How to reset form fields in angular js after form submit

Question

I am submitting form using angular js. I want to reset form fields after submit.

DEMO_ANGULAR JS

   $scope.addUser = function() 
    {
        $scope.errors = [];
        $scope.msgs = [];

        $scope.errors.splice(0, $scope.errors.length); // remove all error messages
        $scope.msgs.splice(0, $scope.msgs.length);

        $http.post("../admin/users/add_user", {'fname': $scope.fname, 'lname': $scope.lname, 'uname': $scope.uname,'gender': $scope.gender,'email': $scope.email,'mobile': $scope.mobile,'pass': $scope.pass}
        ).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {

            if (data.msg != '')
            {
                $scope.msgs.push(data.msg);
                $scope.get_users();
                $scope.form_add.$setPristine();
                $scope.currentRecord={};
            }
            else
            {
                $scope.errors.push(data.error);
            }
        }).error(function(data, status) { // called asynchronously if an error occurs
// or server returns response with an error status.
            $scope.errors.push(status);
        });
    }

And This is my view (HTML) form for add user:

<form name="form_add" method="post">
                     <ul>
                        <li style="color:red" ng-repeat="error in errors"> {{ error}} </li>
                    </ul>
                    <ul>
                        <li style="color:green" ng-repeat="msg in msgs"> {{ msg}} </li>
                    </ul>
                        <table class="table" cellspacing=10 cellpadding=10>
                        <tr>

How to reset form after submit, any changes in above code? And my issue is not solved yet!

$scope.currentRecord={}; sets that bound property back to an empty object. {} is an object literal. So currentRecord will be the object holding all of your form data. If you post more code it will be easier to help you. — Callum Linington

Well the thing is, there is a JavaScript object bound to your form. This object is used in the ng-model, when you set currentRecord to a new object it probably won't work. What you need to do is set the individual properties of that object back to their defaults, then set the $setPristine ... — Callum Linington

you can try a base object for your model. See the example

<form action="">
    <label for="">Name</label>
    <input type="text" ng-model="user.model">
    <label for="">Email</label>
    <input type="text" ng-model="user.email">
    <label for="">Password</label>
    <input type="password" ng-model="user.password">
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

for Angular

$scope.addUser = function() 
    {
$scope.errors = [];
        $scope.msgs = [];

         $http.post("your/desire/url", yourData)
         .success(function(data, status, headers, config) {

            if (data.msg != '')
            {
                //do something
                //reseting form
                $scope.user='';
            }
            else
            {
                $scope.errors.push(data.error);
            }
        }).error(function(data, status) { 
            $scope.errors.push(status);
        });

    }

After complete submitting the form you have to reset you model base object

$scope.user='';

I think it will work fine :)

You can rest your form this way:

Like you have a form as:

 <form novalidate class="css-form">
    Name: <input type="text" ng-model="user.name" required /><br />
    E-mail: <input type="email" ng-model="user.email" required /><br />
    Gender: <input type="radio" ng-model="user.gender" value="male" />male
    <input type="radio" ng-model="user.gender" value="female" />female<br />
    <input type="button" ng-click="reset()" value="Reset" />
    <input type="submit" ng-click="update(user)" value="Save" />
  </form>

So the code for your reset button would work like:

$scope.master = {};
if (form) {
   form.$setPristine();
   form.$setUntouched();
}
$scope.user = angular.copy($scope.master);

This is sure short going to work

Its Solved in this way: I have used this code to RESET:

$scope.fname='';
$scope.lname='';
$scope.uname='';
$scope.email='';
$scope.mobile='';
$scope.pass='';
$scope.form_add.$setPristine();
