I have a textarea for which I have a validation pattern. I require the character count of this field even when the value entered is invalid/does not match the pattern.

What I see currently is that when the pattern match return invalid for the ng-model binded textarea, the length of textarea is zero.I need a way to get the count even in invalid case.

Code Follows :- 

<textarea class="form-control" id="ccListId" name="ccListName" ng-model="ccList" my-maxlength=255 maxlength=255 ng-pattern="emailCCListRegex"></textarea>

Could anyone suggest a way here..thanks in advance

  • That link doesn't address the issue here, which is that invalid input will have a zero-length model value. I believe you want to be checking the length of the `$viewValue` instead: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/type/ngModel.NgModelController (unfortunately I'm rusty enough at this that I'm not able to give a full answer) – Daniel Beck Feb 29 '16 at 18:13
