AngularJS Forms


Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on AngularJS. In this tutorial, we will be studying about AngularJS Forms.

AngularJS enhances filling and validation of forms. We can make use of ng-click event to handle the click button and utilize $dirty and $invalid flags to do validation in a seamless manner. Make use of novalidate with a form declaration to disable any browser-specific validation. The form controls heavily utilizes AngularJS events. Let's take a look at some of the events.

AngularJS Events

AngularJS makes available multiple events that are associated with the HTML controls. For instance, the ng-click directive is mainly associated with a button. Following are the events supported in AngularJS -

  • ng-click
  • ng-dbl-click
  • ng-change
  • ng-keydown
  • ng-keyup
  • ng-keypress
  • ng-mousenter
  • ng-mouseleave
  • ng-mousedown
  • ng-mouseup
  • ng-mousemove
  • ng-mouseover
  • ng-keypress

ng-click Event

Reset data of a form using on-click directive of a button.

<input name = "firstname" type = "text" ng-model = "firstName" required>
<input name = "lastname" type = "text" ng-model = "lastName" required>
<input name = "email" type = "email" ng-model = "email" required>
<button ng-click = "reset()">Reset</button>

<script>
   function studentController($scope) { 
      $scope.reset = function() {
         $scope.firstName = "Kennedy";
         $scope.lastName = "Nkpara";
         $scope.email = "KennedyNkpara@webdesigntutorialz.com";
      }   
      
      $scope.reset();
   }
</script>


Validate Data

The following can be used to track error -

  • $dirty - This states that value has been changed.
  • $invalid - This states that value entered is invalid.
  • $error - This states the exact error.

Example

The following example below illustrates all the above mentioned directives -

Create a file testAngularJS.html.

<html>
   <head>
      <title>Angular JS Forms</title>
      <script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"></script>
      
      <style>
         table, th , td {
            border: 1px solid grey;
            border-collapse: collapse;
            padding: 5px;
         }
         table tr:nth-child(odd) {
            background-color: #f2f2f2;
         }
         table tr:nth-child(even) {
            background-color: #ffffff;
         }
      </style>
      
   </head>
   <body>
      
      <h2>AngularJS Sample Application</h2>
      <div ng-app = "mainApp" ng-controller = "studentController">
