/dropzone/dropzone';
import {HolderJs} from '../../components/holderjs/holderjs';
import {NKDatetime} from 'ng2-datetime/ng2-datetime';
import {Autosize} from 'angular2-autosize/angular2-autosize';
import {AlertComponent} from 'ng2-bootstrap/components/alert';
// import models
import {PersonalInfo} from './model/personal-info';
import {Job} from '../model/job';
import {JobService} from '../job-service';
import {NgForm} from '#angular/common';
declare var jQuery: any;
#Component({
directives: [
ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, Widget, DropzoneDemo, HolderJs, NKDatetime, Autosize, AlertComponent,
EducationForm, ExperienceForm
],
selector: '[apply-page]',
host: {
class: 'apply-page app'
},
template: require('./apply-page.html'),
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
styles: [require('./apply-page.scss'), require('../login-page.scss'), require('./forms-validation.scss')]
})
export class ApplyPage {
colorOptions: Object = {color: '#f0b518'};
sliderValueOptions: Array<number> = [200, 1547];
personalInfo: PersonalInfo;
extraAddr: string;
job: Job;
constructor(
// the service to get data from mock-data
private jobService: JobService,
private routeParams: RouteParams,
private router:Router
){}
// called only one time at the loading time
ngOnInit(): void {
jQuery('#colorpicker').colorpicker(this.colorOptions);
jQuery('.select2').select2();
jQuery('.js-slider').slider();
jQuery('#markdown').markdown();
jQuery('.selectpicker').selectpicker();
// initialize parsleyjs to validate the input
jQuery('.parsleyjs').parsley();
this.personalInfo = new PersonalInfo();
this.educations = new Array<Education>();
this.experiences = new Array<Experience>();
this.skills = SKILLS;
// fetch the id from url
let id = this.routeParams.get('id');
this.getJob(id);
}
// TODO: submit form to server
onSubmit(){
console.log("on submit");
}

The button is at the bottom of the apply-page.html file. When clicking the button is will call the onSubmit() function in apply-page.ts. Really want to know if there is any solution about it. Thank you.

Answer 1

I've found the way to do that. In ngOnInit(), I should get the instance of parsley by:
// initialize parsleyjs to validate the input
this.instance = jQuery('.parsleyjs').parsley();
Then, in the onSubmit() function:
onSubmit(){
if(this.instance.isValid()){
// TODO: submit form to server
}else {
console.log("do nothing");
}
}
I should figure out how to use jQuery and parsley in angular 2 first and then try to implement them on my app. Hope this will help others. Thank you.
By the way, here is good video about how to use jQuery in angular 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrdHEBkGAow

Answer 2

I think there's a bug in Parsley, sorry. Specify type="submit" in your button and it should work fine.
