Signature​

NguardValidators.String.longerThan(fieldKey: string): ValidatorFn
ParameterTypeDescription
fieldKeystringThe key of the sibling field whose length is the target

Reactive forms​

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

const form = new FormGroup({
    password: new FormControl(''),
    fullPassword: new FormControl('', [
        NguardValidators.String.longerThan('password'),
    ]),
});

Template-driven forms​

<input ngModel name="password" />
<input ngModel name="fullPassword" [nguardLongerThan]="'password'" />

Error key​

{ longerThan: true }

Notes​

  • The check is strict (>). Equal lengths fail.
  • Both fields must be strings — non-string siblings cause failure.
  • If the control has no parent form group, the validator fails.
