Disable submit button when form invalid with AngularJS

People also ask

How would you ensure that the button code will disable the submit button if the form is invalid?

If the textbox control value is invalid, we also want to disable the submit button so that the user cannot submit the form. We are using the “ng-disabled” property for the control to do this based on the conditional value of the “$dirty” and “$invalid” property of the control.

How do I disable the submit button?

1.1 To disable a submit button, you just need to add a disabled attribute to the submit button. $("#btnSubmit"). attr("disabled", true); 1.2 To enable a disabled button, set the disabled attribute to false, or remove the disabled attribute.

How do I disable the button if the input box is empty and enable when field is filled in angular?

The main thing you need is a template variable, in my case it is #register="ngForm" , and you will use it for validating the form at the submit button, by setting its value to disabled attribute like [disabled]="!


You need to use the name of your form, as well as ng-disabled: Here's a demo on Plunker

<form name="myForm">
    <input name="myText" type="text" ng-model="mytext" required />
    <button ng-disabled="myForm.$invalid">Save</button>
</form>

To add to this answer. I just found out that it will also break down if you use a hyphen in your form name (Angular 1.3):

So this will not work:

<form name="my-form">
    <input name="myText" type="text" ng-model="mytext" required />
    <button ng-disabled="my-form.$invalid">Save</button>
</form>

Selected response is correct, but someone like me, may have issues with async validation with sending request to the server-side - button will be not disabled during given request processing, so button will blink, which looks pretty strange for the users.

To void this, you just need to handle $pending state of the form:

<form name="myForm">
  <input name="myText" type="text" ng-model="mytext" required />
  <button ng-disabled="myForm.$invalid || myForm.$pending">Save</button>
</form>

If you are using Reactive Forms you can use this:

<button [disabled]="!contactForm.valid" type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn primary" (click)="printSomething()">Submit</button>

We can create a simple directive and disable the button until all the mandatory fields are filled.

angular.module('sampleapp').directive('disableBtn',
function() {
 return {
  restrict : 'A',
  link : function(scope, element, attrs) {
   var $el = $(element);
   var submitBtn = $el.find('button[type="submit"]');
   var _name = attrs.name;
   scope.$watch(_name + '.$valid', function(val) {
    if (val) {
     submitBtn.removeAttr('disabled');
    } else {
     submitBtn.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
    }
   });
  }
 };
}
);
