Topic: Use variable for form validation error message

christso pro asked 6 years ago


I'm trying to use a variable to set the error message that appears when the input is invalid. Here's my html code:
<div class="md-form mt-0 input-group">
  <input formControlName="amount" class="form-control" type="number" class="form-control" id="amount" mdbInputDirective [data-error]="getErrorMessage()">
</div>
However, the message shows as the default message "wrong". It seems that variables are not supported. How do I get the error message from Angular instead of hardcoding it in the html?

Dear christso, If you need to assing variable to error/success message you can use new inputs [errorMessage] and [successMessage]. Regards, Arek

I removed the mdbInputDirective, and added this to my html file:
<span class="inputVal text-danger" style="visibility: visible; top: 37px;" *ngIf="editForm.controls.amount.invalid">{{getErrorMessage()}}.</span>
That seems to work. I was expecting a more elegant solution with MDBootstrap.
