NebularValidationErrors

This package automatically shows validation errors in forms built with Nebular https://akveo.github.io/nebular/

It comes with a configurable error normalizer that allows to configure what is shown in the error tooltip.

Example

See here: https://sungazer-pub.gitlab.io/nebular-validation-errors

Usage

Import the NbErrorTooltipModule in the module where you want to use the nbErrorTooltip directive.

Apply the nbErrorTooltip directive to nbInput components and add some validation requirements to the element.

<input [(ngModel)]="formData.field3" minlength="3" name="field3" 
nbErrorTooltip nbInput placeholder="Min length(3)" required>

Now, whenever the form control is touched or its value changes and validation fails, a validation tooltip should pop up to notify you.

How to customize the error messages

By default, this package only provides a simple english message, but you can hook your own message creation logic.

Create a new service that implements the NbErrorNormalizerInterface. In the normalize method you can hook whatever logic you need (translations, etc...) to show your error message. If you want to show the default value, just return null.

import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
import {NbErrorNormalizerInterface, NbErrorNormalizerResult} from '@sungazer/nebular-validation-errors';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class ErrorNormalizerService implements NbErrorNormalizerInterface {

  constructor() {
  }

  normalize(errors: any): NbErrorNormalizerResult {
    if (errors.required) {
      return {message: 'This field is required'};
    }
    return null;
  }
}

After creating the service, register it as a provider in the AppModule.

import {NB_ERROR_NORMALIZER} from '@sungazer/nebular-validation-errors';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    //...
  ],
  imports: [
    //...
  ],
  providers: [
    {provide: NB_ERROR_NORMALIZER, useClass: ErrorNormalizerService},
  ],
  //...
})
export class AppModule {
}

How to customize the tooltip placement

Tooltip placement and adjustment (see Nebular docs for details) can be customized in 2 places:

• At the module level (import the module using the withConfig helper, i.e. NbErrorTooltipModule.withConfig({...}))
• At the single directive level (use nbErrorTooltipPosition and nbErrorTooltipAdjustent attributes)
