ng-required backing fields

[avina...@gmail.com]

Hello, 

I find the ng-required api extremely useful and flexible in how it works. It works great in a typical ng use case where data is bound to fields defined in the controller. However, it does not work(fully ??.... styling etc is broken... but some amount of it seems to work) when I try to apply the ng-required attribute on a form element that is not bound to a view model/controller field. This is perfectly rational from a ng point of view. 

Is it possible to get this working with non ng controller backed fields ? It will be super useful. 

Thanks, 

/A

The form validation relies upon ngModelController which is triggered by the use of ngModel.  It would be possible to write your own required directive that could look for a FormController on a containing form element and set the $valid field on that directly.  It might be easier, though, for you to just have a dummy ng-model attribute on your form element.
