What are the different types of validators in Angular?

In Angular, validators are functions that check the validity of form controls. The main types include: 1. Required Validator: Ensures the control is not empty. 2. MinLength Validator: Checks if the control's value meets a minimum length. 3. MaxLength Validator: Ensures the control's value does not exceed a maximum length. 4. Pattern Validator: Validates the control's value against a regular expression. 5. Custom Validators: You can create your own validators for specific needs.

Can you give me an example of a custom validator?

Sure! Here's a simple example of a custom validator that checks if a control's value is a palindrome:

import { AbstractControl, ValidationErrors, ValidatorFn } from '@angular/forms';

export function palindromeValidator(): ValidatorFn {
  return (control: AbstractControl): ValidationErrors | null => {
    const value = control.value;
    const isPalindrome = value === value.split('').reverse().join('');
    return isPalindrome ? null : { notPalindrome: true };
  };
}

How do I apply this custom validator to a form control?

You can apply the custom validator when creating your form control. Here's an example:

this.form = this.fb.group({
  myControl: ['', [palindromeValidator()]]
});

This will apply the palindromeValidator to the myControl form control.
