@name Developer Guide: Templates: Understanding Angular Validators
@description
-
Angular validators are attributes that test the validity of different types of user input. Angular
provides a set of built-in input validators:

* {@link api/angular.validator.number number}
* {@link api/angular.validator.integer integer}

# Using Angular Validators
-
You can use angular validators in HTML template bindings, and in JavaScript:
-
* Validators in HTML Template Bindings
-
<pre>
<input ng:validator="validator_type:parameters" [...]>
</pre>
-
* Validators in JavaScript
-
<pre>
angular.validator.[validator_type](parameters)

# Creating an Angular Validator
-
To create a custom validator, you simply add your validator code as a method onto the
`angular.validator` object and provide input(s) for the validator function. Each input provided is
treated as an argument to the validator function. Any additional inputs should be separated by
commas.
-
The following bit of pseudo-code shows how to set up a custom validator:
-
<pre>
angular.validator('your_validator', function(input [,additional params]) {
[your validation code];
@@ -88,22 +73,17 @@ angular.validator('your_validator', function(input [,additional params]) {

Note that this validator returns "true" when the user's input is incorrect, as in "Yes, it's true,
there was a problem with that input". If you prefer to provide more information when a validator
detects a problem with input, you can specify an error message in the validator that angular will
display when the user hovers over the input widget.
-
To specify an error message, replace "`return true;`" with an error string, for example:
-
return "Must be a value between 1 and 5!";

In this sample validator, we specify a regular expression against which to test the user's input.
Note that when the user's input matches `regexp`, the function returns "false" (""); otherwise it
returns the specified error message ("true").
-
Note: you can also access the current angular scope and DOM element objects in your validator
functions as follows:
-
* `this` === The current angular scope.
* `this.$element` === The DOM element that contains the binding. This allows the filter to
manipulate the DOM in addition to transforming the input.
