Angular Validation: Match

Checks if one input matches another. Useful for confirming passwords, emails, or anything.

The match attribute should be set equal to the ng-model value of the field to match.

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/TheSharpieOne/q300sku2/

Installation

bower install angular-validation-match

Then add validation.match to your angular dependencies

Note: For angular 1.2 or lower use bower install angular-validation-match#1.3

Usage

Simple Property Example

Password: <input ng-model="password" type="password" />
Confirm: <input ng-model="passwordConfirm" type="password" match="password" />

Object Property Example

Password: <input ng-model="user.password" type="password" />
Confirm: <input ng-model="user.passwordConfirm" type="password" match="user.password" />

Display Custom Error
If your form and field both are named, you can access the validation result to show/hide messages.

<form name="myForm">
      Password: <input ng-model="user.password" type="password" name="passwordName" />
      Confirm: <input ng-model="user.passwordConfirm" type="password" match="user.password" name="myConfirmField" />
      <div ng-show="myForm.myConfirmField.$error.match">Fields do not match!</div>
</form>

Validate Against the $viewValue shown in the input
The internal value ($modelValue) can differ from the external value ($viewValue) as appears in the input field shown to the user. If your form and field both are named, you can validate against value displayed in the field, even if the field is invalid.

<form name="myForm">
    Password: <input ng-model="user.password" type="password" name="myPasswordField" />
    Confirm: <input ng-model="user.passwordConfirm" type="password" match="myForm.myPasswordField" name="myConfirmField" />
</form>

Note: $viewValues are specific to fields/elements, not models. Different fields with the same ngModel and have different $viewValues. Becuase of this, you need to use the form directive (assigning a name to a form tag) in combination with the specific field's name attribute to specific which field/element you want to match in particular.
