AngularJS - submit form programmatically after validation - javascript

I have recently started working on AngularJS 1.6.
I am trying to submit a form programmatically. The reason is I want to validate a few fields (required field validation). I have spent a lot of efforts (probably 3-4 hours) trying to make this work but none of the existing answers on stack overflow or AngularJS docs seems to be working for me today (strange), hence I am posting this as last resort.
Below is my html
<form method="post" id="loginform" name="loginform" ng-submit="loginUser()" novalidate>
<div>
{{message}}
</div>
<div>
<label>User Name</label>
<input type="text" id="txtUserName" ng-model="user.UserName" name="user.UserName" />
</div>
<div>
<label>Password</label>
<input type="text" id="txtPassword" ng-model="user.Password" name="user.Password" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="btnLogin" title="Save" name="btnLogin" value="Login" />
</div>
</form>
My angular code
var demoApp = angular.module('demoApp', []);
demoApp.controller("homeController", ["$scope", "$timeout", function ($scope, $timeout) {
$scope.loginUser = function () {
var form = document.getElementById("loginform");
//var form = $scope.loginform; - tried this here...
//var form = $scope["#loginform"]; tried this
//var form = angular.element(event.target); - tried this...
// tried a lot of other combinations as well...
form.attr("method", "post");
form.attr("action", "Home/Index");
form.append("UserName", $scope.user.UserName);
form.append("Password", $scope.user.Password);
form.append("RememberMe", false);
form.submit();
};
}]);
I keep on getting error 'attr' is not a function.
All I need is submit a form using post method, with values. Just before that I am trying to intercept the submit call and check for validations.
I am open to try any other approach as well. Such as changing the input type from submit to button. Putting the input outside the form. I would be more than happy if validations and submit both can happen any which way. I just want it to post back the values after validating on the client side and then the server will take care of the redirect.
Note: I want the form to do a full postback so that I can get it to redirect to another form. (I know I could use Ajax, but some other day, may be!)

1st of all avoid doing var form = document.getElementById("loginform");. Instead of using form.submit you can use the following code. Do it the angular way cheers :D
$scope.loginUser = function () {
if($scope.loginform.$valid){
user.rememberme=false;
$http({
url: 'Home/Index',
method: "POST",
data: user
})
.then(function(response) {
// success
},
function(response) { // optional
// failed
});
}
};

this is a code to validation if validation not complate button is not enable
<form method="post" id="loginform" name="loginform" ng-submit="loginUser()" novalidate>
<div>
{{message}}
</div>
<div>
<label>User Name</label>
<input type="text" id="txtUserName" required ng-model="user.UserName" name="UserName" />
</div>
<div>
<label>Password</label>
<input type="text" id="txtPassword" ng-model="Password" name="user.Password"required />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" ng-disabled="myForm.UserName.$invalid || myForm.Password.$invalid" id="btnLogin" title="Save" name="btnLogin" value="Login" />
</div>
</form>

You should use $scope when trying to access the form, something like $scope.loginform. But......
Take a look at ng-messages. Heres an example using ng-messages with your form:
<form id="loginform" name="loginform" ng-submit="loginUser()">
<div>
{{message}}
</div>
<div>
<label>User Name</label>
<input type="text" id="txtUserName" ng-model="user.UserName" name="user.UserName" required/>
<div class="help-block" ng-messages="loginform.txtUserName.$error" ng-show="loginform.txtUserName.$touched">
<p ng-message="required">Username is required.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<label>Password</label>
<input type="text" id="txtPassword" ng-model="user.Password" name="user.Password" required/>
<div class="help-block" ng-messages="loginform.txtPassword.$error" ng-show="loginform.txtPassword.$touched">
<p ng-message="required">Password is required.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="btnLogin" title="Save" name="btnLogin" value="Login" ng-click="loginUser()" />
</div>
</form>
Add ngMessages:
var demoApp = angular.module('demoApp', ['ngMessages']);
demoApp.controller("homeController", ["$scope", "$timeout", function ($scope, $timeout) {
$scope.loginUser = function () {
if($scope.loginform.$valid){
//Code to run before submitting (but not validation checks)
} else{
return false;
}
};
}]);
Don't forget to include ngMessages in your app declaration and include the ngMessages.js script file. Note how you can simply use HTML5 validators.

I found the thing I was looking for. In the end I had to create a directive for validating and then submitting. So I am posting it here as a whole answer.
My HTML
<div ng-controller="homeController" ng-init="construct()">
<form method="post" action="Index" role="form" id="loginform" name="loginform" ng-form-commit novalidate class="ng-pristine ng-invalid ng-invalid-required">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="UserName">User ID</label>
<input autocomplete="off" class="form-control ng-valid ng-touched ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-not-empty"
id="UserName" name="UserName" ng-model="user.UserName" type="text" value=""
ng-change="userNameValidation = user.UserName.length == 0">
<span class="field-validation-error text-danger" ng-show="userNameValidation">The User ID field is required.</span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="Password">Password</label>
<input autocomplete="off" class="form-control ng-valid ng-touched ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-not-empty"
id="Password" name="Password" ng-model="user.Password" type="password" value=""
ng-change="passwordValidation = user.Password.length == 0">
<span class="field-validation-error text-danger" ng-show="passwordValidation">The Password field is required.</span>
</div>
<div>
<input type="button" id="btnLogin" title="Login" name="btnLogin" value="Login" ng-click="validateUser(loginform)" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
Look for ng-form-commit on the form element. It is the directive that I created.
My Angular code
var demoApp = angular.module('demoApp', []);
demoApp.factory("commonService", function () {
return {
isNullOrEmptyOrUndefined: function (value) {
return !value;
}
};
});
//This is the directive that helps posting the form back...
demoApp.directive("ngFormCommit", [function () {
return {
require: "form",
link: function ($scope, $el, $attr, $form) {
$form.commit = function () {
$el[0].submit();
};
}
};
}]);
demoApp.controller("homeController", ["$scope", "commonService", function ($scope, commonService) {
$scope.construct = function construct() {
$scope.user = { UserName: "", Password: "" };
};
$scope.userNameValidation = false;
$scope.passwordValidation = false;
$scope.isFormValid = false;
$scope.validateUser = function ($form) {
$scope.isFormValid = true;
$scope.userNameValidation = commonService.isNullOrEmptyOrUndefined($scope.user.UserName);
$scope.passwordValidation = commonService.isNullOrEmptyOrUndefined($scope.user.Password);
$scope.isFormValid = !($scope.userNameValidation || $scope.passwordValidation);
if ($scope.isFormValid === true) {
$scope.loginUser($form);
}
};
$scope.loginUser = function ($form) {
$form.commit();
};
}]);
I found the directive here

Example using Angular 1.5 components.
(function(angular) {
'use strict';
function DemoFormCtrl($timeout, $sce) {
var ctrl = this;
this.$onInit = function() {
this.url = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl(this.url);
/*$timeout(function() {
ctrl.form.$$element[0].submit();
});*/
};
this.validate = function(ev) {
console.log('Running validation.');
if (!this.form) {
return false;
}
};
}
angular.module('app', [])
.component('demoForm', {

1st of all you need to give your form a name here its signupForm .
2nd from there you need to give your input fields names for example here they areusername and email.
Then you can use various angular validation directives to set validation constrains like require , length then you can check for validation error using signupForm.username.$invalid and check various error like signupForm.email.$error.email.
Finally if you want to check if the whole from is valid use signupForm.$invalid
and for number validation use
angular.module('test')
.directive('validNumber', function() {
return {
require: '?ngModel',
link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
if(!ngModelCtrl) {
return;
}
ngModelCtrl.$parsers.push(function(val) {
if (angular.isUndefined(val)) {
val = '';
}
var clean = val.replace( /[^0-9\.]/g, '');
if (val !== clean) {
ngModelCtrl.$setViewValue(clean);
ngModelCtrl.$render();
}
return clean;
});
element.bind('keypress', function(event) {
if(event.keyCode === 32) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
}
};
});
you can find github example from here
var app = angular.module('jsbin', []);
app.controller('DemoCtrl', function() {
});

In order to disable the submit button, you can do something like this:
<form name="myForm">
<input ...>
...
<button type="button" ng-disabled="myForm.$invalid" ng-click="formsubmit();">
Submit
</button>
</form>
Notice that I have put ng-disabled with a condition of myForm being invalid. So, instead of waiting for user to click the button, we are disabling the submit button upfront when form is invalid!
For Email validation, I would suggest you to go with <input type = "email"...> unless you have specific email validation requirements not handled by type = "email"
Here's the updated fiddle which disables the submit button until we put a valid email address.
Edit: Here's an example of how ng-pattern can be used to validate email for given rules (i.e. email must contain #, dot and after dot minimum 2 & maximum 4 alphabet characters)
<input type="text" ng-model="user.email" name="email" required
ng-pattern="/[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+\#[a-zA-Z0-9_]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/"/>
Here's the updated fiddle
Also, regex101 for the email validation regex

angular data not binding

I have a login form that I trying to collect data from to send to my api, the html looks a little like this,
<form novalidate ng-controller="loginController" ng-submit="doLogin()">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Enter email" ng-model="formData.username">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleInputPassword1" placeholder="Password" ng-model="formData.password">
</form>
my login controller looks like this,
var app = app || {};
app.controller('loginController', function($scope, $routeParams, authentication) {
$scope.formData = {};
$scope.doLogin = function(form) {
//authentication.authenticate();
console.log($scope.formData);
}
});
the doLogin function runs on form submit but $scope.formData is empty, I would expect to have a username and a password attribute?
The problem here is that you are making username type="email" and html5 validates with a regex pattern, that the value entered must be valid like: "alex#h.com" here I attach an example on code pen: http://codepen.io/alex06/pen/NRvXNm
and also info about this in angular docs: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/input/input%5Bemail%5D
angular
.module('myApp',[])
.controller('loginController', function($scope) {
$scope.formData;
$scope.doLogin = function(form) {
//authentication.authenticate();
console.log($scope.formData);
}
});
<div ng-app="myApp">
<form novalidate ng-controller="loginController" ng-submit="doLogin()" name="myForm">
<input type="email" name="emailInput" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Enter email" ng-model="formData.username">
<span style="color: red;" ng-show="myForm.emailInput.$error.email">error</span>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleInputPassword1" placeholder="Password" ng-model="formData.password">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</div>

Angular $setPristine is not working

Html :
I'm using controller as syntax.
<form name="occupantDetailForm" role="form" novalidate class="form-validation">
<div class="form-group form-md-line-input form-md-floating-label no-hint">
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="LastName" ng-model="vm.occupantDetail.lastName" ng-class="{'edited':vm.occupantDetail.lastName}" maxlength="#OccupantDetail.MaxLength" required>
<label>#L("LastName")</label>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary blue" ng-click="vm.saveOccupantDetail(occupantDetailForm)" ng-disabled="occupantDetailForm.$invalid"><i class="fa fa-save"></i> <span>#L("Save")</span></button>
</form>
JS :
vm.saveOccupantDetail = function (form) {
vm.occupantDetailForm = form;
createOrEditOccupantDetail();//create or edit
vm.occupantDetail = {};
vm.occupantDetailForm.$setPristine();
}
Q : I have tried many ways but it is not working ? When I use the vm.occupantDetailForm.$setUntouched(); then it works fine.But then the problem is Save button is not being disabled.Could you tell me why ? When I use the vm.occupantDetailForm.$setPristine(); only then it is not working at all.Why ? Thanks.
$setPristine only marks your form as $pristine and to actually reset the form you need, set your model to a new object.
A better explanation is given here in the link:
$setPristine not working
Below is some code which might help you:
<div ng-app="myapp">
<div ng-controller="UserCtrl">
<form name="user_form" novalidate>
<input name="name" ng-model="user.name" placeholder="Name" required/>
<button class="button" ng-click="reset()">Reset</button>
</form>
<p>
Pristine: {{user_form.$pristine}}
</p>
</div>
</div>
Controller Code:
var app = angular.module('myapp', []);
function UserCtrl($scope) {
$scope.reset = function() {
$scope.user = {};
$scope.user.name = "";
$scope.user_form.$setPristine();
$scope.user = {};
}
}
A fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/p7e1nway/1/
Update:, can you try setting $submitted to false
$scope.occupantDetailForm.$setPristine();
$scope.occupantDetailForm.$setUntouched();
$scope.occupantDetailForm.$submitted = false;

angularjs form reset error

i'm trying to do a form with validations using angularjs and so far i did a good job. But when i commit my reset button all the fields reset except for the error messages i get from my validation part. How can i get rid of all the fields and error messages when i reset my form.
This is how it is when i press my reset button
this is my code
<div class="page-header"><center><h2>Give us your Feedback</h2></center></div>
<!-- pass in the variable if our form is valid or invalid -->
<form name="userForm" ng-submit="submitForm(userForm.$valid)" novalidate>

.controller('ContactCtrl', function($scope,$state,$ionicPopup, $timeout) {
$scope.showfeedback = function() {
$state.go('app.sfeedback');
};
$scope.submitForm = function(isValid) {
$scope.submitted = true;
// check to make sure the form is completely valid
if (!isValid) {
var alertPopup = $ionicPopup.alert({
title: 'Invalid data entered!',
});
} else {
var alertPopup = $ionicPopup.alert({
title: 'Feedback submitted',
});
}
};
$scope.reset = function() {
var original = $scope.user;
$scope.user= angular.copy(original)
$scope.userForm.$setPristine()
};
})
var original = $scope.user;
when resetting :
$scope.user= angular.copy(original);
$scope.userForm.$setPristine();
remove
type='reset' in <button>
here is the Angular Documentation for form controllers.
Use the following to reset dirty state
$scope.form.$setPristine();
Use the following to reset to clear validation
$scope.form.$setValidity();
There's API documentation on the FormController.
This allowed me to find that there's other methods to call such as:
$setUntouched() - which is a function I was using if the user has focused on the field, and then left the field, this clears this feature when you run it.
I created a simple form reset function which you can use too.
// Set the following in your controller for the form/page.
// Allows you to set default form values on fields.
$scope.defaultFormData = { username : 'Bob'}
// Save a copy of the defaultFormData
$scope.resetCopy = angular.copy($scope.defaultFormData);
// Create a method to reset the form back to it's original state.
$scope.resetForm = function() {
// Set the field values back to the original default values
$scope.defaultFormData = angular.copy($scope.resetCopy);
$scope.myForm.$setPristine();
$scope.myForm.$setValidity();
$scope.myForm.$setUntouched();
// in my case I had to call $apply to refresh the page, you may also need this.
$scope.$apply();
}
In your form, this simple setup will allow you to reset the form
<form ng-submit="doSomethingOnSubmit()" name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="username" ng-model="username" ng-required />
<input type="password" name="password" ng-model="password" ng-required />
<button type="button" ng-click="resetForm()">Reset</button>
<button type="submit">Log In</button>
</form>
I went with...
$scope.form.$setPristine();
$scope.form.$error = {};
Feels hacky... but a lot about angular does.
Besides... this was the only thing that worked.
I had the same problem and used the following code to completely reset the form :
$scope.resetForm = function(){
// reset your model data
$scope.user = ...
// reset all errors
for (var att in $scope.userForm.$error) {
if ($scope.userForm.$error.hasOwnProperty(att)) {
$scope.userForm.$setValidity(att, true);
}
}
// reset validation's state
$scope.userForm.$setPristine(true);
};
To me using $setPristine to reset the form is a hack.
The real solution is to keep it like it should be:
<button type="reset" ng-click="reset()"></button>
then in angular:
var original = angular.copy($scope.user);
$scope.reset = function() {
$scope.user = angular.copy(original);
};
and that's it.
Use this
<button type="button" ng-click='resetForm()'>Reset</button>
In Controller
$scope.resetForm = function(){
$scope.userForm.$dirty = false;
$scope.userForm.$pristine = true;
$scope.userForm.$submitted = false;
};
Its working for me
In case you don't have a master (dynamic models from server), and you want to reset the form but only the binded part of the model you can use this snippet:
function resetForm(form){
_.forEach(form, function(elem){
if(elem !== undefined && elem.$modelValue !== undefined){
elem.$viewValue = null;
elem.$commitViewValue();
}
});
}
And then you can use it with a standard reset button like so:
<button type="reset" ng-click="resetForm(MyForm);MyForm.$setValidity();">reset</button>
Give us your Feedback
<!-- pass in the variable if our form is valid or invalid -->
<form name="userForm" ng-submit="submitForm(userForm.$valid)" novalidate>
<!-- NAME -->
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error' : userForm.name.$invalid && !userForm.name.$dirty }">
<label>Name*</label>
<input type="text" name="name" class="item-input-wrapper form-control" ng-model="user.name" required>
<p ng-show="userForm.name.$invalid && !userForm.name.$pristine " class="help-block"><font color="#009ACD">You name is required.</font></p>
</div>
<!-- EMAIL -->
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error' : userForm.email.$invalid && !userForm.email.$dirty }">

I kept the type="reset" in my button. What I did was the ng-click="resetForm(userForm)" (using userFrom to match your example) and the controller defines resetForm() as
scope.resetForm = function(controller) {
controller.$commitViewValue();
controller.$setPristine();
};
Here is what happens:
When the reset button is clicked, it will bring back the original values as specified by the value attribute on the input
The $commitViewValue() will force the write of whatever is on the view presently to the $modelValue of each field (no need to iterate manually), without this the last $modelValue would still be stored rather than reset.
The $setPristine() will reset any other validation and submitted fields.
In my angular-bootstrap-validator I already had the FormController as such I didn't need to pass in the form itself.
In My Form
<form angular-validator-submit="submitReview()" name="formReview" novalidate angular-validator>
<input type="text" name="Rating" validate-on="Rating" class="form-control"
ng-model="Review.Rating" required-message="'Enter Rating'" required>
<button type="button" ng-click="reset()">Cancel</button>
</form>
app.controller('AddReview', function ($scope) {
$scope.reset= function () {
$scope.formReview.reset()
};
});
only need to call $scope.formReview.reset() where formReview is my form name.
My form is inside another scope so my solution need to use $$postDigest
$scope.$$postDigest(function() {
$scope.form.$error = {};
});
To reset the validations we have to do two things:
clear the fields
Add the following:
$scope.programCreateFrm.$dirty = false;
$scope.programCreateFrm.$pristine = true;
$scope.programCreateFrm.$submitted = false;
programCreateFrm is the name of the form.
For example:
<form name="programCreateFrm" ng-submit="programCreateFrm.$valid && createProgram(programs)" novalidate>
This code is working for me.

How do I send form data to server using angular?

Currently, I am using a server side framework CakePHP to build my app.
I need to integrate angular into my app.
Currently, I send the following inputs
User.old_password, User.new_password, User.new_password_confirm
to this url /mypasswords/new using POST
This works just fine.
I understand that to send data to server side I need to use services in Angular.
This is my Angular code so far.
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.controller('passwordController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.submitted = false;
$scope.changePasswordForm = function() {
if ($scope.change_password_form.$valid) {
// Submit as normal
} else {
$scope.change_password_form.submitted = true;
}
}
}]);
services = angular.module('myApp.services', ['ngResource']);
services.factory("UserService", function($http, $q) {
var service;
// service code here
});
So what do I write in the //service code here part? What other parts am I missing?
My form currently looks like this as html after being rendered. (I know I probably have to remove action and method attributes from my form. Do I?)
<form action="/mypasswords/new" id="change_password_form" name="change_password_form" ng-controller="passwordController" ng-submit="changePasswordForm()" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" class="ng-scope ng-pristine ng-valid">
<div style="display:none;"><input type="hidden" name="_method" value="POST"></div>
<input name="data[User][old_password]" id="u56" placeholder="Enter old password..." class="u56 profile_input" type="password">
<input name="data[User][new_password]" id="u57" placeholder="Enter new password..." class="u57 profile_input" type="password">
<input name="data[User][new_password_confirm]" id="u58" placeholder="Enter new password..." class="u58 profile_input" type="password">
<div id="u25" class="u25_container">
<div id="u25_img" class="clear_all_button detectCanvas" onclick="document.getElementById('change_password_form').reset()">
</div>
</div>
<div id="u27" class="u27_container">
<input id="u27_img" class="submit_button detectCanvas" type="submit" value="SAVE">
</div>
</form>
Thank you.
if you want just to send the form with ajax, No need to create factory, just do it in controller like this:
var app = angular.module("myApp", [$http]);
app.controller('passwordController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.submitted = false;
$scope.changePasswordForm = function() {
if ($scope.change_password_form.$valid) {
//note: use full url, not partial....
$http.post('http://myweb.com/mypasswords/new', change_password_form.Data)
.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
//do anything when it success..
})
.error(function(data, status, headers, config){
//do anything when errors...
});
} else {
$scope.change_password_form.submitted = true;
}
}
}]);
And your form will looks like this:
<form id="change_password_form" name="change_password_form" ng-controller="passwordController" ng-submit="changePasswordForm()" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" class="ng-scope ng-pristine ng-valid">
<div style="display:none;"><input type="hidden" name="_method" value="POST"></div>
<input name="data[User][old_password]" ng-model="Data.old_password" id="u56" placeholder="Enter old password..." class="u56 profile_input" type="password">
<input name="data[User][new_password]" ng-model="Data.new_password" id="u57" placeholder="Enter new password..." class="u57 profile_input" type="password">
<input name="data[User][new_password_confirm]" ng-model="Data.new_password_confirm" id="u58" placeholder="Enter new password..." class="u58 profile_input" type="password">
<div id="u25" class="u25_container">
<div id="u25_img" class="clear_all_button detectCanvas" onclick="document.getElementById('change_password_form').reset()">
</div>
</div>
<div id="u27" class="u27_container">
<input id="u27_img" class="submit_button detectCanvas" type="submit" value="SAVE">
</div>
</form>
Step 1: write form using normal html instead of FormHelper in CakePHP
The form should look like this:
<form name="change_password_form" ng-controller="passwordController"
ng-submit="changePasswordForm()">
<input name="data[User][old_password]" ng-model="data.User.old_password" type="password" placeholder="Enter old password..." class="u56 profile_input">
<input name="data[User][new_password]" ng-model="data.User.new_password" type="password" placeholder="Enter new password..." class="u57 profile_input">
<input name="data[User][new_password_confirm]" ng-model="data.User.new_password_confirm" type="password" placeholder="Enter new password again..." class="u58 profile_input">
<div id="u25"
class="u25_container">
<div id="u25_img"
class="clear_all_button detectCanvas" onclick="document.getElementById('change_password_form').reset()">
</div>
</div>
<div id="u27"
class="u27_container">
<button type="submit" id="u27_img" ng-click="debug()"
class="submit_button detectCanvas" />
</div>
</form>
Step 2: write the app.js in the following manner.
the X-Requested-With header is important if you want to use the CakePHP $this->request->is('ajax')
angular.module("myApp", [])
.controller('passwordController', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.changePasswordForm = function() {
console.log('change passwrd form activated');
//note: use full url, not partial....
$http({
method : 'POST',
url : '/mypasswords/new',
data : $.param($scope.data), // pass in data as strings
headers : { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'X-Requested-With' : 'XMLHttpRequest'
} // set the headers so angular passing info as form data (not request payload)
})
.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
//do anything when it success..
console.log('works!');
})
.error(function(data, status, headers, config){
//do anything when errors...
console.log('errors!');
});
}
$scope.debug = function () {
console.log($scope);
}
});
