Angularjs ng minlength directive
The ng-minlength
directive in AngularJS allows you to specify a minimum length requirement for an input field. Here's an example:
<input type="text" ng-model="myText" ng-minlength="3">
In this example, we're using the ng-minlength
directive to set a minimum length requirement of 3 characters for an input field. The ng-model
directive is used to bind the value of the input field to the myText
variable.
If the user enters a value into the input field that is less than 3 characters long, AngularJS will set the $invalid
flag on the form control. You can use this flag to show an error message or disable a submit button until the input meets the minimum length requirement.
Here's an example of how you might use the $invalid
flag to show an error message:
<input type="text" ng-model="myText" ng-minlength="3"> <div ng-show="myForm.myInput.$invalid && !myForm.myInput.$pristine">Please enter at least 3 characters.</div>
In this example, we're using the ng-show
directive to show an error message if the input field is $invalid
and not $pristine
(i.e. the user has interacted with the field).
Note that the ng-minlength
directive only works with input
, textarea
, and select
elements.
