Dynamic Validation Using Ng-pattern Angularjs

I am trying to do validation on a input based on value selected from a dropdown. JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/Raj_13290/qqLnqw3f/9/ I am changing the value of ng-pattern in ng-c

Solution 1:

It seems that this is a bug angular.

I found a solution, but it is not very good.

Live example on jsfiddle.

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

myApp.controller("MyCtrl", function($scope) {
  var tThis = this;
  $scope.dataTypeList = [{
    'id': 1,
    "label": "Currency"
  }, {
    'id': 2,
    "label": "Number"
  }, {
    'id': 3,
    "label": "Text"
  }];
  $scope.dataTypeValue;
  $scope.textValue = {
    text: ""
  };
  $scope.customPattern = /.*/;
  $scope.getCustomPattern = function(pInput) {
    if (!$scope.dataTypeValue)
      return $scope.customPattern;
    var dataTypeId = $scope.dataTypeValue.id;
    if (dataTypeId === 1) {
      $scope.customPattern = /^\d{1,10}$/;
    } elseif (dataTypeId === 2) {
      $scope.customPattern = /^\d+$/;
    } elseif (dataTypeId === 3) {
      $scope.customPattern = /^.*$/;
    }
    if (!$scope.getCustomPattern.isParser) {
      $scope.getCustomPattern.isParser = true;
      pInput.$setViewValue(pInput.$viewValue);
    } else {
      $scope.getCustomPattern.isParser = false;
    }
    return $scope.customPattern;
  };
});

input.ng-invalid {
  border-color: red;
}

<scriptsrc="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script><divng-app="myApp"><divng-controller="MyCtrl"><ng-formname="MyForm"><h3>
     With dynamic pattern
    </h3><selectng-model="dataTypeValue"ng-options="t as t.label for t in dataTypeList"ng-change="getCustomPattern(MyForm.input)"></select><inputtype="text"ng-model="textValue.text"ng-pattern="getCustomPattern(MyForm.input)"ng-model-options="{allowInvalid:true}"name="input"><br><br><br>Data type: {{dataTypeValue}}
      <br>Entered value: {{textValue}}

    </ng-form></div></div>

Solution 2:

From looking your problem it loks like not updating your CSS class based on the ng-pattern. Not gone into detail but this plunkr might help you.

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller("MyCtrl", function ($scope) {
var tThis = this;
$scope.dataTypeList = [{
        'id' : 1,
        "label" : "Currency"
    }, {
        'id' : 2,
        "label" : "Number"
    }, {
        'id' : 3,
        "label" : "Text"
    }
];
$scope.dataTypeValue;
$scope.textValue
$scope.customPattern = '';
$scope.className = "ng-invalid ng-invalid-pattern"$scope.setCustomPattern = function () {
    var dataTypeId = $scope.dataTypeValue.id;
    console.log(dataTypeId + 'llsdkfalskdf');
    if (dataTypeId === 1) {
        $scope.customPattern = /^\d{1,10}$/;
    } elseif (dataTypeId === 2) {
        $scope.customPattern = /^\d+$/;
    } elseif (dataTypeId === 3) {
        $scope.customPattern = /^.*$/;
    }
    return$scope.customPattern
};
$scope.$watch("[dataTypeValue, textValue]", function (nw, old) {
    var s = $('input[name=input]').val()
        $scope.textValue = s;
    var pattern = $scope.setCustomPattern()
        if (pattern.test($scope.textValue)) {
            $scope.className = "ng-valid ng-valid-pattern"
        } else {
            $scope.className = "ng-invalid ng-invalid-pattern"
        }
});

});
