Angular - Type '(c: FormControl) => ValidationError | null' is not assignable to type 'ValidatorFn'


In Angular-13 I have this code

validation-errors.ts:

import { ValidationErrors } from "@angular/forms";
import { FormArray, FormControl, FormGroup, ValidatorFn } from '@angular/forms';

// Defines a stronger typed validation error model, compatible with the Angular default.
export interface ValidationError extends ValidationErrors {
    [validatorName: string]: {
        message: string
    }
}

validation.component.ts :

import { ValidationError } from '../models/validation-error';

export class CustomValidators {
  static requiredMinNumber(min: number): ValidatorFn {
    return (c: FormControl): ValidationError | null => {
      if (this.isEmpty(c.value))
        return this.makeError('requiredMinNumber', `You must provide a number of at least ${min}.`);
      else if (!this.isNumber(c.value))
        return this.makeError('requiredMinNumber', `Value must be a number, and minimum ${min}.`);
      else if (c.value < min)
        return this.makeError('requiredMinNumber', `The minimum accepted value is ${min}.`);
      return null;
    };
  }
}

But this error occurred:

Type '(c: FormControl) => ValidationError | null' is not assignable to type 'ValidatorFn'.
  Types of parameters 'c' and 'control' are incompatible.
    Type 'AbstractControl' is not assignable to type 'FormControl'.ts(

How do I get it resolved?

Thanks


Solution

  • To write a custom validator, you must follow ValidationFn interface.

    interface ValidatorFn {
      (control: AbstractControl): ValidationErrors | null
    }
    

    Change c as AbstractControl type.

    static requiredMinNumber(min: number): ValidatorFn {
      return (c: AbstractControl): ValidationError | null => {
        ...
      };
    }
