How to get validation error value(=inputed value, but not in model) angularjs way

Question

I’m trying to get user.name.length value at error message. If jQuery is used, it is realizable, but isn't there any method unique to Angularjs?

<form novalidate name="myForm" ng-submit="addUser()">
<p>Name:
<input type="text" name="name" ng-model="user.name" required ng-minlength="5" ng-maxlength="8">
<span ng-show="myForm.name.$error.minlength">{{user.name.length}} too short!</span>

Answer 1

Can you try with {{myForm.name.$viewValue.length}}, like below:

<input type="text" name="name" ng-model="user.name" ng-minlength="5" ng-maxlength="8" />
                <span ng-show="myForm.name.$error.minlength">{{myForm.name.$viewValue.length}} too short!</span>
                <span ng-show="myForm.name.$error.maxlength">{{myForm.name.$viewValue.length}} too long!</span>
