Capture value from Input field - angularjs

Question

I'm trying to get the value from one of the input fields in my form, but my code isn't working:
JavaScript:
angular
.module('myDirectives')
.directive('pwMatch', matchPassword);
function matchPassword() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
require: 'ngModel',
link: function (scope, element, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
var modelIt = attrs.pwMatch;
var inputValue = attrs.modelIt;
console.log(inputValue);
}
};
};
HTML:
<input name="telephone" type="number" value="223344455">
<div pw-match="form.telephone"></div>

Answer 1

If you are trying to get the value of an input, use ng-model.
<input ng-model="form.telephone" type="number" value="223344455">
<div pw-match input-name="form.telephone"></div>
And if you want to get that value in a directive using a name on an attribute, use the$watch method on the scope.
JS
angular.module('myDirectives',[])
.directive('pwMatch', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
scope.$watch(attrs.inputName, function(value) (
var inputValue = value;
console.log(inputValue);
};
}
}
});

.module('myDirectives')
needs to be
.module('myDirectives', [])
Even though you have no dependencies, you have to have the empty array.
Also, it's a really bad idea™ to use a variable function as a directive or something, it's just going to confuse you.
This works, too, and might make your application a bit easier to maintain:
angular.module('myDirectives', [])
.directive('pwMatch', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
require: 'ngModel',
link: function (scope, element, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
var modelIt = attrs.pwMatch;
var inputValue = attrs.modelIt;
console.log(inputValue);
}
}
});
