Angular 5 Material: Dropdown (select) Required Validation Is Not Working
Answer :
Based on the excellent answer of (from zero to hero), I want to clarify 2 points mentioned in comments:
1- You have to use ngModel not value
2- You have to give the control a name
Full credit goes to him, I wanted to clarify this to any newcomer like me as it took me 2 hours to find out why it doesn't work
You added required
to the select's option
, not the select
. Do it like:
<mat-form-field> <mat-select placeholder="Favorite food" name="select" [(ngModel)]="select" required> <mat-option *ngFor="let food of foods" [value]="food.value" > {{ food.viewValue }} </mat-option> </mat-select> </mat-form-field>
