HTML required tag not validating form

Using the following form with required tags does not actaully validate my input, and always alerts "ok", what am I missing?
<form>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-sm-4">
<label for="inputFirstName">Förnamn</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputFirstName" placeholder="Förnamn" required/>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-sm-4">
<label for="inputLastName">Efternamn</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputLastName" placeholder="Efternamn" required/>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-sm-4">
<label for="inputPhone">Telefon</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputPhone" placeholder="Telefon"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-sm-4">
<label for="inputMobile">Mobiltelefon</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputMobile" placeholder="Mobiltelefon"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-sm-8">
<label for="inputEmail">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email" required/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-sm-12">
<label for="inputCompany">Företag</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputCompany" placeholder="Företag" required/>
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary col-sm-3 pull-right" data-bind="click: submit">Submit</button>
</form>
Javascript, where i want to alert "ok" if validation passes:
vm.submit = function(){
alert("ok");
};

User input validation Bootstrap 4 and JQuery?

I started learning Bootstrap 4 validation and there are few things that are not clear to me. Some of the situations are confusing in case where input fields that are not required are showing valid-feedback / invalid-feedback. Also, I'm wondering if there is a way to trigger validation with button on click instead of submit process? Here is example of what I have so far:
// Example starter JavaScript for disabling form submissions if there are invalid fields
(function() {
'use strict';
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
// Fetch all the forms we want to apply custom Bootstrap validation styles to
var forms = document.getElementsByClassName('needs-validation');
// Loop over them and prevent submission
var validation = Array.prototype.filter.call(forms, function(form) {
form.addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
if (form.checkValidity() === false) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
form.classList.add('was-validated');
}, false);
});
}, false);
})();

In the example above I used the code for validation form the Bootstrap web site. There is very little explained on how this works. I have few questions:
How I can trigger validation on click since I will use ajax to send request to the server?
Why fields that are not required are turning green (color around the input)?
How I can use pattern attribute to validate input value if it's correct or not with custom message for the user?
Please let me know if anyone knows how to achieve this?
Thank you.

Serialize a form in order to send it via Ajax

I want to send a form via Ajax, not via a submit button.
I defined the form as follows in the below code excerpt, and later I defined the jQuery function to trap the CREATE BUTTON action.
When I debug this I get that
console.log($('#customer_form').serialize()); does not throw anything.
Is this the right way of serializing a form?
Do the buttons need to be inside the <form></form> element?
Here is the used code:
HTML:
<form id="customer_form" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-4 control-label" for="name">Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" aria-describedby="name_help" placeholder="Name">
<small id="name_help" class="form-text text-muted"></small>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-4 control-label" for="address_line_1">Address</label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="address_line_1" aria-describedby="address_line_1_help" placeholder="Address Line 1">
<small id="address_line_1_help" class="form-text text-muted"></small>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-4 control-label" for="address_line_2"></label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="address_line_2" aria-describedby="address_line_2_help" placeholder="Address Line 2">
<small id="address_line_2_help" class="form-text text-muted"></small>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-4 control-label" for="town">Town</label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="town" aria-describedby="town_help" placeholder="Town">
<small id="town_help" class="form-text text-muted"></small>
</div>
</div>
<button id="create" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary pull-right m-t-n-xs" type="button"><strong>Save</strong></button>
</form>
JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#create').click(function(event) {
console.log('foo');
alert($('#customer_form').serialize());
event.preventDefault();
});
});

You just forgot to add the name attribute to your inputs:
<input name="nameofInput" .... />
-------^
See the below snippet:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#create').click(function(event) {
console.log('foo');
alert($('#customer_form').serialize());
event.preventDefault();
});

Form validation with parsley js. Alphanumeric and password confirmation

Currently validating a multistep form using parsley.js. All other required attributes works fine and validate properly. I just need help extending the form validation to ensure that the values for both password and confirm password fields match
$(function () {
var $sections = $('.form-section');
function navigateTo(index) {
// Mark the current section with the class 'current'
$sections
.removeClass('current')
.eq(index)
.addClass('current');
// Show only the navigation buttons that make sense for the current section:
$('.form-navigation .previous').toggle(index > 0);
var atTheEnd = index >= $sections.length - 1;
$('.form-navigation .next').toggle(!atTheEnd);
$('.form-navigation [type=submit]').toggle(atTheEnd);
}
function curIndex() {
// Return the current index by looking at which section has the class 'current'
return $sections.index($sections.filter('.current'));
}
// Previous button is easy, just go back
$('.form-navigation .previous').click(function() {
navigateTo(curIndex() - 1);
});
// Next button goes forward iff current block validates
$('.form-navigation .next').click(function() {
if ($('#individualForm').parsley().validate({group: 'block-' + curIndex()}))
navigateTo(curIndex() + 1);
});
// Prepare sections by setting the `data-parsley-group` attribute to 'block-0', 'block-1', etc.
$sections.each(function(index, section) {
$(section).find(':input').attr('data-parsley-group', 'block-' + index);
});
navigateTo(0); // Start at the beginning

populate a form from backend with angularjs

I am new in angularjs, i want to have a filed form from database when the user want to update his profile. I have a webservice that can give all information for the logged user then another webservice to get the information that i need with the id of the user.This is my controller:
controller('myTalentisCtrl', function ($scope,$http) {
this.User_Talent={};
this.T_User={} ;
$http.get("/LoggedUser").success(function(data) {
alert(data);
this.T_User.lnId = data.lnId;
alert(this.T_User.lnId);
});
$http.get("/usertalent",this.T_User.lnId).success(function(data) {
alert(data);
this.User_Talent.user = data.user;
this.User_Talent.talent = data.talent;
});
$scope.modif=function(){
$http.put('updating/' + this.T_User.lnId, $scope.User_Talent).success(function(data) {
$scope.User_Talent = data;
});
};
this is a part of my form:

Is there a way to initialize my ng-model with the existing values ?

you should perform a digest cycle to reflect the changes in the DOM.
Look into digest
