        className: 'col-xs-6',
        key: 'email',
        type: 'input',
        templateOptions: {
            type: 'email',
            label: 'Email address',

        },
        validators: {
          validation: Validators.compose([Validators.required])
        }
    }, {
        className: 'col-xs-6',

        type: 'input',
        templateOptions: {
            type: 'password',

            placeholder: 'Password',
            pattern: ''
        },
        validators: {
          validation: Validators.compose([Validators.required])
        }
    }]
  }];
 
  user = {
    email: 'email@gmail.com',
    checked: false
  };
