I have a reset-password form with 2 input fields:
I had to create a validation where "New Password (confirmation) needed to match "New Password" and I made it. When you type in a wrong password in "New Password (confirmation) field, it gives an error and wont let you submit the form until it matches the password in field "New Password".But if I go back and change "New Password" field, "New Password (confirmation) field shows it like they still match even though they arent anymore...So my question is: how can i fix this issue?
Any advice is appreciated
ts file
import { AbstractControl, FormBuilder, FormControl, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppConfig } from 'src/app/_common/configs/app.config';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-reset-password',
templateUrl: './reset-password.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./reset-password.component.scss'],
})
export class ResetPasswordComponent {
passwordsMatching = false;
isConfirmPasswordDirty = false;
confirmPasswordClass = 'form-control';
appConfig = AppConfig;
newPassword = new FormControl(null, [
(c: AbstractControl) => Validators.required(c),
Validators.pattern('^((?!.*[s])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*d).{8,99})'),
]);
confirmPassword = new FormControl(null, [
(c: AbstractControl) => Validators.required(c),
Validators.pattern('^((?!.*[s])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*d).{8,99})'),
]);
resetPasswordForm = this.formBuilder.group({
newPassword: this.newPassword,
confirmPassword: this.confirmPassword,
});
constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) {}
onSubmit(): void {
if (!this.resetPasswordForm?.valid) {
return;
}
}
checkPasswords(pw: string, cpw: string) {
this.isConfirmPasswordDirty = true;
if (pw == cpw) {
this.passwordsMatching = true;
this.confirmPasswordClass = 'form-control is-valid';
} else {
this.passwordsMatching = false;
this.confirmPasswordClass = 'form-control is-invalid';
}
}
}

I have done some changes on your code so please check
ts file
export class AppComponent {
name = 'Angular ' + VERSION.major;
passwordsMatching = false;
isConfirmPasswordDirty = false;
confirmPasswordClass = 'form-control';
newPassword = new FormControl(null, [
(c: AbstractControl) => Validators.required(c),
Validators.pattern(
/(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@$!%*#?&^_-]).{8,}/
),
]);
confirmPassword = new FormControl(null, [
(c: AbstractControl) => Validators.required(c),
Validators.pattern(
/(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@$!%*#?&^_-]).{8,}/
),
]);
resetPasswordForm = this.formBuilder.group(
{
newPassword: this.newPassword,
confirmPassword: this.confirmPassword,
},
{
validator: this.ConfirmedValidator('newPassword', 'confirmPassword'),
}
);
constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) {}
onSubmit(): void {
console.log(this.resetPasswordForm);
if (!this.resetPasswordForm?.valid) {
return;
}
}
ConfirmedValidator(controlName: string, matchingControlName: string) {
return (formGroup: FormGroup) => {
const control = formGroup.controls[controlName];
const matchingControl = formGroup.controls[matchingControlName];
if (
matchingControl.errors &&
!matchingControl.errors.confirmedValidator
) {
return;
}
if (control.value !== matchingControl.value) {
matchingControl.setErrors({ confirmedValidator: true });
} else {
matchingControl.setErrors(null);
}
};
}
}
