📚 General info

• Input fields of main form have validation so incorrect inputs trigger a red boundary around the input field and an error message.
• Styling of the template-driven forms is done using Bootstrap.

📶 Technologies

• Angular v10
• Bootstrap v4 component library used.

💾 Setup

• Install dependencies using npm i.
• Run ng serve for a dev server.
• Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

💻 Code Examples

• div with firstName field entry that is validated using a validator and directive called MustMatch

<div class="form-group">
  <label for="firstName">First Name</label>
  <input
    class="form-control"
    name="firstName"
    [(ngModel)]="model.firstName"
    #firstName="ngModel"
    [ngClass]="{ 'is-invalid': f.submitted && firstName.invalid }"
    required
  />
  <div *ngIf="f.submitted && firstName.invalid" class="invalid-feedback ">
    <div *ngIf="firstName?.errors.required">
      First Name is required
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

🆒 Features

• All fields are required, the email field must be a valid email address and the password field must have a min length of 6.
• A custom validator and directive called MustMatch is used to validate that the confirm password and password fields match.
• The form validates on submit rather than as soon as each field is changed, this is implemented using the f.submitted property of the #f="ngForm" template variable which is true after the form is submitted for the first time.
