string

Validate that a value is a string (typeof === 'string'). Companion to Laravel's string rule. Useful when explicit type guarding is needed separately from any other constraint.

Signature

NguardValidators.String.string: ValidatorFn

A parameterless validator — used directly without invocation.

Reactive forms

import { FormControl } from '@angular/forms';
import { NguardValidators } from 'ng-nguard';

const note = new FormControl('', [NguardValidators.String.string]);

Template-driven forms

<input ngModel name="note" nguardString />

Error key

{ string: true }

Notes

• Empty strings pass — '' is still a string.
• null, undefined, numbers, booleans, objects, arrays all fail.
• Most other String validators already perform a string-type check internally; reach for string only when you want a pure type assertion separate from any format/length constraint.
