Validating repeating inputs inside an AngularJS form - angularjs

I know this has been asked before, and have even found a well-upvoted answer here:
How to validate inputs dynamically created using ng-repeat, ng-show (angular)
But I can't get that solution to work. I've got an example here - annoyingly both jsFiddle and Plunkr seem to be down right now.
Here's the JS:
app.controller('DetailsCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.loading = false;
$scope.formData = {
lines: [{
text: 'test.com'}]
};
$scope.addRow = function() {
$scope.formData.lines.push({text:null});
};
}]);
Here's the markup:
<body ng-controller="DetailsCtrl">
<div>
<form name="mainForm" novalidate class="form-vertical">
...some non-repeating inputs go in here...
<div data-ng-repeat="line in formData.lines" data-ng-form="lineForm">
<input type="text" name="myinput" data-ng-model="line.text" data-ng-required="true">
<span data-ng-show="mainForm.lineForm.myinput.$error.required">Error!</span>
</div>
New Line
</form>
</div>
</body>
You'll notice initially there is one text input with text in - great. Click the 'New Line' link. Because the new text input fails validation - BOTH text inputs get the warning span shown... I just want the one span relating to the one empty text input to show up.

As AngularJS relays on input names to expose validation errors, and you used the same name for all inputs, you faced with this effect.
So you can't generate input name dynamically, but instead you can use ng-form (see https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngForm).
<form name="mainForm" novalidate class="form-vertical">...some non-repeating inputs go in here...
<div data-ng-repeat="line in formData.lines" data-ng-form="lineForm">
<input type="text" name="myinput" data-ng-model="line.text" data-ng-required="true">
<span data-ng-show="lineForm.myinput.$error.required">Error!</span>
</div> New Line
</form>
EDIT. Please note, access to error myinput.$error.required instead of lineForm.myinput.$error.required.
Please, checkout working fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/Y9g4q/7/.

Angular: Disable button on click after required fields are filled in the form

I need to disable the submit button after clicking on the button to prevent multiple submissions but before the it has to ensure that the required fields are filled.
I tried
<body ng-app="ngToggle">
<div ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<form name="newUserForm">
<input type="text" required>
<input type="text" required>
<input type="text">
<button ng-click="disableClick()" ng-disabled="isDisabled"
ng-model="isDisabled">Disable ng-click</button>
</form>
</div>
</body>
angular.module('ngToggle', [])
.controller('AppCtrl',['$scope', function($scope){
$scope.isDisabled = false;
$scope.disableClick = function() {
alert("Clicked!");
$scope.isDisabled = true;
return false;
}
}]);
but this will only disable the button without any validation
Ok, I get what you mean/want so I'll try to help and come up with some code - which is obviously missing but if it wasn't missing the necessary code, you'd have the solution :)
First, you'll have to properly write your form:
<form name="newUserForm" ng-submit="disableClick(newUserForm.$valid)" novalidate>
<input type="text" name="input1" ng-model="form.input1" required>
<input type="text" name="input2" ng-model="form.input2" required>
<input type="text" name="input3" ng-model="form.input3"> //not required
<button type="submit" ng-disabled="isDisabled">Disable ng-click</button>
</form>
so what we've got here, which you're missing:
You did name your form, but you're missing a submit, in the form as ng-submit or the button with type="submit", which will submit the form and that's when the validation happens
In order for Angular to validate your inputs, they need to have ng-model, otherwise it will not validate (HTML5 validation would, but read on)
I've added novalidate so we tell the browser "Hey, we need this validated but not by you, so do nothing", and Angular takes over
And last but not least, Angular adds a couple of properties to the form (see more here: Angular form Docs), $valid being one of them, which is set to true when all validated inputs are valid.
So this sums up the changes you needed to do to your form.
As for the Javascript part, there is just one small change:
$scope.disableClick = function(valid) {
if(valid && !$scope.isDisabled) {
$scope.isDisabled = true;
}
return false;
}
I guess the change is obvious, but I'll explain anyway - check that newUserForm.$valid (boolean) and if it's true (meaning form has passed validation) disable this button.
Of course, you'll have to add checks not to run the code on any type of submits and not just disabling the button (which can easily be re-enabled via Dev Tools), so that's why I added !$scope.isDisabled to the if statement.
Hope this answers your question :)
P.S. Here's a running demo in Plunker

Angular validation (can't reach controller if required fields are empty)

I'm trying to implement validation for a form using Angular 1.1.1 and Ionic.
There are many "wallets" and the user needs to send a new "value" to each of the wallet. There's also a specified previous value of the wallet. The validation should check if all the input field are filled out and if the new value is bigger than previous.
My form (index.html):
<form name="myForm" ng-submit="sendValues(wallets)" ng-controller="valuesCtrl">
<div class="row" ng-repeat="wallet in wallets">
<div class="col item item-input-inset">
<label class="item-input-wrapper item-text-wrap">
<input name="wallet_{{wallet.id}}" type="number" ng-model="wallet.value" type="text" required/>
</label>
<span ng-show="myForm.wallet_{{item.id}}.$error.required">!!!</span>
</div>
<div class="col item">{{ wallet.previous }}</div>
</div>
<button class="button" type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
It results in always showing "!!!" error for empty input even if the user haven't already submitted the form. I tried to use $scope.myForm.submitted=true; in the controller but the problem is it reaches the controller only if all the fields are filled out.
My controller (values.js):
'Use Strict';
angular.module('App')
.controller('valuesCtrl', function($scope, $localStorage, UserService, $state) {
$scope.sendValues = function(wallets){
debugger;
...
})
Can anyone help me to figure out why I can't see the debugger window if not all the fields are with info?
Can you suggest how to make a custom validation? (new value should be bigger than previous)
It results in always showing "!!!" error for empty input even if the user haven't already submitted the form?
Your ng-show should be
ng-show="myForm.$submitted==true && myForm.wallet_{{item.id}}.$error.required"
and form should be have novalidate attribute if you want custom validation
<form name="myForm" ng-submit="sendValues(wallets)" novalidate>
otherwise it will do default html validation
I tried to use $scope.myForm.submitted=true; in the controller but the problem is it reaches the controller only if all the fields are filled out
Its because ng-submit will validate for true condition($valid==true) for every form control element .
If it is filled and valid data then only form $valid flag is set to true otherwise not.In case $valid==true,you will able to submit the form and function in controller get fired
you can use
<input type="submit" ng-click="sendValues(wallets)" value="Save" />
if you want to submit the form without validation and want to do validation in controller

Why does angular keep showing false when input is touched?

I am new to angular. I have set up the following code to see if an input field has been touched. However when i type on the input field. It doesn't change. Just keeps showing false.
Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Any help would be really appreciated it.
<div ng-app='myApp' ng-form name="myForm">
<input type='text' name='address' ng-model="address" id='address'>
<h1> {{myForm.address.$touched}}</h1>
</div>
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp",[]);
</script>
$touched in AngularJS jargon doesn't mean "was the value changed". That's $dirty's role.
$touched in AngularJS means that the field was blurred (that is, the field isn't selected anymore).
See it in action at plnkr.co.

Form validation with modals in Angular

I have a form inside a modal pop up. I am trying to run form validation on the inputs after the user attempts to submit the form. So far, I'm struggling to make things work.
In my view, I have the following (sorry if there are any syntax errors, I'm converting this from jade on the fly):
<script type="text/ng-template", id="modalVideoNew">
<div class="ngdialog-message">
<form class="form-horizontal" ng-submit="submitForm()" novalidate name="newVideoForm">
...
<div class="form-group">
<label> Title </label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" name="title", required='', ng-model="newVideoForm.title">
<span class="text-danger" ng-show="validateInput('newVideoForm.title', 'required')"> This field is required</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</script>
And then in my controller, where I'm calling the ng-dialog pop up, I have this:
$scope.newVideo = function() {
ngDialog.openConfirm({
template: 'modalVideoNew',
className: 'ngdialog-theme-default',
scope: $scope
}).then(function() {
$scope.validateInput = function(name, type) {
var input = $scope.newVideoForm[name];
return (input.$dirty || $scope.submitted) && input.$error[type];
};
var newVideo = $scope.newVideoForm;
...
Right now, I am still able to submit the form, but once I open it back up I see the 'This field is required' error message. Also, the input is pre-filled with [object, Object] instead of an empty text input box.
A way of cleaning your model would work with using a model var that belongs to your parent controller and cleaning it in the callback. Check out how the template has attached your parent controller's var FormData.
Check this out
So about your validation, what I would recommend you is to have your own controller in it, no matter how much code it will have. It helps you keeping concepts of modularization and a better control over your scopes. This way will also facilitate a lot when validating.

Show ? in textbox when textbox have ng-pattern for numeric validation

I need to show '?' when the value not able to read from scanner which returns me value by including '?'
Let say document has sr no as '123' but let say for some reason scanner not able to read it then it returns me as "12?" or "???" or "?23" or "1?3"
If any digit which is not readable that need to corrected by user manually for that i need to show them in to the textbox.
In our application we are using angularjs validations, which are not allowing me to show above values inside textbox as it contains '?' which is not numeric value.
Also I should enforce the numeric validation so that user can correct the above and submit to the server.
So how we achieve this functionality ?
<div ng-app ng-controller="formCtrl">
<form name="myForm" ng-submit="onSubmit()">
<input type="text" ng-model="price" name="price_field" ng-pattern="/^[0-9]{1,7}$/" required>
<span ng-show="myForm.price_field.$error.pattern">Not a valid number!</span>
<input ng-show="toggle" type="submit" value="submit"/>
<input ng-show="!toggle" type="button" ng-click="AfterProcessing()" value="After Processing"/>
<input type="button" value="Reset" ng-click="reset()"/>
<br/>
<span>Activity : {{message}}</span>
</form>
</div>
JS code
function formCtrl($scope){
$scope.price= "123";
$scope.toggle = false;
$scope.message="No Activity";
$scope.onSubmit = function(){
$scope.toggle=false;
$scope.message="onSubmit clicked...";
}
$scope.AfterProcessing = function(){
$scope.toggle=true;
$scope.price ="1?3";
$scope.message="AfterProcessing clicked...";
}
$scope.reset=function()
{
$scope.toggle=false;
$scope.price ="123";
$scope.message="Reset clicked...";
}
}
I have created sample as below.
Plz check on JsFiddle sample

You need to create a CSS Class that will be applied to text box. Using :before and :after pseudo css construct, you can add ? character and get desired result.
So,
1. Define a CSS Class with :before and/or :after as per your requirement
2. On the HTML, use ng-class="{'your-class': $error, 'regular-class': '$pristine'}"
Let me know if you need a code sample and a plunker. (I am at the end of the day. May be will provide some code tomorrow. )
If you can create a plnkr based on above and submit link here, more people would be able to help you. thanks.
