I am using reactive forms Angular 4 and added a custom validator addressValidation to the form group - addressGroup. I am updating all fields to mark as touched on submit click. Looks like the custom validator addressValidation doesn't trigger eventhough I marked all fields as touched. I tried marking the formgroup (addressGroup) as touched and dirty on submit but no help.
In general what I am trying to achieve is - By default I want to make street number and Street name required. If po box is entered then street number and Name is not required. Apt # is only required only if street number and name is entered. I am trying to achieve this on the custom validator in the formGroup.
Any idea on what I am doing wrong. Any other alternate way to achieve the above requirement. I am new to Angular and slowly learning the concepts. Any suggestion on How to trigger the custom validator on submit.
buildForm(): void {
this.contactForm = this.fb.group({
emailAddressControl: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email, Validators.maxLength(100)]],
phoneControl: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(10), Validators.maxLength(10)]],
addressGroup: this.fb.group({
streetNumber: ['', [Validators.maxLength(10)]],
pOBox: ['', [Validators.maxLength(8)]],
aptNumber: ['', [Validators.maxLength(8)]],
streetName: ['', [Validators.maxLength(60)]],
cityControl: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.maxLength(50)]],
stateControl: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.maxLength(2)]],
zipControl: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.maxLength(14)]],
countryControl: ['UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', [Validators.required]],
}, { validator: addressValidation })
})
this.contactForm.valueChanges
.debounceTime(800)
.subscribe(data => this.onValueChanged(data));
this.onValueChanged();
}
onSubmit(): void {
this.markAllFormFieldsAsTouched(this.contactForm);
this.onValueChanged();
}
private markAllFormFieldsAsTouched(formGroup: FormGroup) {
Object.keys(formGroup.controls).forEach(field => {
console.log(field);
const control = formGroup.get(field);
if (control instanceof FormControl) {
control.markAsTouched({ onlySelf: true });
}
else if (control instanceof FormGroup) {
this.markAllFormFieldsAsTouched(control);
control.markAsTouched({ onlySelf: true });
}
else if (control instanceof FormArray) {
for (let formgroupKey in control.controls) {
let formgroup = control.controls[formgroupKey];
if (formgroup instanceof FormGroup) {
this.markAllFormFieldsAsTouched(formgroup);
}
}
}
});
}
function addressValidation(c: AbstractControl): { [key: string]: boolean } | null {
if (c.pristine) {
return null;
}
const pOBoxControl = c.get('pOBox');
const streetNameControl = c.get('streetName');
const streetNumberControl = c.get('streetNumber');
const aptNumberControl = c.get('aptNumber');
if (pOBoxControl.value === null || pOBoxControl.value === "") {
if (streetNumberControl.value === null || streetNumberControl.value === "") {
return { ['streetNumberRequired']: true, ['streetNameRequired']: true };
}
if (streetNameControl.value === null || streetNameControl.value === "") {
return { 'streetNameRequired': true };
}
}
else {
if ((streetNameControl.value === null || streetNameControl.value === "")
&& (streetNameControl.value === null || streetNumberControl.value === "") && aptNumberControl.value !== "") {
return { 'apartmentNumberInvalid': true };
}
}
