Working on my login page with angular and typescript. Clicking the submit button should trigger the login function in the controller, but if the form is invalid, it should just return.
New to typescript, I keep running into an error when trying to add an if statement to check if the form is invalid:
Cannot read property '$invalid' of undefinedHere's the HTML:
<form class="login-form" name="loginForm" ng-submit="vm.login()" novalidate>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required ng-model="vm.email" ng-class="{true: 'input-error'}[submitted && loginForm.email.$invalid]"/>
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" required ng-model="vm.password" ng-class="{true: 'input-error'}[submitted && loginForm.password.$invalid]"/>
<input type="submit" id="submit" ng-click="submitted=true"/>
</form>
And here's the compiled javascript:
var LoginModule;
(function (LoginModule) {
var LoginController = (function () {
function LoginController() {
}
LoginController.prototype.login = function () {
if(this.loginForm.$invalid) {
return;
}
console.log("Login was clicked, email is " + this.email + " and password is " + this.password);
};
return LoginController;
})();
LoginModule.LoginController = LoginController;
})(LoginModule || (LoginModule = {}));
angular.module('loginModule', []).controller('LoginController', LoginModule.LoginController);
Seems like the issue isn't with specifying the form name, as some have suggested. Anyone have insight on why this error might be occurring?
