Form validation and form resetting

[Raj]

How does one reset a form and at the same time reset the form.$invalid
flags? If a user is working on a required field and tabs away from it,
we can user Angular to display an error message. However, if the user
decides to "Reset" the form, the form.$invalid message is still
retained. For the "Reset" functionality I am using the form example
from the form dev guides of Angular.
Thanks in advance,
Raj

Can you create jsfiddle for this please?

Hi Igor,
I am enclosing the fiddle

http://jsfiddle.net/rvauradkar/Me7jH/1/

This is the example from the from dev guide. I had to modify the Reset
and Save buttons as it was not working.
Now it works.But, fill in something in Name and tab to email and tab
out immediately.
Then click on Reset. Notice that the form is still invalid. I need to
make the form pristine again.

Raj

This is a good point.  It would be good if the formController had some kind of reset method that at the very least, cleared the form's input controls and returned it to a pristine state.

By the way, I rearranged your fiddle to put the javascript in the javascript window and move the link to angular into a resource: http://jsfiddle.net/Me7jH/2/

Peter,
Thanks for the response. The "Advanced Form example from the "docs-
next" documentation solves the problem in a different way.
However, it would still be nice to be able to get the form back in a
pristine form.

Raj

The "advanced form" example is confusing as it has a form field on the scope, which is not the myForm form element.  It is the FormController attached to myForm by the form directive (so many forms!) that handles the $dirty and $pristine aspects of the form.  You'll find if you look at the elements in this example that running cancel() on the controller, while returning the values to their initial state, does not make the form pristine again.

+1 for being able to set form back to its pristine state. I'm
struggling exactly with the same problem where I want to have a form
and a list of items displayed. On each form "submition" I would like
to add a new item to a list and turn the form back to its pristine
state.

I can see there there is a $setDirty method on FormController, would
be great to have sth like $setPristine for symetry :-) Unless there is
another, more angular-way of doing things!

Dear angular team - could such a FormController.$setPristine method be
added? Or maybe there is a better approach?

Cheers,
Pawel

I don't think that reseting individual controls makes much sense in the real world, instead I'd like to see ability to reset a form, which would then reset all of its nested controls.

can someone file an issue for this and link to this thread?

I've just sent a PR with the fix:
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/1127
Not 100% sure if this is a correct fix but seems to work and tests are
passing so let's cross the fingers!

what version of angular will this show up in?. I don't see it in v1.0.2

[Matthew Kim]

I don't see it in v1.0.4 either, which version is this in?

[Pawel Kozlowski]

Hi!

It landed in 1.1.1:
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#111-pathological-kerning-2012-11-26
