I have written a custom directive to ensure that a text box can take only integer values. But After using the directive, my $error.required flag always stay false irrespective of whether I have a value in the text field or not.
It works fine if I use the native input type,
<input name="name" ng-model="testvalue.number" required />
but when I use the custom directive,
<number-only-input input-value="testvalue.number" input-name="name"/>
shippingForm.name.$error.required is always false and it doesn't show the error "Please enter a value" even if the field is empty This is the code
<body ng-controller="ExampleController">
<form name="shippingForm" novalidate>
<!--<input name="name" ng-model="testvalue.number" required />-->
<number-only-input input-value="testvalue.number" input-name="name"/>
<span class="error" ng-show="shippingForm.name.$error.required">
Please enter a value
</span>
</form>
</body>
<script>
angular.module('TextboxExample', [])
.controller('ExampleController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.testvalue = {number: 1, validity: true}
}])
.directive('numberOnlyInput', function () {
return {
restrict: 'EA',
template: '<input name="{{inputName}}" ng-model="inputValue" required />',
scope: {
inputValue: '=',
inputName: '='
},
link: function (scope) {
scope.$watch('inputValue', function(newValue,oldValue) {
if (newValue == undefined || newValue == null || newValue == "") {
return;
}
if (isNaN(newValue))
{
scope.inputValue = oldValue;
return;
}
});
}
};
});
</script>
Please guide
