An Angular Directive to intelligently show form validation errors
Angular Bootstrap Show Errors
=============================
An Angular directive for Bootstrap 3 that intelligently applies the 'has-error' class to invalid form fields.
See the Bootstrap Form Validation Done Right in AngularJS blog post to read about the benefits of using this directive.
Installation
---
With Bower
bower install angular-bootstrap-show-errors
Manually
Copy the src/showErrors.js or src/showErrors.min.js file into your project.
Quick Start
---
1. Include the ui.bootstrap.showErrors module in your Angular app
``javascript`
angular.module('yourApp', ['ui.bootstrap.showErrors']);
2. Add the show-errors attribute on the div element that contains the form-group class`html`
3. If you want to avoid the extra bottom margin of form-group, you can use input-group.`html`
Force Validity Check
---
By default this directive doesn't check the validity until the user tabs off the input element. However, there are times you want to show invalid form elements even if the user has not tabbed off. (e.g. before saving the form)
To force the validity check, broadcast the show-errors-check-validity event.
#### Example
`html`
`javascript`
$scope.save = function() {
$scope.$broadcast('show-errors-check-validity');
if ($scope.userForm.$valid) {
// save the user
}
}
Reset
---
If you have functionality to reset your form, you can broadcast the 'show-errors-reset' event to remove any errors on the form elements.
#### Example
`html`
`javascript`
$scope.reset = function() {
$scope.$broadcast('show-errors-reset');
}
Show Valid Entries
---
It's also possible to let the user know when they have entered valid values by applying the 'show-success' class that Bootstrap provides.
You can either apply this globally or on an element by element basis.
##### Globally
The following example shows how to show valid values on every input that uses the showErrors directive.
`javascript`
app = angular.module('yourApp', ['ui.bootstrap.showErrors']);
app.config(['showErrorsConfigProvider', function(showErrorsConfigProvider) {
showErrorsConfigProvider.showSuccess(true);
}]);
##### By Input Element
If you only want to show valid values on specific inputs, then you can pass in the { showSuccess: true } option like the example below shows.
`html`
Skip Form Group Check
---
If your HTML code doesn't have a form-group class, the form group check can be skipped:
`html`
Custom Trigger
---
By default, the validation is not performed until the blur event is trigger on the input trigger
element. However, there are some scenarios where this is not desirable, so it's possible to
override this with the option.
##### By Input Element
`html`
##### Globally
`javascript`
app = angular.module('yourApp', ['ui.bootstrap.showErrors']);
app.config(['showErrorsConfigProvider', function(showErrorsConfigProvider) {
showErrorsConfigProvider.trigger('keypress');
}]);
Development
npm install
bower install
`$3
Just type grunt in the command line to compile and run the karma unit tests once.If you want to have grunt watch for any file changes and automatically compile and run the karma
unit tests, then run the following command:
`
grunt karma:continuous:start watch
