Angular 8 Reactive Form Validators

Question

I have a FormControl in my Angular 8 app like this:

this.closingOrderFormGroup = this._fb.group({
   final_price: new FormControl('', [ Validators.required ] ),
});

I tried to add/remove Validators.required dynamically based on some radio button check as follows:

radioChange( event ) { 
    const finalPriceControl: any = this.closingOrderFormGroup.get('final_price');

    if ( event.value == 'completed' ) {
      finalPriceControl.setValidators([Validators.required]);
    }
    else if ( event.value == 'rejected' ) {
      finalPriceControl.setValidators(null);
    }
  }

But after set Validators null the FormControl "status" is still Invalid. How should I change the FormControl status?

You have to call updateValueAndValidity() – mluker Nov 23 '19 at 16:45 — mluker, Nov 23 '19 at 16:45

You can subscribe for value change in angular reactive form.

ngOnInit() {
    this.loginForm = this.fb.group({
        final_price: ['', [ Validators.required ] ]
    });

    this.formControlValueChanged();

}

//Subscribe this way

formControlValueChanged() {
    const finalPriceControl = this.loginForm.get('final_price');
    this.loginForm.get('final_price').valueChanges.subscribe(
        (mode: string) => {
            console.log(mode);
            if (mode === 'completed') {
                finalPriceControl.setValidators([Validators.required]);
            } else if (mode === 'rejected') {
                finalPriceControl.clearValidators();
            }
            finalPriceControl.updateValueAndValidity();
        });
}

Hope this helps :)

To make clear, the answer to the question here is the ‘updateValueAndValidity()’ bit — bryan60, Nov 23 '19 at 16:28
