Angular Template-Driven Form Validation
April 11, 2020
Validating a Template-Driven Form in Angular is similar to how it works in a Reactive Form. The properties and control status CSS classes are the same. There are seven (7) useful CSS classes you can use in Angular:
ng-pristine
(data in the form field has not changed)ng-dirty
(data in the form field has changed)ng-valid
(all requirements are met)ng-invalid
(at least one requirement is not met)ng-touched
(a field has been clicked or touched)ng-untouched
(a field has not been clicked or touched)ng-pending
(pending state of a input with async validation)
There are more than the ones mentioned above (e.g. ng-empty
, ng-not-empty)
. Using these classes can display useful messages to help users fill forms properly to ensure that your forms are validated instantly.
