Validate form field only on submit or user input

Question

I have form fields that are validated using required  The problem is  that the error is displayed immediately when the form is rendered  I want it only to be displayed after the user actually typed in the text field  or on submit   How can I implement this

Invoking of validation on form element could be handled by triggering change event on this element:

a) exemple: trigger change on separated element in form

$scope.formName.elementName.$$element.change();

b) exemple: trigger change event for each of form elements for example on ng-submit, ng-click, ng-blur ...

vm.triggerChangeForFormElements = function() {
    // trigger change event for each of form elements
    angular.forEach($scope.formName, function (element, name) {
        if (!name.startsWith('$')) {
            element.$$element.change();
        }
    });
};

c) and one more way for that

    var handdleChange = function(form){
        var formFields = angular.element(form)[0].$$controls;
        angular.forEach(formFields, function(field){
            field.$$element.change();
        });
    };

You can use angularjs form state form  submitted   Initially form  submitted value will be false and will became true after successful form submit

If you want to show error messages on form submission  you can use condition form  submitted to check if an attempt was made to submit the form  Check following example    lt form name  myForm  novalidate ng-submit  myForm  valid  amp  amp  createUser    gt     lt input type  text  name  name  ng-model  user name  placeholder  Enter name of user  required gt     lt div ng-messages  myForm name  error  ng-if  myForm  submitted  gt       lt div ng-message  required  gt Please enter user name  lt  div gt     lt  div gt      lt input type  text  name  address  ng-model  user address  placeholder  Enter Address  required ng-maxlength  30  gt     lt div ng-messages  myForm name  error  ng-if  myForm  submitted  gt       lt div ng-message  required  gt Please enter user address  lt  div gt       lt div ng-message  maxlength  gt Should be less than 30 chars lt  div gt     lt  div gt      lt button type  submit  gt      Create user    lt  button gt   lt  form gt

Use  dirty flag to show the error only after user interacted with the input    lt div gt     lt input type  email  name  email  ng-model  user email  required   gt     lt span ng-show  form email  dirty  amp  amp  form email  error required  gt Email is required lt  span gt   lt  div gt    If you want to trigger the errors only after the user has submitted the form than you may use a separate flag variable as in    lt form ng-submit  submit    name  form  ng-controller  MyCtrl  gt     lt div gt       lt input type  email  name  email  ng-model  user email  required   gt       lt span ng-show   form email  dirty    submitted   amp  amp  form email  error required  gt        Email is required      lt  span gt     lt  div gt      lt div gt       lt button type  submit  gt Submit lt  button gt     lt  div gt   lt  form gt    function MyCtrl  scope      scope submit   function           Set the  submitted  flag to true      scope submitted   true         Send the form to server         http post               Then  if all that JS inside ng-showexpression looks too much for you  you can abstract it into a separate method   function MyCtrl  scope      scope submit   function           Set the  submitted  flag to true      scope submitted   true         Send the form to server         http post             scope hasError   function field  validation       if validation         return   scope form field   dirty  amp  amp   scope form field   error validation        scope submitted  amp  amp   scope form field   error validation              return   scope form field   dirty  amp  amp   scope form field   invalid       scope submitted  amp  amp   scope form field   invalid               lt form ng-submit  submit    name  form  gt     lt div gt       lt input type  email  name  email  ng-model  user email  required   gt       lt span ng-show  hasError  email    required    gt required lt  span gt     lt  div gt      lt div gt       lt button type  submit  gt Submit lt  button gt     lt  div gt   lt  form gt
