AngularJS Input Validation

AngularJS forms and controls can validate input data.

Input Validation

In the previous chapter, you learned about AngularJS forms and controls.

AngularJS forms and controls can provide validation services, and notify users of invalid input.

Note Client-side validation cannot alone secure user input. Server side validation is also necessary.

Application Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.26/angular.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<h2>Validation Example</h2>

<form  ng-app=""  ng-controller="validateCtrl"
name="myForm" novalidate>

<p>Username:<br>
  <input type="text" name="user" ng-model="user" required>
  <span style="color:red" ng-show="myForm.user.$dirty && myForm.user.$invalid">
  <span ng-show="myForm.user.$error.required">Username is required.</span>
  </span>
</p>

<p>Email:<br>
  <input type="email" name="email" ng-model="email" required>
  <span style="color:red" ng-show="myForm.email.$dirty && myForm.email.$invalid">
  <span ng-show="myForm.email.$error.required">Email is required.</span>
  <span ng-show="myForm.email.$error.email">Invalid email address.</span>
  </span>
</p>

<p>
  <input type="submit"
  ng-disabled="myForm.user.$dirty && myForm.user.$invalid ||
  myForm.email.$dirty && myForm.email.$invalid">
</p>

</form>

<script>
function validateCtrl($scope) {
    $scope.user = 'John Doe';
    $scope.email = 'john.doe@gmail.com';
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

Note The HTML form attribute novalidate is used to disable default browser validation.

Example Explained

The AngularJS directive ng-model binds the input elements to the model.

The model object has two properties: user and email.

Because of ng-show, the spans with color:red are displayed only when user or email is $dirty and $invalid.
