Custom Validations in Angular FormArray (Sum of proportion must be 100%)

I have created a formArray in angular to represent Nominee's distribution which has two fields Name and Proportion. Plus button(+) adds a new row and (X) button deletes current row. Now I want to code for a validation such that total of proportion column must be 100% (No matter how many nominees' name it consists)
Ex.
No Name Proportion
1 Andy 100
(Sum of proportion is 100)----------
Ex.2
No Name Proportion
1 Andy 60
2 Bruce 40 (Sum of proportion is 100)----------
Ex.3
No Name Proportion
1 Andy 60
2 Bruce 20
3 Ciao 20 (Sum of proportion is 100)----------
Here is my component.html code
<h5>Nominees</h5>
<div class="row">
<form novalidate [formGroup]="FormNominees">
<div clas="col-xs-12 form-group marL40">
<div formGroupName="itemRows">

Here is my component.ts code
import { proportionValidator } from './proportion.validator';
#Component({

})
export class GratuityComponent implements OnInit {
FormNominees: FormGroup;
TotalRow: number;
itemFB: any;
constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
}
ngOnInit(): void {
this.FormNominees = this.fb.group({
itemRows: this.fb.array([this.initItemRow()])
});
initItemRow() {
this.itemFB = this.fb.group({
name: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.pattern('[a-zA-Z0-9. ]*' )]],
relationship: ['', Validators.required],
phone: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.pattern('[a-zA-Z0-9. ]*' )]],
gratuityProportion: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.pattern('^[0-9]*$'), proportionValidator] ],
gender:['', Validators.required],
employeeUniqueId: '00000001-0001-0001-0001-000000000001'
})
return this.itemFB;
}
addnewRow() {
const control = <FormArray>this.FormNominees.controls['itemRows'];
control.push(this.initItemRow())
}
deleteRow(index: number) {
const control = <FormArray>this.FormNominees.controls['itemRows'];
// control.push(this.initItemRow())
if (control != null) {
this.TotalRow = control.value.length;
}
if (this.TotalRow > 1) {
control.removeAt(index);
} else {
alert('One record is mandatory');
return false;
}
}
get f9() {return this.itemFB.controls;}
}
}
Now, my question is what code should I write in proportion.validator.ts to achieve the condition?

Straight from the docs:
const arr = new FormArray(
[
new FormControl('Nancy'),
new FormControl('Drew')
],
{
validators: myValidator //<- this is where your proportion validator goes
}
);
In your case, it looks like this:
this.FormNominees = this.fb.group({
itemRows: this.fb.array(
[
this.initItemRow()
],
{
validators: proportionValidator
}
)
});

Conditional required validation in angular forms

If both fields dont have inputs then both can be optional. If firstname has input then set lastname as required. If lastname has input but firstname has no input then set firstname as required.
Set other field as required if one field has value and the other has not. Thank you.
So its like if i am the user and there are two fields which is firstname nad lastname. If i input data on firstname but lastname is empty then set the lastname as required (vice versa). Any idea ? thanks

Chaining Tasks performed on NgOnInit and NgAfterViewInit

Guys I am seriously going nuts about handling Angular lifecycle hooks correctly. I am not sure where I am mistaking. I have tried to read a lot of things and is struggling with them from around a week now.
My Problem
I have quite a bit of server api calls and some business logic that I am applying during NgOnInIt(). But doing so I am sometimes running in to RegisterationComponent.html:82 ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'titleId' of undefined. And at other times I am struggling to initialize a wizard correctly.
I am now going to define you in detail what is it that I am facing:
ngOnInit()
ngOnInit() {
//First see if it is a redirect request:
this.route.queryParamMap
.pipe(
map(params => params.get('payment')),
filter(paramVal => paramVal != null),
filter(paramVal => paramVal == 'success'),
tap((paymentInd: string) => {
this.setOrderDetails();
}),
untilDestroyed(this)
).subscribe((successPayment: string) => {
//Update the transaction here
this.regService.updateTransaction(this.registrationTransactionDetails)
.pipe(
filter((regUpdate: RegistrationTransaction) => regUpdate != null),
tap((regUpdate: RegistrationTransaction) => {
//This is so that user sees the correct template.
this.showRegConfirmation = true;
this.showConfirmation = false;
this.wizard = new KTWizard(this.el.nativeElement, {
startStep: 2
});
this.initializeWizardEvents();
JsBarcode('#barcode', regUpdate.order.orderLine.barcode);
}),
untilDestroyed(this)
)
.subscribe((regUpdate: RegistrationTransaction) => {
//Update the user details
this._profileService.updateUser(this.userDetails.id, this.userDetails).subscribe();
});
});
//fresh transaction case
this.route.queryParamMap
.pipe(
map(params => params.get('payment')),
filter(param => param == null),
tap((paymentInd: string) => {
this.setOrderDetails();
//this is to make sure user sees the correct template even after refresh
this.showConfirmation = true;
this.showRegConfirmation = false;
}),
filter(id => this.registrationTransactionDetails.id == null),
untilDestroyed(this)
)
.subscribe((paymentInd: string) => {
this.regService
.createTransaction(this.registrationTransactionDetails)
.pipe(
filter(regCreated => regCreated.id != null),
tap((regCreated: RegistrationTransaction) => {
if(!this._utilities.isNullOrUndefined(regCreated.id)){
this.wizard = new KTWizard(this.el.nativeElement, {
startStep: 1
});
this.initializeWizardEvents();
this.regService
.getSessionDetails(regCreated.eventId, regCreated.order.id)
.pipe(
tap((response: SessionResponse) => {
//Just so that we can update the registration details with the gateway order id as well.
this.registrationTransactionDetails = JSON.parse(this.storage.getItem(Constants.RegistrationStorageKey));
this.registrationTransactionDetails.gatewayOrderId = response.gatewayOrderId;
this.storage.setItem(Constants.RegistrationStorageKey, JSON.stringify(this.registrationTransactionDetails));
}),
untilDestroyed(this)
)
.subscribe((response: SessionResponse) => {
console.log(response);
this.gatewayConfig.session = response.session;
this.gatewayConfig.callbacks = this.callback;
Checkout.configure(this.gatewayConfig);
});
}
}),
untilDestroyed(this)
)
.subscribe((regCreated: RegistrationTransaction) => {
this.registrationTransactionDetails = JSON.parse(this.storage.getItem(Constants.RegistrationStorageKey));
//Save all the details fo the registration created.
this.registrationTransactionDetails.id = regCreated.id;
this.registrationTransactionDetails.order.id = regCreated.order.id;
this.registrationTransactionDetails.order.orderLine.id = regCreated.order.orderLine.id;
this.storage.setItem(
Constants.RegistrationStorageKey,
JSON.stringify(this.registrationTransactionDetails)
);
});
});
this.regService
.getCommonValues()
.pipe(
filter(list => list != null),
tap((list: CommonLists) =>{
this.filteredCities = _.filter(list.cities, { countryCode: this.userDetails.countryCode });
}),
untilDestroyed(this)
)
.subscribe((lists: CommonLists) => {
this.countries = lists.countries;
this.titles = lists.titles;
this.genders = lists.genders;
this.cities = lists.cities;
this.jobFunctions = lists.jobFunctions;
this.jobTitles = lists.jobTitles;
});
}
ngAfterViewInit()
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
// Initialize form wizard
//let wizard;
if(this.showRegConfirmation && !this.showConfirmation)
{
this.wizard = new KTWizard(this.el.nativeElement, {
startStep: 3
});
}
else
{
this.wizard = new KTWizard(this.el.nativeElement, {
startStep: 2
});
}
// Validation before going to next page
this.wizard.on('beforeNext', wizardObj => {
// https://angular.io/guide/forms
// https://angular.io/guide/form-validation
// validate the form and use below function to stop the wizard's step
// wizardObj.stop();
this.onBeforeNext(wizardObj);
});
this.wizard.on('beforePrev', wizardObj => {
// https://angular.io/guide/forms
// https://angular.io/guide/form-validation
// validate the form and use below function to stop the wizard's step
// wizardObj.stop();
this.onBeforePrev(wizardObj);
});
// Change event
this.wizard.on('change', wizard => {
setTimeout(() => {
KTUtil.scrollTop();
}, 500);
});
}
Now this wizard has to be initialized in the ngAfterViewInit. I have tried to do it in the ngOnInit but it doesn't work. The events do not work.
Primarily the lines you all see in the queryParamsMap subscriptions are my attempt to achieve what I want to achieve. I want to start the wizard from a different step based on the state user land to the screen.
this.wizard = new KTWizard(this.el.nativeElement, {
startStep: 2
});
this.initializeWizardEvents();
Additionally you all can find this line:
this.setOrderDetails() <- it fetches the user details during the ngOnInit. It is run after the ngOnInit and hence I get some initialization errors during runtime undefined title error as pasted above. When data comes it fills the UI, but I don't quite understand how to get around with this error.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

seens like a bad definition variable, in your template RegisterationComponent.htmlline 88, you should have something like variable.titleId, that variable in your .ts file should be define like this:
#Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class YourComponentName {
variable;
}
the problem is that when your component is loaded variable is undefined so you should define like an empty object variable: typing = {} so the html component will get and undefined intead a error, if you component is specting something different that undefined you sould define your variable like variable = {titleId: expectedValue}

AWS - Pull email template from S3 bucket using java/js

My question seems to be very similar to AWS - Using email template from S3 bucket except instead of Python, I am using java/springboot to send the email from AWS SES and using javascript/typescript for the front end. I'm able to send an email with a hardcoded subject and body. I want to be able to send an email with a template from my S3 bucket. My application has a list of the templates in the bucket. When selected, a preview is displayed. How can I send a selected template within my application?

This is now sending the templates, but images are failing to display. Still looking into that issue.
Edit: The images weren't sending because they were base64 encoded. When viewing the source of all images in google images search results, they all showed base64 encoding. I noticed that when I went to the source of these images, it would give me a more specific src such as https://......jpg. When I dragged and dropped this source image into my template and saved and sent, it forwent the base64 encoding and therefore, images show up in my Gmail inbox when sent from my application now.

How to dynamically add validations to material forms in Angular (v6)?

I have a form whose field names and required validators will change based on the form type (content_type) selected. On selecting the form_type, I get a list of required_fields and optional_fields, accordingly, I need to add Validators.required, so i can disable the submit button if the form is not filled properly.
After adding logic, i get following errors:
this.form._updateTreeValidity is not a function
and
this.form.get is not a function
and the form ends up looking empty with the following errors. If i just keep fields without any formControlName or validations it looks perfectly fine.
Code
Sample form fields
formFields = {
required_fields: {
actual_content: "Content",
name: "Name",
contact: "Phone Number"
},
optional_fields: {
additional_content: "Additional card content",
website: "Website URL",
}
};
form.component.ts
formGroup: FormGroup;
ngOnInit() {
this.selectedType = 'text';
this.service.getFormFields(this.selectedType)
.subscribe((data: {required_fields, optional_fields }) => {
// create array of field names to display in template
this.fieldNames = Object.assign(data.required_fields, data.optional_fields);
// create dynamic formGroup, with proper validators
this.formGroup = this.createGroup(data);
console.log({FormGroup: this.formGroup});
});
}
createGroup(formFields): FormGroup {
const group: any = {};
// required fields
const reqFields = Object.keys(formFields.required_fields);
reqFields.forEach(field => {
group[field] = new FormControl(``, [Validators.required]);
});
// optional fields
const optFields = Object.keys(formFields.optional_fields);
optFields.forEach(field => {
group[field] = new FormControl(``);
});
return group;
}
// the dynamically generated formGroup might look like
// formGroup = new FormGroup({
// actual_content: new FormControl(``, [Validators.required]),
// name: new FormControl(``, [Validators.required]),
// contact: new FormControl(``, [Validators.required]),
// additional_content: new FormControl(),
// website: new FormControl(),
// })
form.component.html

Question
What is the correct way to add validationss dynamically?
Thanks in advance.
