AngularJS forms and controls can validate input data.
Input Validation
In the previous chapter, you learned about AngularJS forms and controls.
AngularJS forms and controls can provide validation services, and notify users of invalid input.
Client-side validation cannot alone secure user input. Server side validation is also necessary. |

The HTML form attribute novalidate is used to disable default browser validation. |
Example Explained
The AngularJS directive ng-model binds the input elements to the model.
The model object has two properties: user and email.
Because of ng-show, the spans with color:red are displayed only when user or email is $dirty and $invalid.
Property | Description |
---|---|
$dirty | The user has interacted with the field. |
$valid | The field content is valid. |
$invalid | The field content is invalid. |
$pristine | User has not interacted with the field yet. |
