Angular 5 pattern validation is not working with dynamic reactive forms










4















I am trying to achieve field validation with angular reactive forms with regex pattern ##.##.##.##. For some patterns, it is not working. I tried the below input 12.25.36.25 which fails the validation, tested the pattern (^d2.d2.d2.d2$) with regextester which works fine. I am not sure the what's going wrong here. Any help is much appreciated.



Here is the StackBlitz.

          The reason is you forgot to add a field in class question-base called pattern.
          Here is the code:



          export class QuestionBase<T> 
          ...
          pattern: string;

          constructor(options:
          ...
          pattern?: string
          = )
          ...
          this.pattern = options.pattern



          Another problem is that ##.##.##.## is not a valid number. You need to change that input to be of type text. Lastly if your pattern is a regular expression you need to use javascript's regex type instead of string. Replace your pattern to be /^d2.d2.d2.d2$/



          Edit: Final form of model should be:



          new TextboxQuestion(
          key: 'version',
          label: 'Release Number',
          type: 'text',
          required: true,
          order: 4,
          pattern: /^d2.d2.d2.d2$/ // needed format: ##.##.##.##
          )

          • I did two more changes that I forgot to mention. 25.25.25.25 is not a valid number but it's of type text. Also I changed the pattern inside the service from '^d2.d2.d2.d2$' to /^d2.d2.d2.d2$/. Dunno why string does not work but regex does. Updated my answer.

          • the requirement is i dont want user to enter the text/characters in the input element and the reason i am accessing the pattern from other file is, pattern will be varied based on the user logged-in and account type he has access to.
