I'm developing a form using Angular2's FormBuilder with custom validation.
Problem: In customValidator I'm using this
to access the local object data
. I'm getting a undefined
error when the validation is executed.
It looks like the customValidator is executed in a different object and therefore changing the this
reference
Question: How can I pass a reference of this
to the customValidator?
export class Ast {
public data:any;
public myForm:FormGroup;
constructor(private _fb:FormBuilder) {
this.data = {foo: "bar"};
}
customValidator(c: FormControl) {
if (this.data.foo == "bar") { // This line crashes
// DO something
}
}
ngOnInit() {
this.myForm = this._fb.group({
some_field: ['', [<any>Validators.required], this.customValidator]
})
}
}
