One problem with this code.
If it will set model validity to false (ctrl.$setValidity(‘unique’, data.status);)
it will never again pass the condition:
if (scope.registerForm.email.$valid) {
email model will be always $invalid due to ‘unique’ and so the form will be always $invalid. IMHO the better would be condition:
if (!scope.registerForm.email.$error.required && !scope.registerForm.email.$error.email)
Thanks Krzysztof, yes I will post the full code soon, this was for unique email only.
