angularjs form reset error

Use the following to reset dirty state

$scope.form.$setPristine();

Use the following to reset to clear validation

$scope.form.$setValidity();

There's API documentation on the FormController.

This allowed me to find that there's other methods to call such as:

$setUntouched() - which is a function I was using if the user has focused on the field, and then left the field, this clears this feature when you run it.

I created a simple form reset function which you can use too.

// Set the following in your controller for the form/page.
// Allows you to set default form values on fields.
$scope.defaultFormData = { username : 'Bob'}
// Save a copy of the defaultFormData
$scope.resetCopy = angular.copy($scope.defaultFormData);
// Create a method to reset the form back to it's original state.
$scope.resetForm =  function() {
    // Set the field values back to the original default values
    $scope.defaultFormData = angular.copy($scope.resetCopy);
    $scope.myForm.$setPristine();
    $scope.myForm.$setValidity();
    $scope.myForm.$setUntouched();
    // in my case I had to call $apply to refresh the page, you may also need this.
    $scope.$apply();
}

In your form, this simple setup will allow you to reset the form

<form ng-submit="doSomethingOnSubmit()" name="myForm">
    <input type="text" name="username" ng-model="username" ng-required />
    <input type="password" name="password" ng-model="password" ng-required />
    <button type="button" ng-click="resetForm()">Reset</button>
    <button type="submit">Log In</button>
</form>

I went with...

$scope.form.$setPristine();
$scope.form.$error = {};

Feels hacky... but a lot about angular does.

Besides... this was the only thing that worked.

I had the same problem and used the following code to completely reset the form :

$scope.resetForm = function(){

    // reset your model data
    $scope.user = ...

    // reset all errors
    for (var att in  $scope.userForm.$error) {
        if ($scope.userForm.$error.hasOwnProperty(att)) {
            $scope.userForm.$setValidity(att, true);
        }
    }

    // reset validation's state
    $scope.userForm.$setPristine(true);
};

To me using $setPristine to reset the form is a hack. The real solution is to keep it like it should be:

<button type="reset" ng-click="reset()"></button>

then in angular:

var original = angular.copy($scope.user);
$scope.reset = function() {
   $scope.user = angular.copy(original);
};

and that's it.

Use this

<button type="button" ng-click='resetForm()'>Reset</button>

In Controller

$scope.resetForm = function(){
   $scope.userForm.$dirty = false;
   $scope.userForm.$pristine = true;
   $scope.userForm.$submitted = false;
};

Its working for me

In case you don't have a master (dynamic models from server), and you want to reset the form but only the binded part of the model you can use this snippet:

  function resetForm(form){
    _.forEach(form, function(elem){
      if(elem !== undefined && elem.$modelValue !== undefined){
        elem.$viewValue = null;
        elem.$commitViewValue();
      }
    });
  }

And then you can use it with a standard reset button like so:

<button type="reset" ng-click="resetForm(MyForm);MyForm.$setValidity();">reset</button>

        <p ng-show="userForm.username.$error.maxlength" class="help-block"><font color="#009ACD">Description is too long.</font></p>
    </div>

    <div class="col"style="text-align: center">
        <button align="left"class="button button-block button-reset"style="display: inline-block;width:100px;text-align:center "
        type="reset"
        ng-click="reset()"padding-top="true">Reset</button>


        <button class="button button-block button-positive"  style="display: inline-block; width:100px" ng-click="submit()"padding-top="true">Submit</button>
        </div>

</form>

In My Form

<form angular-validator-submit="submitReview()" name="formReview"  novalidate angular-validator>

 <input type="text" name="Rating" validate-on="Rating" class="form-control"
   ng-model="Review.Rating" required-message="'Enter Rating'" required>
  <button type="button" ng-click="reset()">Cancel</button>
 </form>


app.controller('AddReview', function ($scope) {

    $scope.reset= function () {
        $scope.formReview.reset() 
    };
});

only need to call $scope.formReview.reset() where formReview is my form name.

I kept the type="reset" in my button. What I did was the ng-click="resetForm(userForm)" (using userFrom to match your example) and the controller defines resetForm() as

scope.resetForm = function(controller) {
  controller.$commitViewValue();
  controller.$setPristine();
};

Here is what happens:

1. When the reset button is clicked, it will bring back the original values as specified by the value attribute on the input
2. The $commitViewValue() will force the write of whatever is on the view presently to the $modelValue of each field (no need to iterate manually), without this the last $modelValue would still be stored rather than reset.
3. The $setPristine() will reset any other validation and submitted fields.

In my angular-bootstrap-validator I already had the FormController as such I didn't need to pass in the form itself.

My form is inside another scope so my solution need to use $$postDigest

$scope.$$postDigest(function() {
    $scope.form.$error = {};
});
