I have a form, which has components bound to ng-messages validation system, and which is divided into several sections using jquery-steps .
I need to trigger validation when user navigates from section to section pressing jquery-steps
buttons. These are simple buttons, which do not submit the form. In the code, that is bound to the navigation between sections I can clearly see if the data is typed in and whether it is correct : for instance, I can successfully refer to $scope.eventForm.title.$valid
. However, I would like to force-show validation messages when the data is incorrect. Currently they only appear after I click on either of the inputs, but I would like to trigger them from controller. Is it possible?
The html of the view:
<div ng-controller="eventDetailsController as ctrl" ng-cloak>
<md-content class="md-padding" layout-xs="column" layout="row" layout-align="center center">
<div flex-xs flex-gt-xs="70" layout="column">
<form name="eventForm">
<div wizard="{content: '#format-toolbar-options', position: 'top'}" id="event_wizard">
<h3>Basic data</h3>
<section>
<md-card>
<img ng-src="{{imagePath}}" class="md-card-image" alt="Washed Out"/>
<md-card-title>
<md-card-title-text>
<h3>New event</h3>
</md-card-title-text>
</md-card-title>
<md-card-content>
<div layout="row">
<md-input-container class="md-block" flex="50">
<label>Title</label>
<input md-maxlength="30" required md-no-asterisk name="title" ng-model="event.title">
<div ng-messages="eventForm.title.$error">
<div ng-message="required">This is required.</div>
<div ng-message="md-maxlength">The title must be less than 30 characters long.</div>
</div>
</md-input-container>
</div>
<div layout="row">
<md-input-container class="md-block">
<label>Contacts</label>
<input required type="email" name="contacts" ng-model="event.contacts"
minlength="10" maxlength="100" ng-pattern="/^.+@.+\..+$/" />
<div ng-messages="eventForm.contacts.$error" role="alert">
<div ng-message-exp="['required', 'minlength', 'maxlength', 'pattern']">
Your email must be between 10 and 100 characters long and look like an e-mail address.
</div>
</div>
</md-input-container>
</div>
</md-card-content>
</md-card>
</section>
<h3>Some other data</h3>
<section>
</section>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</md-content>
</div>
The controller with function which is bound to navigation between sections :
var eventDetailsController = function($scope, $http, __config){
$scope.stepChanging = function(event, currentIndex, newIndex)
{
var valid = true;
if(!$scope.eventForm.contacts.$valid)
{
//call some function which triggers contacts validation message
//tried this as suggested in one of SO posts, but it did not work out
$scope.eventForm.contacts.$setTouched();
valid = false;
}
if(!$scope.eventForm.title.$valid)
{
//call some function which triggers title validation message
valid = false;
}
//call some function which triggers all validation messages
return valid;
}
};
Use the $validate()
function:
$scope.eventForm.contacts.$validate();
$scope.eventForm.title.$validate();
From the Docs:
$validate();
Runs each of the registered validators (first synchronous validators and then asynchronous validators). If the validity changes to invalid, the model will be set to
undefined
. If the validity changes to valid, it will set the model to the last available valid$modelValue
, ie either the last parsed value or the last value set from the scope.
