Usage

1. Add validation service into your initForm

First, add these two properties into your constructor

import { CustomValidators, FormValidatorService } from 'ngx-forms-validator';

constructor(
  public formBuilder: FormBuilder,
  public nxgFormsValidatorService : FormValidatorService
) { }

After, you can add nxgFormsValidatorService.manageValidateErrors after declare your form

this.exampleForm = this.formBuilder.group({
  name: [this.exampleData.name, [Validators.required]],
  surname: [this.exampleData.surname, [Validators.required]],
  years: [this.exampleData.years, [Validators.required]],
});
  
this.nxgFormsValidatorService.manageValidateErrors(this.exampleForm);

2. HTML structure

Important to add each input within a unique and personalized div for each one.

Also, it is necessary to add the same id and name as the name assigned to the formControlName

<form [formGroup]="exampleForm" class="exampleForm" *ngIf="exampleData">
  <span>Name</span>
  <div>
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name" formControlName="name">
  </div>

  <span>Surname</span>
  <div class="width40">
    <input type="text" name="surname" id="surname" formControlName="surname">
  </div>
</form>

3. Set default language

Go to the app.component file and add these properties to the constructor

import { TranslateService } from 'ngx-forms-validator';

constructor(private translateService: TranslateService) {
  this.translateService.setTranslationLanguaje('es_ES');
}

You can also see Available languages that come by default in the library (es_ES & en_US).

4. Add your custom literals (optional)

First create a TS file that contains all your literals.

You can name it with the name you want.

export const customLiterals = { 
  requiredGraterThan0: 'The numeric field must be greater than 0', 
  malformedField: 'Malformed field', 
  required: 'Field is required', 
  email: 'Incorrect format', 
};

Then, add your literals in your app.component constructor.

import { customLiterals } from 'src/assets/i18n/en_US';

constructor(private translateService: TranslateService) {
  this.translateService.setCustomTranslations(customLiterals);
}

The priority literals will be your custom literals.

If you don't like a literal that comes by default in the library, you can change its value by adding it to your custom literals file.

See the literals that come by default in the library.

Custom Validators

In addition to the Validators that Angular provides us, you can create and use your own Custom Validators.

In this example we are using CustomValidators.hasWhiteSpaceLine, that is already implemented in the library

this.exampleForm = this.formBuilder.group({
    name: [this.exampleData.name, [Validators.required, CustomValidators.hasWhiteSpaceLine]],
    surname: [this.exampleData.surname, [Validators.required, CustomValidators.hasWhiteSpaceLine]],
    years: [this.exampleData.years, [Validators.required]],
  });

You can also see the Custom Validators that come by default in the library.

whiteSpaceLine: 'Formato incorrecto'
maxlength: 'Has excedido el máximo de caracteres'
minlength: 'Formato incorrecto'
invalid: 'Formato incorrecto'

minlength: 'Incorrect format'
invalid: 'Incorrect format'
maxlengthPermes: 'You have reached the maximum number of characters'
valueNoExist: 'The entered value does not exist in the list'
introducedValueNoExist: 'The requirement does not exist'
number: 'The field must be numeric

onlyNumber: Only numbers are allowed
hasWhiteSpaceLine: Input cannot be empty or contain only white spaces
introducedValueExists(array, string?): Passing an array as a parameter, the existence of the value is checked. If it doesn't exist, an error is generated (Also, if you put 'none' as the second parameter, no error message will be displayed. Only the input will be highlighted in red. This param is optional)
```
 name: [this.exampleData.name, [Validators.required, CustomValidators.introducedValueExists(['John', 'Alicia'], 'none')]],
```
maxByte(number): Maximum allowed number of bytes.
