Do not trigger form.$invalid on first load - javascript

Having such form
<div ng-controller="FormController as f_ctrl">
<form ng-submit="f_ctrl.submit()" name="myForm">
<input type="text" ng-model="f_ctrl.user.username"
required
ng-minlength="4"/>
<input type="text" ng-model="f_ctrl.user.password"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" ng-disabled="myForm.$invalid">
</form>
</div>
and such controller
.controller('FormController', [function() {
var self = this;
self.submit = function() {
console.log('User submitted form with ' + self.user.username)
}
}]);
I have a problem: when page first loads it immediately shows red border on username field, even before I start typing anything.
I need to highlight invalid fields only after first submission. Can this be done using form.$invalid ?

You have to use $pristine for that. It is true when form controller is not changed. so when you change textbox data its comes false.
Small example for you.
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error' : userForm.password.$invalid && !userForm.password.$pristine }">
<input id="passAnime" type="password" name="password" ng-model="user.password" class="form-control input-md" placeholder="Password" tabindex="5" ng-maxlength="25" ng-minlength="6" required>
<span ng-show="userForm.password.$dirty && userForm.password.$invalid">
<p ng-show="userForm.password.$error.required" class="error-messages">
Your password is required.
</p>
<p ng-show="userForm.password.$error.minlength" class="error-messages">
Your password is too short. Minimum 6 chars.
</p>
<p ng-show="userForm.password.$error.maxlength" class="error-messages">
Your password is too long. Maximum 25 chars.
</p>
</span>
</div>

Angular has helpers that tell you if the form (or form field) is $dirty (user has typed something) or if the form is $touched (the blur event has been triggered on the input). See this demo.
I need to highlight invalid fields only after first submission.
Unfortunately, Angular doesn't support that. But you could implement it yourself rather easily:
Controller
function FormController() {
var vm = this;
vm.submitAttempted = false;
vm.submit = function(isValid) {
if (isValid) {
// do stuff
}
else {
vm.submitAttempted = true;
}
};
}
HTML
<div ng-app='app'>
<div ng-controller='FormController as vm'>
<form name='fooForm' ng-submit='vm.submit(fooForm.$valid)' novalidate>
<label>Username</label>
<input
name='username'
type='text'
ng-model='vm.user.username'
required
ng-minlength='4'
ng-class="{'invalid': vm.submitAttempted && fooForm.username.$invalid}">
<br /><br />
<button type='submit'>Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.invalid {
border-color: red;
}
Demo
I have a problem: when page first loads it immediately shows red border on username field, even before I start typing anything.
That's probably because you have the following CSS class:
.ng-invalid {
border-color: red;
}
Angular will always apply the ng-invalid class to fields that are invalid, and there's nothing you could do about that. So if you don't always want invalid fields to have a red border, you can't use that class and you should do it in a way similar to what I proposed above.
Also, check out ngMessages.

You can disable the default styling on the input field that is adding the red border by default, by adding the following CSS:
input:required {
-moz-box-shadow: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
Then if you want to highlight the field when the form is submitted, you will need to ensure that the form and form fields have relevant name attributes. Doing this will allow you to check if the field is valid or not and apply a class to your text field when it is invalid:
<input type="text" name="username" ng-class="{ 'invalid-field' : f_ctrl.myForm.username.$invalid && !f_ctrl.myForm.username.$pristine }" required />
f_ctrl.myForm and f_ctrl.myform.username will have additional properties that you can use/check to determine if the form or fields are invalid or not, or if they have been modified at any point (e.g. f_ctrl.myform.username.$dirty). You should be able to view these properties on your page by adding the follow HTML:
<div>
<pre>{{f_ctrl.myForm | json}}</pre>
</div>
Or, you could output self.myForm to the console from your controller to view it's properties
console.log(self.myForm);

how to show red border in input field on button In angular js

Could you please tell how to show red border in the input field on a button in angularJs . Currently, the red border is displayed when the application load. Actually, I added ng-required validation on my form .but I want this only work after button click here is my code

Using HTML form field validation

I am using jQuery Mobile and am attempting to use HTML5 form field validation to perform inline form field validation. I am doing this because I really like the way that the browser reports issues in the bubble and I don't think it is very user friendly to wait until someone has completed filling out a form and then tell them what is wrong. Here is my HTML:
<form id="frmMain" action="#">
<input type="checkbox" data-enhance="false" value="1" id="cbxFB" />
<label for="cbxFB">
<span class="formsubtext">Check this box to use Facebook information to help fill out this registration. Once registered you will be able to use the Facebook login button.</span>
</label>
<label for="tbEmail">*Email</label><input type="email" id="tbEmail" required autofocus placeholder="example#address.com" />
<label for="tbPassword">*Password</label><input type="password" id="tbPassword" required />
<div class="formsubtext" style="margin-top:1px; padding-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px">Minimum of 6 characters, one capital character, and one lower case character.</div>
<label for="tbPasswordConfirm">*Password Confirm</label><input type="password" id="tbPasswordConfirm" required />
<label for="tbPin">*Account Pin</label><input type="password" pattern="[0-9]{4}" id="tbPin" required placeholder="####" />
<div class="formsubtext" style="margin-top:1px; padding-top:0px; margin-bottom:10px">A four digit number that you will remember. This value will be needed to perform sensitive tasks within the application.</div>
<label for="tbFName">*First Name</label><input type="text" id="tbFName" required />
<label for="tbLName">*Last Name</label><input type="text" id="tbLName" required />
<label for="tbPhone">Phone Number</label><input type="tel" id="tbPhone" pattern="\d{3}[\-]\d{3}[\-]\d{4}" placeholder="###-###-####" style="margin-bottom:1px; padding-bottom:0px;" />
<div class="formsubtext" style="margin-top:1px; padding-top:0px; margin-bottom:20px;">Used at your option when you schedule an appointment with a service provider</div>
<div style="display:none;"><label for="tbfbID">Facebook ID</label><input type="text" id="tbfbID" /></div>
<input type="submit" id="btnMainNext" data-icon="arrow-r" data-iconpos="right" value="Next" data-theme="c" class="ui-btn-c ui-btn ui-corner-all" />
</form>
For the confirm password form field I have the following event defined:
$("#tbPasswordConfirm").on("change", function (event) {
var password = $("#tbPassword").val();
var passwordconfirm = $("#tbPasswordConfirm").val();
if (password != passwordconfirm) {
$("#tbPasswordConfirm")[0].setCustomValidity("The value entered does not match the previous password entered.");
$("#btnMainNext").click();
}
else {
$("#tbPasswordConfirm")[0].setCustomValidity("");
}
$(this).focus().select();
})
My problem is that when the user enters something into the field and moves to the next field the HTML form validation shows the error message for the next field (which is required). I want it to show the message for the field they just left. How do I stop the focus from moving to the next field so that the bubble message that shows up is from the field they just entered the data into? As you can see I have tried setting the focus but that does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can stop focus from moving to the next field but you can't trigger native validation UI or error message unless you click submit button.
To stop focus from moving next field, after you set the custom validity on the field, you can use:
$('#tbPasswordConfirm').blur(function(event) {
event.target.checkValidity();
}).bind('invalid', function(event) {
setTimeout(function() { $(event.target).focus();}, 50);
});
The blur() function will check the validity on blur and if it would be invalid, the corresponding function in bind() would set the focus back to that element.
Solved it
Fiddle
$(function() {
$("#tbPasswordConfirm").on("input", function(event) {
var thisField = $("#tbPasswordConfirm")[0],
theForm = $("#frmMain")[0],
password = $("#tbPassword").val(),
passwordconfirm = $(this).val(),
custom = password === passwordconfirm ? "" : "The value entered does not match the previous password entered.";
thisField.setCustomValidity(custom);
if (!theForm.checkValidity()) theForm.reportValidity();
});
});
You can use html tabindex attr to manipulate which element will get the focus when you click tab character. See docs to how to use it.
For example, if you make your password confirm input as tabindex="5", you can add tabindex="6" to the <label for="tbPin"> element to prevent next input from focusing right after.

AngularJS - form validation, v 1.4.8

This is my first time using AngularJS, and the form validation is making me question my sanity. You would think this would be the easy part, but no matter how many ways I've tried Googling, the only thing that works is if I set a flag inside my controller's submit if the form is invalid to set the error class. I've looked at similar problems here, but none of them helped, so please do not simply dismiss this as a potential duplicate. Everything else has been a fail.
In the example mark up below I have reduced my form down to just one element. Here is what I have observed:
Using only $error.required does work. The ng-class { 'has-error' :registerForm.firstName.$error.required} does outline the text box with the bootstrap has-ertror class, but this is on form load, which I do not want.
The <p> element with the error message will exhibit the same behavior, so I know that the message exists and is not malfored. It will also display if I only use $error.required. But as soon as I add && registerForm.$submitted ( or $isdirty or !notpristine ) the message will not display on form submit. There are no errors (have developers tools open in chrome) and will post to the web API with no problem and return ok 200 or 400 if I send bad params.
I can write validation code inside my controller, checking if the field has a value and setting a flag on $scope such as $scope.firstNameIsRequired and that will work fine setting ng-show="$scope.firstNameIsRequired", but that will remove testability.
So the problem definitely has to be with how I am adding this in the markup. But after a weekend spent googling I am at my wits end. The only other thing different is that I am using a span on a click element to submit the form instead of an input = submit, but the registerForm.$valid function is setting the correct value. Do I somehow need to trigger the form validation in that ng-click directive?
I am using angular.js v 1.4.8.
I do have angular ui which has it's own validate, but that shouldn't interfere with the basic validation.
Here is the simplified markup:
<form name="registerForm" class="form-group form-group-sm"
ng-controller="userAccountController" novalidate>
<div class="form-group"
ng-class="{ 'has-error' : registerForm.firstName.$error.required }">
<div><label>First Name</label> </div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="firstName" name="firstName" value=""
ng-model="firstName" placeholder="First Name" maxlength="100" required=""/>
<p ng-show="registerForm.firstName.$error.required && registerForm.$submitted"
class="alert alert-danger">First Name is required</p>
</div>
<div>
<span class="btn btn-default"
ng-click="submit(registerForm.$valid)">Register</span>
</div>
My controller code is
angular.module( "Application" ).controller( "userAccountController", [
"$scope", "userAccountService", function ( $scope, userAccountService)
{
$scope.hasErrors = false;
$scope.errorMessages = "";
$scope.emailExists = true;
$scope.clearErrors = function (){
$scope.hasErrors = false;
}
$scope.onSuccess = function ( response ) {
alert( "succeeded" );
}
$scope.submit = function (isValid) {
if ($scope.registerForm.$invalid)
return;
alert("isvalid");
$scope.clearErrors();
var userProfile = $scope.createUser();
userAccountService.registerUser(userProfile, $scope.onSuccess, $scope.onError);
}
$scope.createUser = function () {
return {
FirstName: $scope.firstName, LastName: $scope.lastName, Email: $scope.email,
Password: $scope.password, SendAlerts: $scope.sendAlerts
};
};
}
]);
Any help will be appreciated. I probably just need a second set of eyes here because I have been dealing with this on and off since late Friday.
in angular you want use the element.$valid to check wheter an model is valid or not - and you use element.$error.{type} to check for a specific validation error.
Keep in mind that the form.$submitted will only be set if the form is actually submitted - and if it has validationerrors it will not be submitted (and thus that flag is still false)
If you want to show errors only on submit you could use a button with type="submit" and bind to ng-click event - and use that to set a flag that the form has been validated. And handling the submit if the form is valid.
A short example with 2 textboxes, having required and minlength validation:
angular.module("myApp", [])
.controller("myFormController", function($scope) {
$scope.isValidated = false;
$scope.submit = function(myForm) {
$scope.isValidated = true;
if(myForm.$valid) {
console.log("SUCCESS!!");
}
};
});
.form-group {
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
.form-group.has-error {
border: 1px solid red;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.8/angular.js"></script>
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myFormController">
<form name="myForm">
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error': myForm.name.$invalid && isValidated}">
<span>Name:</span>
<input type="text" name="name" minlength="5" ng-model="name" required />
<span ng-if="myForm.name.$error.required && isValidated">Name is required</span>
<span ng-if="myForm.name.$error.minlength && isValidated">Length must be atleast 5 characters</span>
</div>
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error': myForm.email.$invalid && isValidated}">
<span>Email:</span>
<input type="text" name="email" minlength="5" ng-model="email" required />
<span ng-if="myForm.email.$error.required && isValidated">Email is required</span>
<span ng-if="myForm.email.$error.minlength && isValidated">Length must be atleast 5 characters</span>
</div>
<button type="submit" ng-click="submit(myForm)">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>

Maximum number of characters in search field

I have search field and it doesn't have that typical submit button. It looks like this:
HTML:
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="keyword" id="searchbox" onkeypress="return checkLength()"/>
<span class="btn btn-primary input-group-addon" onclick="checkLength()"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></span>
</div>
I only added a span and not the input element for submit button. How do I validate if the user types or inputs not less than 2 characters? If the user types in 1 character only then presses that search button or just hit the enter key, there should be a red error message at the bottom of the search field saying "Keyword should be not less than 2 characters" or something like that.
I tried this code but it's not working:
function checkLength(){
var textbox = document.getElementById("searchbox");
if(textbox.value.length <= 10 && textbox.value.length >= 2){
alert("success");
} else {
alert("Keyword should be not less than 2 characters");
$(document).keypress(function (e) {
var keyCode = (window.event) ? e.which : e.keyCode;
if (keyCode && keyCode == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
});
}
}
Need help. Thanks.
EDIT:
After inputting keywords and hit the enter key, the page would redirect to a search results page, but that should be prevented from happening if the inputted keyword does not have 2 or more characters, hence, displaying a red text error message below the search field. How to do it?
You can use pattern attribute in HTML5 input, and you can validate the text with just CSS:
.error {
display: none;
font: italic medium sans-serif;
color: red;
}
input[pattern]:required:invalid ~ .error {
display: block;
}
<form>
<input type="text" name="pattern-input" pattern=".{2,}" title="Min 2 characters" required>
<input type="submit">
<span class="error">Enter at least two characters</span>
</form>
Here is the Fiddle
Note: This would work with all modern browsers, IE9 and earlier doesn't seems to have support for :invalid, :valid, and :required CSS pseudo-classes till now and Safari have only partial support.
Jquery Validation plugin can be used. it is very simple.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#registerForm").validate();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.7/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
<form id='registerForm' name='registerForm' method='post' action='' > <p>
Search <input type='text' name='name' id='name' minlength="2" class='required' />
</p>
</form>
Ref :
http://jqueryvalidation.org/documentation/
Try utilizing .previousElementSibling to select span .nodeName to select input set div .innerHTML to empty string "" or "Keyword should be not less than 2 characters" , using input event

I made a jsfiddle that might be close to what you want.
Take a gander and see what you can make of it.
Don't hesitate to ask questions about it.
My best explanation is:
There is an event handler on both the input and the submit button that test the input's value. Based on the conditions that I have assumed from your question, either a success alert or an error message is shown. The success alert could be replaced with an ajax call or to trigger a form submission.

Make hidden div and inputs optional for valid form submit with jquery.validate

I have a form that may only be one page or may be two pages depending on whether it is a single individual or two people applying. What I am doing right now is enabling a link that allows the user to get to the next group of form elements for their co-applicant via an onchange event that shows the link that will slideToggle the first users inputs and show the inputs for the additional users. It's a pretty lengthy form so I cut it down to a few elements so I could fiddle it out:
Das Fiddle is here
<form method="POST" id="refiLoanForm" action="mailto:i#i.com">
<!--START PRIMARY APPLICANT -->
<div id="primary-applicant">
<label>
Application Type
<select name="applicationType" id="applicationType" class="wider" required>
<option value="individual">Individual</option>
<option value="joint">Joint</option>
</select>
</label>
<br>
<label for="loan-amount" id="loan-amount-label">Requested Finance Amount
<input type="text" id="loan-amount" name="loanAmount" required/></label>
<br>
<label for="remaining-term">Current Loan Remaining Term
<input type="text" id="remaining-term" name="remainingTerm" max="3" size="3" required class="override"/>
</label>
<br>
CONTINUE TO CO-APPLICANT
</div>
<!--END PRIMARY APPLICANT -->
<!--START CO_APPLICANT -->
<div id="co-applicant" style="display: none">
Back to Primary Applicant
<br>
<label for="co-first-name">First Name
<input type="text" id="co-first-name" name="coApplicantGivenName" maxlength="32" required/>
</label>
<br>
<label for="co-last-name">Last Name
<input type="text" id="co-last-name" name="coApplicantFamilyName" maxlength="32" required/>
</label>
</div>
JS:
$('#refiLoanForm').validate({
onkeyup: false,
ignore: ":disabled",
submitHandler: function (form) { // for demo
alert('valid form');
return false;
}
});
$("#singleSubmitBtnLoan").bind('click', function () {
$('#refiLoanForm').valid();
});
//Handle the content being shown
$("#singleSubmitBtnLink2").on('click', function () {
$("#primary-applicant").slideToggle("slow");
$("#co-applicant").slideToggle("slow");
});
$("#backToPrimary").on('click', function () {
$("#primary-applicant").slideToggle("slow");
$("#co-applicant").slideToggle("slow");
});
$('#applicationType').on('change', function() {
if ($(this).val() === 'joint') {
$('.primaryApplicantSwitch').slideToggle("slow");
$('.jointApplicantSwitch').slideToggle("slow");
} else {
$('.primaryApplicantSwitch').slideToggle("slow");
$('.jointApplicantSwitch').slideToggle("slow");
}
});
So in theory, the user can enter the fields and hit submit and the form is either valid or throws some errors. Or, the user can add a co-applicant, and validate the form on the link click before toggling to the next group of inputs.
Any ideas on how I would bind all of this to the one button and get it to play nice with jquery.validate?
You cannot dynamically "toggle" the rules of input fields.
However, you can use the .rules() method to dynamically add/change/remove rules, which essentially mimics the behavior of a toggle.
Also, since you're talking about fields that are hidden, you'll need to disable the option that makes validation ignore all hidden fields.
ignore: []
