How can I implement custom error messages in Angular?

You can create custom error messages in Angular by using reactive forms and the built-in validators. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! Here’s a simple example:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-my-form',
  templateUrl: './my-form.component.html'
})
export class MyFormComponent {
  myForm: FormGroup;

  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.myForm = this.fb.group({
      email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
    });
  }

  getErrorMessage() {
    if (this.myForm.get('email').hasError('required')) {
      return 'You must enter a value';
    }
    return this.myForm.get('email').hasError('email') ? 'Not a valid email' : '';
  }
}

This code sets up a form with an email field and custom error messages.

How do I display these error messages in the template?

You can display the error messages in your template like this:

<form [formGroup]='myForm'>
  <input formControlName='email'>
  <span *ngIf='myForm.get("email").invalid && (myForm.get("email").dirty || myForm.get("email").touched)'>
    {{ getErrorMessage() }}
  </span>
</form>
