I have a simple form.
<html lang="en" ng-app="MyApp">
<head>
</head>
<body ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<form name="myForm" id="myForm">
<input type="text" ng-model="field" name="myField" />
<div ng-show="myForm.myField.$error" style="color: red">
{{myForm.myField.$error}}
</div>
</form>
<script src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="controller.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
And i have angular controller
angular.module('MyApp',[])
.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.myForm.myField.$error = "just to see it work";
});
Why do I get error '$scope.myForm is undefined'?
You have model, module and controller a little confused. My solutions uses Angular 1.2, although you will soon need to move to Angular 2.
Here is my reworking of your example:
<html lang="en" ng-app="MyApp">
<head>
</head>
<body ng-controller="AppCtrl as ctrl">
<form name="myForm" id="myForm">
<input type="text" ng-model="ctrl.myField" name="myField" />
<div style="color: red">
{{ctrl.myField}}
</div>
</form>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.19/angular.min.js">
</script>
<script src="controller.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
And in the controller.js:
angular.module('MyApp',[])
.controller('AppCtrl', [function() {
this.myField = "just to see it work";
}]);
In the above, I have put "myField" in the scope of the controller "AppCtrl". I have put the whole page under the control of the module 'MyApp'. You can either inject the model with "ng-bind" or use the curly bracket notation in the body of the div to bind to the "myField" model of "ctrl". I have used the latter but be aware this binding will be established after the page has been parsed.
If you load this all now, you should see "just see it work" in red under the text field, and also inside the text field. When you edit the text box, the red text will change in sync. Once you have that working, you will never want to stop learning more about Angular!
I should add that this model has a single attribute. To generalise this you will need to create a model with several properties (one for each input element), so that a JSON object is returned when the form is submitted.
You can't have dots in your variable name.
Try myFormMyFieldError instead of myForm.myField.$error.
Additional: Rather than using the attribute style, use a CSS file.

I have a form that contains different fields : input, select, select multiple, buttons. And I was wondering if it would be a good idea (and actually feasible) to create a component for this form, this component would be like a container that can contains all type of form fields (input, select, button, etc...).
I have put a sample of code on plunker, what I would like to do is to create a component for the form, in which I could insert how many other component I want (button, input, etc..).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="MyApp">
<head>
<link data-require="bootstrap-css#3.3.6" data-semver="3.3.6" rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.css" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.5.6/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="script.js"></script>
<script src="myInput.js"></script>
<script src="myButton.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<div class="container">
<h2>My form</h2>
<form role="form">
<my-input label="Firstname"></my-input>
<my-input label="Lastname"></my-input>
<my-button label="Submit"></my-button>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you are planning to reuse the form in other parts of your code, I would say it would be a good idea to create it as a component.
Otherwise, it's just a matter of preference. Sometimes it can be nice to divide large portions of code into different files.
Edit: Plunker example https://plnkr.co/edit/kyt9Q6L01r06dJXLDQZH?p=preview
<body ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<div class="container">
<my-form></my-form>
</div>
</body>
Edit 2: Updated the Plunker with an example of passing objects as attribute to the form
<body ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<div class="container">
<my-form inputlabels="inputs1"></my-form>
<my-form inputlabels="inputs2"></my-form>
</div>
</body>
If you mark "Yes" to these two questions then you should build a component:
Is it reusable?
Does the form has a unique logic?
I am new to Angular JS. Here is my html :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My App</title>
<script src = "angular.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-app="myApp">
<div ng-controller="index">
{{message}}
</div>
<form>
First Name:<br>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.username">{{user.username}}<br>
Last Name:<br>
<input type="password" ng-model="user.password">
</form>
<script src = "app.js"></script>
<script src = "credentials.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Then I want to initialize some data for username and password :
(function(){
var app=angular.module("myApp",[]);
app.controller("index", ["$scope", function($scope){
$scope.message="Hello, it's me!";
$scope.user={
username: "admin",
password: "admin"
};
}]);
})();
The username and password doesn't get displayed. Why?
You're problem is that you have bound the controller to the div-tag surrounding the {{message}} expression and not the whole block containing the form. If bind your controller to a surrounding element youre code will work as expected.
Here's one way to do this:
<body ng-app="myApp">
<div ng-controller="index">
<div>
{{message}}
</div>
<form>
First Name:<br>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.username">{{user.username}}<br>
Last Name:<br>
<input type="password" ng-model="user.password">
</form>
</div>
</body>
Your controller div is not covering the area where you have user object. controller div must include the code in which you are accessing user object
You can change the code like this
<body ng-app="myApp">
<div ng-controller="index">
{{message}}
<form>
First Name:<br>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.username">{{user.username}}<br>
Last Name:<br>
<input type="password" ng-model="user.password">
</form>
</div>
<script src = "app.js"></script>
<script src = "credentials.js"></script>
</body>
<div ng-app="">
<p>Name: <input type="text" ng-model="name"></p>
<p ng-bind="name"></p>
</div>
as you can see in this example
ng-model directive binds the value of HTML controls (input, select,
textarea) to application data. ng-bind directive binds application
data to the HTML view.
i can see ng-model in your code but there is not ng-bind which actually binds data to your view. probably that is the reason why your code is not displaying username and password.
With the ng-model directive you can bind the value of an input field to a variable created in AngularJS.
You can use the ng-bind directive, which will bind the innerHTML of the element to the specified model property:
ng-model for input elements like input, textarea and ng-bind for h1,label etc.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div ng-controller="index" ng-app="myApp">
<form>
First Name:
<br>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.username">
<br> Last Name:
<br>
<input type="password" ng-model="user.password">
</form>
</div>
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.controller("index", ["$scope", function($scope) {
$scope.user = {
username: "admin",
password: "admin"
};
}]);
</script>
</body>
</html>
As,Venu prasad H S and domyos already suggested , a reply to the comment of M. Ko as i don't have enough reputation to comment,
You have defined the ng-model out of the scope of the controller,
<div ng-controller="index">
{{message}}
</div>
What this does is that your controller can access only the stuff inside this div only, as many others suggested you can put an entire div in the body you can do
<body ng-app="myApp">
<div ng-controller="index">
<div>
{{message}}
</div>
<form>
First Name:<br>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.username">{{user.username}}<br>
Last Name:<br>
<input type="password" ng-model="user.password">
</form>
</div>
As very aptly provided by domyos , now what this does is that your controller can get to your form and you can display the values you desire.
Alternatively you can also but your controller in the body tag with your ng-app
<body ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="index">
but it is recommended that you put it inside a div, you want to do this so that you can have multiple controllers in one module i.e. on ng-app.
Also, try to name controller as "indexCtrl" as in IndexController it is just a naming convention but that makes your code more readable.
Hope you find this information useful.
Use ng-app and ng-controller directives in your HTML page.
Here is link of Plunker for the same.

I'm a newbie to this thing called 'AngularJS' so I got stuck at one point.
Consider the below code sample :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div ng-app="" ng-init="firstName='John'">
<p>Input something in the input box:</p>
<p>Name: <input type="text" ng-bind="firstName"></p>
<p>You wrote: {{ firstName }}</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In above example why can't I bind the value of application variable "firstName" to the HTML input text control usng "ng-bind"?
and suppose I write the code as below :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div ng-app="" ng-init="firstName='John'">
<p>Input something in the input box:</p>
<p>Name: <input type="text" ng-model="firstName"></p>
<p>You wrote: {{ firstName }}</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In above example I can bind the value of application variable "firstName" to the HTML input conrol using "ng-model".
Can someone please clarify me the difference between the above two codes in easy to understand language?
Also, look at below code snippet :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div ng-app="" ng-init="firstName='John'">
<p>The name is <span ng-bind="firstName"></span></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In the above(third) example how could I be able to bind the value of application variable "firstName" to the <p> tag?
Someone please explain me.
Thanks.
ng-bind makes a one way binding between your controller and the view. In this case, the view will only reflect changes made in the controller, but not viceversa. This is the same as using the double brackets notation {{variable}}
In the other hand, ng-model makes a double binding, that is, changes made in the view (normally in an input form), will be accesible automatically in the controller, and changes made in the controller will be updated in the view
check this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12420157/5186787
In regard to the snippet, you could just do:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.0/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller='myController'>
<p>{{firstName}}</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Which implements a one way bind. So, if you have your application defined in this way:
var app=angular.module('myApp',[]);
app.controller('myController', ['$scope',function($scope){
$scope.firstName = 'John Doe';
}]);
It would make a one-way binding between your variable firstName in the controller and the view.
It is better to use controllers for this type of work.
i'm new to angular, so started with very basic example, but this is also not working. so please help me out. below code should write the content of textbox to the page.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head ng-app>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
Name: <input type="text" ng-model="name" />{{name}}
</div>
<script src="/script/angular.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>
ng-app should be inside html or body, inside whichever tags you intend to use angular.
In your code ng-app scope is ending with in head tags only. You haven't used ng-app at root level. You can use it at html or body or main div tag level. And there is no ng-controller in your markup. Of course you can also configure controller through js file also.
You use below code.
HTML
<html ng-app="plunker">
<head>
<script data-require="angular.js#1.3.x" src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.3.14/angular.js" data-semver="1.3.14"> </script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<div class="container">
Name: <input type="text" ng-model="name" />{{name}}
</div>
</body>
</html>
JS
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 'World';
});
ng-app should be in html tag, not head.
put ng-app in tag, not in head tag
Remove ng-app directives which is added to head tag and assign it to html
Input field contains JSON data set from some other script.I have to access in controller.How can I access it in controller.Code I am using something like this-
<html>
<head>
<title>Angular JS Controller</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>AngularJS Sample Application</h2>
<div ng-app="" ng-controller="studentController">
Enter first name: <input class="get" type="text" ng-model="student">
</div>
<script>
function studentController($scope) {
console.log($scope.student);
}
</script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.15/angular.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
With Angular, the controller is who tells the View what the default value should be (not the other way around). The View would reflect that, and could update it (with ng-model), but it is initially set by the controller.
So, the controller knows because the controller sets it up:
.controller("studentController", function($scope){
$scope.student = "default name";
});
