Angular Directive with Validation

[Guiboy]

I am trying to create a directive that allows for multiple contact
fields to be inserted
i made it work as in this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/agamennon12345/uFb3x/
for my next step i want to add custom validation to the fields based
on the combo-box filed type selection
in my effort i was trying to use a watch inside the link function. so
here are my questions:

Why does that watch does not fire upon changes into the contacts
collection?
How to watch for changes in the contacts collection?
How do i add custom validation to my fields?

Some thoughts
I know i have to add a form to the template or to the scope,
probably this could work both ways but again the details on how to
make it work eludes me
I try splashing form and validation ctrl.$parsers.unshift all
around with no success

i am reading the forums and the docs for days without avail, i just
can't wrap my head around the docs and pull this off without
assistance so any help is greatly appreciated!

i have managed to find why my $watch was not firing, i found out there
is this objectEquality flag, that will match for equality and not
reference, this fiddle now have a watch that works, mind the "true" as
third parameter for the watch
http://jsfiddle.net/agamennon12345/uFb3x/2/ unfortunately i still
need help with validation

Have you seen http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/dev_guide.forms ?

You need a directive, that will require 'ngModel', to get hold of the
ngModel controller and will append validators there.
<select ng-name="contact.type">
<input ng-model="contact.value" custom-validator="contact.type">

You have to watch attr.customValidator as well and re-validate once it changes.

Vojta, just chiming in with a suggestion, it would be really nice if there were a way on the site to search for something like validation or validate and get results, we had a mini code-a-thon session yesterday and couldn't find this, if I was looking over each item it should of been obvious, but not everyone associates custom validation with forms.

You're right. THe whole search needs to be more clever. We already have an issue for that.
