fusion-messages

===

A friendly wrapper for ngMessages.

This directive address a few usability issues with ngMessages.

1. ngMessages displays all of the error messages for all input fields. fusionMessages only displays an error if the field is dirty or if the form has been submitted.
2. ngMessages requires you pass the $error object manually. fusionMessages will look this up from the input name.
3. fusionMessages provides and imperative mechanism for adding validation messages. Helpful for importing third-party validator messages.

Usage

1. bower install fusion-messages (coming soon!)
2. add fusion-messages.jpg script to your application
3. add fusionMessages as a module dependency for your application

Basic Usage

fusionMessages wraps ngMessages. At minimum you can use it to add friendlier message behavior:

<form name="myForm">
  <label for="myEmail">Email Address: </label>
  <input type="email" name="myEmail" ng-model="model.email" required>
  <div fus-messages="myForm.myEmail">
    <div ng-message="required">Field Required</div>
    <div ng-message="email">Invalid Email</div>
  </div>
</form>

Supplying default messages via a controller

With fusMessagesDefaults directive you can assign default messages for an entire form at once.

<script>
  app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) {
      $scope.errorMsgs = {
        'required' : 'field is required',
        'email' : 'invalid email address'
      }
  });
</script>
<form name="myForm" fus-messages-defaults="errorMsgs">
  <label for="myEmail">Email Address: </label>
  <input type="email" name="myEmail" ng-model="model.email" required>
  <div fus-messages="myForm.myEmail"></div>
</form>

Testing

Install all the project dependencies with npm install and bower install and run npm test.
