@name Cookbook: Advanced Form
@description
Here we extend the basic form example to include common features such as reverting, dirty state
detection, and preventing invalid form submission.
<doc:example>
<doc:source>
   <script>
   function UserForm($scope) {
     var master = {
       name: 'John Smith',
       address:{
         line1: '123 Main St.',
         city:'Anytown',
         state:'AA',
         zip:'12345'
       },
       contacts:[
         {type:'phone', value:'1(234) 555-1212'}
       ]
     };
     $scope.state = /^\w\w$/;
     $scope.zip = /^\d\d\d\d\d$/;
     $scope.cancel = function() {
       $scope.form = angular.copy(master);
     };
     $scope.save = function() {
       master = $scope.form;
       $scope.cancel();
     };
     $scope.addContact = function() {
       $scope.form.contacts.push({type:'', value:''});
     };
     $scope.removeContact = function(index) {
       $scope.form.contacts.splice(index, 1);
     };
     $scope.isCancelDisabled = function() {
       return angular.equals(master, $scope.form);
     };
     $scope.isSaveDisabled = function() {
       return $scope.myForm.$invalid || angular.equals(master, $scope.form);
     };
     $scope.cancel();
   }

#Things to notice
* Cancel & save buttons are only enabled if the form is dirty — there is something to cancel or
save.
* Save button is only enabled if there are no validation errors on the form.
* Cancel reverts the form changes back to original state.
* Save updates the internal model of the form.
* Debug view shows the two models. One presented to the user form and the other being the pristine
copy master.
