AngularJS 1.6.8: Unable to submit form and display success message

I have a simple query submission form with name, email and query fields and a component with a controller function having the submit function to submit the form.
I am using ng-submit directive in the <form></form> tag to submit the user input and display a success message on submission.
below is the code for the respective files.
contact.html
<div ngController="contactController as vm">
<div class="heading text-center">
<h1>Contact Us</h1>
</div>
<div>
<form class="needs-validation" id="contactForm" novalidate method="post" name="vm.contactForm" ng-submit="saveform()">
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="validationTooltip01" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Name</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="validationTooltipName" placeholder="Name" ng-model="vm.name" required>
<div class="invalid-tooltip">
Please enter your full name.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="validationTooltipEmail" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<span class="input-group-text" id="validationTooltipUsernamePrepend">#</span>

</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="validationTooltip03" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Query</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="validationTooltipQuery" ng-model="vm.query" placeholder="Query" required>
<div class="invalid-tooltip">

</div>
</form>
<span data-ng-bind="Message" ng-hide="hideMessage" class="sucessMsg"></span>
</div>
</div>
contact.component.js
angular.module('myApp')
.component('contactComponent', {
restrict: 'E',
$scope:{},
templateUrl:'contact/contact.html',
controller: contactController,
controllerAs: 'vm',
factory:'userService',
$rootscope:{}
});
function contactController($scope, $state,userService,$rootScope) {
var vm = this;
$scope.navigate = function(home){
$state.go(home)
};
$scope.saveform = function(){
$scope.name= vm.name;
$scope.email= vm.email;
$scope.query= vm.email;
$scope.hideMessage = false;
$scope.Message = "Your query has been successfully submitted."
};
$scope.user = userService;
};
//localStorage code
function userService($rootScope) {
var service = {
model: {
name: '',
email: '',
query:''
},
SaveState: function () {
sessionStorage.userService = angular.toJson(service.model);
},
RestoreState: function () {
service.model = angular.fromJson(sessionStorage.userService);
}
}
$rootScope.$on("savestate", service.SaveState);
$rootScope.$on("restorestate", service.RestoreState);
return service;
$rootScope.$on("$routeChangeStart", function (event, next, current) {
if (sessionStorage.restorestate == "true") {
$rootScope.$broadcast('restorestate'); //let everything know we need to restore state
sessionStorage.restorestate = false;
}
});
//let everthing know that we need to save state now.
window.onbeforeunload = function (event) {
$rootScope.$broadcast('savestate');
};
};
UPDATE: On Submit, When I check the response in network tab in dev tools, I do not see the submitted values. All I see is the markup.

In your template, the name of the method is saveform:
ng-submit="saveform()"
But in your controller, it's save:
$scope.save = function() { ... }
Rename it to saveform:
$scope.saveform = function() { ... }

How do I trigger all validations when submit button is clicked?

I've added validations for my form and I wanted it to trigger each and every validation when submit button is clicked. I tried googling for how to trigger them but it seems they are not working for me.
Here's my code for the form
<form id="CustomerForm" class="form-horizontal group-border stripped" name="CustomerDetails" novalidate ng-submit="CustomerDetails.$valid && AddCustomer()">
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error': CustomerDetails.cname.$invalid && !CustomerDetails.cname.$pristine}">
<label class="col-lg-2 col-md-3 control-label">Customer Name</label>
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-9">
<input type="text" ng-model="CusDetails.cname" class="form-control" name="cname" id="cname" required />
<p ng-show="CustomerDetails.cname.$error.required && !CustomerDetails.cname.$pristine" class="help-block">Customer name required!</p>
</div>
</div>
<!--end of .form-group-->
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error': CustomerDetails.comname.$invalid && !CustomerDetails.comname.$pristine}">
<label class="col-lg-2 col-md-3 control-label">Company Name</label>
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-9">
<input type="text" ng-model="CusDetails.comname" class="form-control" name="comname"id="comname" required />
<p ng-show="CustomerDetails.comname.$error.required && !CustomerDetails.comname.$pristine" class="help-block">Comapany name required!</p>
</div>
</div>
<!--end of .form-group-->
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error': CustomerDetails.ctel.$invalid && !CustomerDetails.ctel.$pristine}">
<label class="col-lg-2 col-md-3 control-label" for="">Telephone Number</label>
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-9">
<div class="input-group input-icon">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-phone s16"></i></span>
<input ng-model="CusDetails.tel" class="form-control" name="ctel" type="text" placeholder="(999) 999-9999" id="ctel" required >
<p ng-show="CustomerDetails.ctel.$error.required && !CustomerDetails.ctel.$pristine" class="help-block">Telephone number required!</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End .form-group -->
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error': CustomerDetails.email.$invalid && !CustomerDetails.email.$pristine}">
<label class="col-lg-2 col-md-3 control-label" for="">Email address</label>
<div class="col-lg-10 col-md-9">
<input ng-model="CusDetails.email" type="email" class="form-control" name="email" placeholder="someone#example.com" id="email" required >
<p ng-show="CustomerDetails.email.$error.required && !CustomerDetails.email.$pristine" class="help-block">Email is required!</p>
<p ng-show="CustomerDetails.email.$error.email && !CustomerDetails.email.$pristine" class="help-block">Please Enter valid email address.</p>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End .form-group -->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-9 col-sm-9 col-xs-12">
<button name="btnSubmit" type="submit" class="btn btn-info pad"><span class="fa fa-user-plus"></span> Add Customer</button>
<button type="button" id="cancel" class="btn btn-default pad">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
UPDATE: I have change the code according to Adrian Brand but still no trigger. What am I doing wrong?
Here's my angularjs for the form. (controller)
(function () {
'use strict';
angular
.module('efutures.hr.controllers.customer', [])
.controller('AddCustomerController', AddCustomerController);
AddCustomerController.$inject = ['$scope', '$location', '$rootScope', '$http', 'CustService'];
function AddCustomerController($scope, $location, $rootScope, $http, CustService) {
(function initController() {
})();
$scope.AddCustomer = function () {
var CustomerDetails = {
cname: $scope.CusDetails.cname,
comname: $scope.CusDetails.comname,
tel: $scope.CusDetails.tel,
email: $scope.CusDetails.email
};
if ($scope.CustomerDetails.$valid) {
CustService.Customer(CustomerDetails, function (res) {
console.log(res);
$.extend($.gritter.options, {
position: 'bottom-right',
});
if (res.data == 'success') {
$.gritter.add({
title: 'Success!',
text: 'Successfully added the new customer ' + '<h4><span class="label label-primary">' + CustomerDetails.cname + '</span></h4>',
time: '',
close_icon: 'l-arrows-remove s16',
icon: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok-circle',
class_name: 'success-notice'
});
$scope.CusDetails = {};
$scope.CustomerDetails.$setPristine();
}
else {
$.gritter.add({
title: 'Failed!',
text: 'Failed to add a new customer. Please retry.',
time: '',
close_icon: 'l-arrows-remove s16',
icon: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove-circle',
class_name: 'error-notice'
});
}
});
}
}
}
})();
I even tried making the form submitted true, still didn't work.
The only thing that worked for me is the disabling the button until its validated but that isn't the requirement. I want it to trigger when the submit form is clicked. Help would be greatly appreciated.

In the click event where you wanted to trigger the validation, add the following:
vm.triggerSubmit = function() {
vm.homeForm.$setSubmitted();
...
}
This works for me. To know more about this click here : https://code.angularjs.org/1.3.20/docs/api/ng/type/form.FormController

Your problem lies in the fact that your submit button is not contained in the form so the form never gets submitted. You are just running the controller method via a click handler.
Form validation is not a controller concern and has no place in the controller. It is purely a view concern.
In your form you put a ng-submit="CustomerDetails.$valid && AddCustomer()" and take the click handler off the submit button and place the button row within the form. This way the view will only submit if the form is valid. Do not pollute your controllers with form validation and keep it all contained in your view. You should look into the controller as syntax and then you will not even have access to the $scope in your controllers.

Nothing happen Submit Post phpmailer + AngularJS

I´ve a simple 3 pages html. Index, contact and services. I call the templates views html with ng-view. All is fine. I see them with buttons navbar.
In contact.html, I want use the phpmailer and tutorial from "http://www.chaosm.net/blog/2014/05/21/angularjs-contact-form-with-bootstrap-and-phpmailer/".
In my controller, I paste the code JS in new controller, and in my html file the same form fron tutorial. After differents tests, I reach the controller working but when I pulse the input submit:nothing happen and doesn´t send anything.
I change the path relative to my exampledomain.net/js/contact-form.php in the code controller. Change so in contact-form the path for the call to PHPMailerAutoload.php.
In the contactform.html, I put in first div the call to controller ) and same form example.
In contact-form.php all is the same like the tutorial, only I change the path like I write before).
Is posible the post form doesn´t work because I use ng-view? Someone have 1 idea why contact-form.php seem not running?
I´m very beginner in Angular JS. thanks
The code of the unique controller I have (for routing and form phpmailer):
//Creo modulo y su nbre + establecer function routage
var AppSol = angular.module('AppSol', ['ngRoute']);
//Configure routage
AppSol.config(function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider
//Indico links pages nav
.when ('/',{
templateUrl:'templates/home.html',
controller:''
})
.otherwise ({
redirectTo:"/"
})
.when ('/Inicio',{
templateUrl:'templates/home.html',
controller:'MainCtrl'
})
.when ('/Contacto',{
templateUrl:'templates/contacto.html',
controller:'ContactController'
})
.when ('/Servicios',{
templateUrl:'templates/servicios.html',
controller:'ServCtrl'
});
});
//Creo controller and lo injecto
AppSol.controller ('MainCtrl', function($scope){
//Probar que funciona con mensaje
$scope.titulo="MY TITLE";
});
//Creo controller and lo injecto
AppSol.controller ('ServCtrl', function($scope){
//Probar que funciona con mensaje
$scope.message='';
$scope.titulo='SECOND TITLE'
});
//Creo controller and lo injecto
AppSol.controller ('ContactController', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.titulo='TEST1 CALL CONTACT CONTROLLER'
//$scope.result = 'Hidden'
$scope.resultMessage='Test2 with Result control - I see this mensaje.';
$scope.formData; //formData is an object holding the name, email, subject, and message
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = false;
$scope.submitted = false; //used so that form errors are shown only after the form has been submitted
$scope.submit = function(contactform) {
$scope.submitted = true;
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = true;
if (contactform.$valid) {
$http({
method : 'POST',
url : 'http://exampledomain.net/test/js/contact-form.php',
data : $.param($scope.formData), //param method from jQuery
headers : { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' } //set the headers so angular passing info as form data (not request payload)
}).success(function(data){
console.log(data);
if (data.success) { //success comes from the return json object
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = true;
$scope.resultMessage = data.message;
$scope.result='bg-success';
} else {
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = false;
$scope.resultMessage = data.message;
$scope.result='bg-danger';
}
});
} else {
$scope.submitButtonDisabled = false;
$scope.resultMessage = 'Failed :( Please fill out all the fields.';
$scope.result='bg-danger';
}
}
});

View is ok, so you can add error to your $http promise, and see what is the server response.

re enabling ng-disabled button in Angular JS

I am a newbie to AngularJS. I have created a form with fields which is disabled using ng-disabled by default. when I click on the edit <button> I want these fields to re-enable.
HTML
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" ng-submit="edit_setting()" ng-controller="ExchangeController">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="exchange_dt.name" ng-disabled="true">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Host Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="exchange_dt.host_name" required ng-disabled="true">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Address</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="exchange_dt.address" ng-disabled="true">
</div>
</div>
</form>
Controller
function ExchangeController($scope, $http, $cookieStore, $location) {
var edit_exchange_setting = "https://pvbp.com/api/settings.html?contactid=292351&exchange_id=7124&clearinghouseid=1&token=e5349652507c0esae86d50fdbdc53222cf97&page=view";
$http.get(edit_exchange_setting).success(function(response){
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_name = response.name;
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_host_name = response.host_name;
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_last_processed_date = response.address;
});
$scope.edit_exchange_setting_click = (function(){
// how can i make the fields re enable here
});
}

in controller create scope variable,
$scope.disabled= true;
and replace all ng-disabled with that variable like,
...ng-model="exchange_dt.name" ng-disabled="disabled"....
when you click on edit button set $scope.disabled to false like,
$scope.edit_exchange_setting_click = (function(){
$scope.disabled = false;
});

you can have a scope variable keeping the true or false value.and a setter for that variable.
function ExchangeController($scope, $http, $cookieStore, $location) {
var edit_exchange_setting = "https://pvbp.com/api/settings.html?contactid=292351&exchange_id=7124&clearinghouseid=1&token=e5349652507c0esae86d50fdbdc53222cf97&page=view";
$http.get(edit_exchange_setting).success(function(response){
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_name = response.name;
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_host_name = response.host_name;
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_last_processed_date = response.address;
});
$scope.edit_exchange_setting_click = (function(){
// how can i make the fields re enable here
});
$scope.dtName=true;
$scope.isdtNameDisabled=function()
{
return $scope.dtName;
};
$scope.updatedtName=function(flag)
{
$scope.dtName=flag;
};
}
and in your HTML you can bind that getter function.
<div class="form-group">
<label>Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="exchange_dt.name" ng-disabled="isdtNameDisabled()>
</div>
</div>

You need to create a variable at the top of controller say
$scope.mydisabled=true;
then set your ng-disable with the variable
ng-disabled="mydisabled"
and on click of edit button set its value to false
$scope.mydisabled=false;
UPDATE
Fiddle

A different (however similar) approach is to wrap your form contents in a fieldset and have ng-disabled in the fieldset only rather than in all the input fields. To make the html more cleaner.
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" ng-submit="edit_setting()" ng-controller="ExchangeController">
<fieldset ng-disabled ="isFormSetForSaving">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="exchange_dt.name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Host Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="exchange_dt.host_name" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Address</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="exchange_dt.address">
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
and now in the controller set the isFormSetForSaving to true/false as per your logic.
function ExchangeController($scope, $http, $cookieStore, $location) {
$scope.isFormSetForSaving = true;
var edit_exchange_setting = "https://pvbp.com/api/settings.html?contactid=292351&exchange_id=7124&clearinghouseid=1&token=e5349652507c0esae86d50fdbdc53222cf97&page=view";
$http.get(edit_exchange_setting).success(function(response){
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_name = response.name;
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_host_name = response.host_name;
$scope.exchange_dt.exchange_last_processed_date = response.address;
});
$scope.edit_exchange_setting_click = (function(){
// how can i make the fields re enable here
$scope.isFormSetForSaving = false;
});
}

How To pass the modified data from dual listbox to controller?

I have created a form with two listboxes in which it is possible to move the items from one listbox into another.
The view also loads correctly, but I haven't figured out how to send the modified listbox data back to controller.
The view code is the following:
<script>
$(function() {
$(document)
.on("click", "#MoveRight", function() {
$("#SelectLeft :selected").remove().appendTo("#SelectRight");
})
.on("click","#MoveLeft", function() {
$("#SelectRight :selected").remove().appendTo("#SelectLeft");
});
});
#Html.Hidden("RedirectTo", Url.Action("UserManagement", "Admin"));
<h2>User</h2>
<div class="container">
<form role="form">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="SelectLeft">User Access:</label>
<select class="form-control" id="SelectLeft" multiple="multiple" data-bind="options : ownership, selectedOptions:ownership, optionsText:'FirstName'">
</select>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<div class="btn-group-vertical">
<input class="btn btn-primary" id="MoveLeft" type="button" value=" << " />
<input class="btn btn-primary" id="MoveRight" type="button" value=" >> " />
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="SelectRight">Owners:</label>
<select class="form-control" multiple="multiple" id="SelectRight" multiple="multiple" data-bind="options : availableOwners, selectedOptions:availableOwners, optionsText:'FirstName'">
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<script>
var data=#(Html.Raw(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Model)));
var selectedOwners = #Html.Raw(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ViewBag.AccessOwners));
var availableOwners = #Html.Raw(Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ViewBag.Owners));
function viewModel() {
this.username=ko.observable(data.Username);
this.password=ko.observable(data.Password);
this.email=ko.observable(data.Email);
this.isActive=ko.observable(data.IsActive);
this.userId = ko.observable(data.UserId);
this.ownership=ko.observableArray(selectedOwners);
this.availableOwners = ko.observableArray(availableOwners);
this.submit = function()
{
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("UserSave", "Admin")',
type: 'POST',
data: ko.toJSON(this),
contentType: 'application/json',
});
window.location.href = url;
return false;
}
this.cancel = function()
{
window.location.href = url;
return false;
}
};
ko.applyBindings(new viewModel());
var url = $("#RedirectTo").val();
I would be very thankful if anyone could suggest the way to pass all the selected options back to controller by populating the data with modified lists when the submit function is executed.
Thanks!

Before form submission save one side items values in an hidden input element. (comma separated values of listbox items.) The value of hidden element is sent to server by submitting the form. In controller you can do the next things.
