Min / Max Validator in Angular 2 Final
To apply min/max validation
on a number
you will need to create a Custom Validator
Validators class currently only have a few validators, namely
- required
- requiredTrue
- minlength
- maxlength
- pattern
- nullValidator
- compose
- composeAsync
Validator: Here is toned down version of my number Validator, you can improve it as you like
static number(prms = {}): ValidatorFn {
return (control: FormControl): {[key: string]: any} => {
if(isPresent(Validators.required(control))) {
return null;
}
let val: number = control.value;
if(isNaN(val) || /\D/.test(val.toString())) {
return {"number": true};
} else if(!isNaN(prms.min) && !isNaN(prms.max)) {
return val < prms.min || val > prms.max ? {"number": true} : null;
} else if(!isNaN(prms.min)) {
return val < prms.min ? {"number": true} : null;
} else if(!isNaN(prms.max)) {
return val > prms.max ? {"number": true} : null;
} else {
return null;
}
};
}
Usage:
// check for valid number
var numberControl = new FormControl("", [Validators.required, CustomValidators.number()])
// check for valid number and min value
var numberControl = new FormControl("", CustomValidators.number({min: 0}))
// check for valid number and max value
var numberControl = new FormControl("", CustomValidators.number({max: 20}))
// check for valid number and value range ie: [0-20]
var numberControl = new FormControl("", CustomValidators.number({min: 0, max: 20}))
I found a library implementing a lot of custom validators - ng2-validation - that can be used with template-driven forms (attribute directives). Example:
<input type="number" [(ngModel)]="someNumber" name="someNumber" #field="ngModel" [range]="[10, 20]"/>
<p *ngIf="someNumber.errors?.range">Must be in range</p>
