I am trying to create a conditional required validation on a specific field.I try doing this by return Validators.required back in my function, but this doesn't seem to work. How do I go about doing this? Here's my code:
private _ansat: AbstractControl = new FormControl('', Validators.required);
private _helbred: AbstractControl = new FormControl('', Validators.compose([this.useValidateIfRadio(this._ansat, 0, Validators.required)]) );
constructor(private _fb: FormBuilder) {
this.myForm = this._fb.group({
ansat: this._ansat,
helbred: this._helbred
});
}
useValidateIfRadio (c: AbstractControl, n: number, v) {
return function (control) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
// this.msg = ansatControl.value;
console.log(v);
if (c.value === n) {
resolve(v);
}
else {
resolve(null);
}
});
};
};
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I had a similar problem but couldn't find a answer. Since nobody has answered this yet I'll provide an example of how I solved my problem, and how you can solve your issue using the same solution.
Example: (Phone number is required only if email is not set)
export class UserComponent implements OnInit {
userForm: FormGroup;
constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {}
ngOnInit() {
//Create my userForm and and add initial validators
this.userForm = this.fb.group({
username: [null, [Validators.required]],
name: [null, [Validators.required]],
email: [],
phoneNumber: [null, [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(4)],
});
//Listen to email value and update validators of phoneNumber accordingly
this.userForm.get('email').valueChanges.subscribe(data => this.onEmailValueChanged(data));
}
onEmailValueChanged(value: any){
let phoneNumberControl = this.userForm.get('phoneNumber');
// Using setValidators to add and remove validators. No better support for adding and removing validators to controller atm.
// See issue: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/10567
if(!value){
phoneNumberControl.setValidators([Validators.required, Validators.minLength(4)]);
}else {
phoneNumberControl.setValidators([Validators.minLength(4)]);
}
phoneNumberControl.updateValueAndValidity(); //Need to call this to trigger a update
}
}
So in your case you should add a changeListener to "_ansat" equal to my email listener, and then add required to "_helbred" accordingly.
Just add validator for the field:
if(some_logic) {
this.your_form.get('field_name').setValidators([Validators.required]);
}
