conditionalValidators
The conditionalValidators
function is a validator factory that attaches validators to a form control conditionally. The conditions are based on the value of another form control in the same form group.
Use Cases:
-
Dependent Form Fields: This function can be used in cases where the validation of a form field depends on the value of another field. For instance, let's say we have a form with a "country" select field and a "state" input field. The "state" field should be required only if the "country" field is set to "United States". In this case, the conditionalValidators function can be used to add the
Validators.required
validator to the "state" field only if the "country" field value is "United States". -
Dynamic Form Validation: In cases where the form validation requirements change based on the user's input, this function allows developers to easily apply different validation rules on-the-fly. For example, in a checkout form, if the user selects "credit card" as the payment method, the form needs to validate credit card related fields, but if "paypal" is selected, those validations are not necessary.
The function can take an optional conditionalCheck
function. This function can be used to provide a custom condition instead of the default one. The custom condition could be based on complex logic involving multiple form controls.
Reactive Form Validation
// In a registration form, the conditionalValidators function is used to apply the Validators.
// required validator on the promoCode text field only when the hasPromoCode checkbox is checked.
this.registrationForm = this.fb.group({
hasPromoCode: [false],
promoCode: ['', this.conditionalValidators<boolean>( 'hasPromoCode', Validators.required, value => value === true )]
});
// In an article submission form, the conditionalValidators function applies Validators.required
// and Validators.min(1) on the imageCount field only if the hasImages checkbox is checked.
// This ensures that a user enters the number of images (greater than 0) only when they've
// indicated they are including images.
this.articleForm = this.fb.group({
hasImages: [false],
imageCount: ['', this.conditionalValidators<boolean>( 'hasImages',
[Validators.required, Validators.min(1)], value => value === true )]
});
// The studentForm has three fields: 'age' (required), 'isStudent' (optional),
// and 'guardianContact' which is required only when the user is a student and their
// age is less than 18.
this.studentForm = this.fb.group({
age: ['', Validators.required],
isStudent: [false],
guardianContact: ['', this.conditionalValidators<boolean>( 'isStudent', [Validators.required],
(isStudent, formControl) => isStudent && formControl.parent?.get('age')?.value < 18 )]
});
// The testGroup form contains two fields: 'firstName' and 'email'. The 'email' field is
// conditionally required and must end with 'gmail.com' only when the 'firstName' field is
// filled with "James" or the 'email' itself includes "test".
this.testGroup = this.fb.group({
firstName: [''],
email: ['', [this.ngJoyDynamicValidatorsService.conditionalValidators<string>('firstName',
[Validators.required, this.ngJoyValidatorsService.endsWith('gmail.com', "Only gmail.com please")],
(value: any,emailControl:FormControl) => value === "James" || emailControl.value.includes("test"))]]
});
//In an online product listing form, certain fields like product details and review comments
// become conditionally required based on the type of product and its rating, showcasing the
// dynamic nature and flexibility of conditionalValidators.
this.productListingForm = this.fb.group({
productName: ['', Validators.required],
productPrice: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.min(1)]],
productCategory: ['', Validators.required],
productDetails: ['', this.conditionalValidators<string>('productCategory',
[Validators.required],
(productCategory) => productCategory === 'electronics' || productCategory === 'books'
)],
productRating: [5, [Validators.min(1), Validators.max(5)]],
reviewComments: ['', this.conditionalValidators<number>('productRating',
[Validators.required],
(productRating) => productRating < 3
)],
hasPromotion: [false],
promotionPrice: ['', this.conditionalValidators<boolean>('hasPromotion',
[Validators.required, Validators.min(1)],
(hasPromotion, formControl) => hasPromotion === true && formControl.value < formControl.parent?.get('productPrice')?.value
)],
hasShipping: [true],
shippingCost: ['', this.conditionalValidators<boolean>('hasShipping',
[Validators.required, Validators.min(0)],
(hasShipping, shippingControl) => hasShipping === true && ((shippingControl.value > 0 && shippingControl.value < formControl.parent?.get('productPrice')?.value * 0.1) || shippingControl.value === 0)
)]
});
// let's break it down!
// productCategory: This is a field in which the seller is required to input the category of
// the product they're listing. It could be any string, but for the purpose of this form,
// we're considering the validation for 'electronics' and 'books'.
// productDetails: This field is a conditional field that's dependent on the productCategory.
// As per our form design, detailed product information is necessary when the product belongs
// to 'electronics' or 'books' category. This is implemented using conditionalValidators, which
// make productDetails a required field only when the productCategory is either 'electronics'
// or 'books'.
//productRating: This field represents the rating of the product, where the seller can
// specify a rating between 1 and 5.
//reviewComments: This is another conditional field that depends on the productRating.
// If the productRating is less than 3, the form expects the seller to provide review
// comments to justify this low rating. Again, conditionalValidators is at work here,
// making reviewComments a required field only when the productRating is less than 3.
//Now, why is this so amazing? The power and flexibility of conditionalValidators lie in their
// ability to adapt to different conditions, enhancing the dynamics of form validation.
//It allows you to handle multiple scenarios within your form, reducing the complexity and
// the number of checks you would have to perform otherwise. It provides a highly flexible
// approach to handle form validation by not only allowing conditions based on other fields'
// values, but also based on the field's own value, like we did with promotionPrice and
// shippingCost.
// In addition, by providing an easier way to create dynamic forms, it enhances the user
// experience. It only enforces validation rules when it's needed, avoiding unnecessary inputs
// from users, and making the form filling process more intuitive and efficient.
// This is particularly beneficial in complex forms with many fields and rules.
//In summary, conditionalValidators is a supercharged validation mechanism that brings both
// power and flexibility to your forms, making them smarter, more dynamic, and user-friendly.
// It's a great tool for developers to create advanced forms with complex validation scenarios.
conditionalRequiredValidator
This conditionalRequiredValidator
function is a custom validation function in Angular. It checks whether a certain field is required based on the condition evaluated on another dependent field.
Reactive Form Validation
//first use Case
this.sampleForm = this.fb.group({
checkbox: [false],
checkboxDependent: [null, this.conditionalRequiredValidator( 'checkbox', control => control.value === true)]
});
//second use case
this.sampleForm = this.fb.group({
selectField: ['defaultOption'],
dependentField: [null, this.conditionalRequiredValidator( 'selectField', control => control.value === 'specificOption','This field is required when specific option is selected in the dropdown.' )]
});
coRequiredValidator
coRequiredValidator is a custom validator that checks if at least one of a group of controls has a value. This could be useful when you have a situation where a user must provide at least one type of contact information, such as a phone number or an email, but you don't mind which one they provide
Reactive Form Validation
this.demoForm = this.fb.group({
email: ['',[this.ngJoyDynamicValidatorsService.coRequiredValidator('email', 'phone', 'Either field1 or field2 is required.')]],
phone: ['',[this.ngJoyDynamicValidatorsService.coRequiredValidator('email', 'phone', 'Either field1 or field2 is required.')]]
});
ibanValidator
The ibanValidator
function is a validator function for International Bank Account Numbers (IBAN). It takes an optional error message object as a parameter and returns a ValidatorFn
that is used to validate form controls. The following are the key steps that this function is performing:
-
Extracting Country Code: It starts by extracting the country code from the IBAN. The country code in an IBAN is always the first two characters.
-
Country Support: The function checks if the country code extracted from the IBAN is supported or not. This is done by checking the
ibanCountries
-
Length Check: Next, it checks if the length of the IBAN matches the length defined for the country in the
ibanCountryLengths
object. -
Rearranging and Converting Characters to Numbers: If the country is supported and the length is valid, the function then rearranges the IBAN by moving the first four characters to the end. This is followed by converting any letters in the IBAN to their equivalent numeric values.
-
Performing Mod-97 Operation: The validator then performs a Modulo-97 operation on the resulting number. This is an essential part of the IBAN validation as per the international standard.
-
Final Validation Check: Finally, if the remainder from the Mod-97 operation equals '1', the function concludes that the IBAN is valid, otherwise, it returns an error.
This function follows the official procedure for validating an IBAN and provides detailed error messages when the validation fails at any step. This allows for better debugging and user feedback.
Reactive Form Validation
this.paymentForm = this.fb.group({
iban: ["",[this.ngJoyValidators.ibanValidator()]]
});
creditCard
The validation process involves a few steps:
- The function first checks if the control's value is not empty. If it's empty, it returns null, indicating no errors.
- Next, it checks if the input value consists only of digits. If the input contains non-digit characters, it's considered invalid and an error message is returned.
- Then, the function checks if the credit card type is detectable based on the card type -
- American Express (amex)
- China UnionPay (china_union)
- Dankort (dankort)
- Diners Club (diners)
- Discover (discover)
- Elo (elo)
- Hipercard (hipercard)
- JCB (jcb)
- Maestro (maestro)
- Mastercard (mastercard)
- Visa (visa)
- MIR (mir)
- NSPK (nspk)
- Troy (troy)
- Visa Electron (visa_electron)
- RuPay (rupay)
- Interpayment (interpayment)
- Instapayment (instapayment)
- Aura (aura)
- CardGuard (cardguard)
If the card type can't be determined, the function returns an error message, considering the input invalid.
- Lastly, the function runs Luhn's algorithm on the input. Luhn's algorithm is a common checksum algorithm used to validate a variety of identification numbers, especially credit card numbers. If the card number fails this checksum test, it is considered invalid and an error message is returned.
- If the input passes all these tests, the function returns null, indicating no errors in the input, and hence the credit card number is valid.
So, in essence, this function validates if the entered credit card number is formatted correctly , it match a type , and if it could be a plausible credit card number by applying the Luhn algorithm.
Reactive Form Validation
this.paymentForm = this.fb.group({
cardNumber: ['', [this.ngJoyValidators.creditCard('Please enter a valid card number.')]]
});
sumOfFields
The sumOfFields
function is a validator that validates if the sum of specified fields in a FormGroup matches an expected value. Here's how it works:
-
Fetch Field Values: It first maps over the array of field names (passed as
fields
), using theget
method on thegroup
object (which is the FormGroup the validator is attached to) to retrieve the corresponding form controls. It gets the value from each control, parsing it as a float if it exists, or using 0 if the control is not present or its value is falsy. -
Calculate Total Sum: It then reduces this array of field values into a single sum (i.e., it adds all of the values together).
-
Compare With Expected Value: It compares this sum to the
sumValue
parameter that was passed in. If they are not equal, it returns a validation error with the providederrorMessage
. If they are equal, it returns null, signifying no error.
This function can be useful when you have a form where certain fields need to add up to a specific total. For example, it might be used in a budgeting app where the user is inputting amounts for different categories, and you want to make sure they add up to the total budget
Reactive Form Validation
this.myForm = this.fb.group({
field1: [0],
field2: [0],
field3: [0],
field4: [0]
}, { validators: this.validationService.sumOfFields(['field1', 'field2', 'field3'], 100, 'The sum of fields must be 100.') }
);
asciiValidator
Allows user to enter the input which is in ascii format only.
Reactive Form Validation
firstName: ['', [
this.validationService.asciiValidator('Name can only contain ASCII characters.'),
]],
allFieldsFilled
The allFieldsFilled
function is a custom validator that checks if all the controls within a FormArray are valid. A FormArray in Angular represents an array of AbstractControl, where each control in the array can be a FormGroup, FormControl, or another FormArray.
When this validator is used on a FormArray, it iterates through all the controls in the array. If it finds any control that is not valid (i.e., fails validation checks specified on that control), it will return an error object {allFieldsFilled: {valid: false, message}}
. Here valid
is set to false
, indicating that the validation failed and message
is the error message you pass when calling allFieldsFilled()
method.
If all the controls in the FormArray are valid, it will return null
, which means there is no error and the validation passed successfully.
This validator can be useful when you have a dynamic form where users can add or remove fields (or sets of fields), and you want to ensure that every field in the form is filled before the form is submitted.
Reactive Form Validation
aliases: this.fb.array([
this.fb.control('')
],
{validators: [this.ngJoyValidatorsService.allFieldsFilled()]
})
minMaxArrayLength
The minMaxArrayLength
function is a custom validator in Angular that checks if the length of an array falls within a specified range, defined by the min
and max
parameters. This validator can be used for validating FormArray instances in Angular forms.
Reactive Form Validation
aliases: this.fb.array([
this.fb.control('')
], {validators: [this.ngJoyValidatorsService.minMaxArrayLength(3, 7, "Min 3 aliases", "Max 7 aliases")]
})
creditCard

scriptLanguageType
This custom validator checks if the input text of a control follows a specific script (writing system). You specify the name of the script when using this validator and it will ensure that all characters in the input string are from that script.
In other words, you can use this validator to enforce that an input field should only contain characters from a certain script such as Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Bengali, Thai, Chinese, Japanese Hiragana, Japanese Katakana, or Korean.

unique
The unique
function is a checks whether the value of the field it is applied to is unique within the scope of its sibling controls in the parent form array.
Here is a step-by-step description of what the function does:
-
It receives a custom error message as a parameter, with a default message of 'The value must be unique'.
-
It then accesses the value of the control to which it's applied.
-
The function assumes that the parent of the control is a form array, and attempts to retrieve it. If the form array or its controls are not available (for instance, if the control is not part of a form array), it returns
null
, indicating no validation errors. -
The function then iterates over each control in the parent form array, excluding the current control.
-
It creates an array of values for these sibling controls and checks if the array contains a value that matches the value of the current control.
-
If it finds any matching values, it means that the value of the current control is not unique. The function then returns an error object with the error message.
-
If no matching values are found, it means that the value of the current control is unique within the form array. The function returns
null
, indicating no validation errors.
In summary, this function is used to ensure that a value entered into a control in a form array is unique among the values of its sibling controls.
