Issue
I’m dynamically creating forms with ng-repeat and they have some validation attributes (simplified version):
<div class="row" ng-repeat="defect in model.defects">
<form name="form_{{defect.id}}" novalidate>
<input ng-model="defect.name" required/>
<input type="submit" ng-click="saveDefect(defect)"/>
</form>
</div>
Basically what I want to do is this:
$scope.saveDefect = function (defect) {
if ($scope.<how to get the form name here>.$invalid) {
return;
}
}
Since the form name has been created dynamically with an id how do I access it? Other ways of doing the same are also welcome ofcourse 🙂
Solution
You can use the bracket notation to access it :
$scope["form_"+defect.id]
What I advise you to do is :
var app = angular.module("App", []);
app.controller("Ctrl", function($scope) {
$scope.forms = {};
$scope.list = [{id: 1}, {id: 2}];
$scope.save = function(item) {
if ($scope.forms["form_" + item.id].$invalid) {
alert("error on form_" + item.id);
}
}
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="App" ng-controller="Ctrl">
<div class="row" ng-repeat="item in list">
<form name="forms.form_{{item.id}}" novalidate>
<input ng-model="item.name" required/>
<input type="submit" ng-click="save(item)" />
</form>
</div>
