FormBuilder class-transformer-global-storage class-validator-multi-lang = dynamic form group builder for Angular
npm i --save class-transformer-global-storage class-validator-multi-lang ngx-dynamic-form-builderVersion above 2 has a completely rewritten code, partially backwards compatible
Now @Expose and @Exclude decorators are used to define model fields, the new version is rigidly dependent on class-transform
Dependencies are not used original, but forks with additional necessary properties, when using this library, you need to replace all original imports with forks with modifications
Fork class-validator-multi-lang - adds translation capability for errors (PR:typestack/class-validator#743)
Fork class-transformer-global-storage - adds the ability to get meta information about all used classes (PR:typestack/class-transformer#929)
For correct parse metadata, need remove compilerOptions.downlevelIteration and append compilerOptions.emitDecoratorMetadata: true in tsconfig.json
Demo - Demo application with ngx-dynamic-form-builder.

}Because multi-language supported in class-validator-multi-lang, now ngx-dynamic-form-builder also support this feature
set validation messages as settings when create form group
this.form = this.fb.rootFormGroup(
Company,
{
name: '',
},
{
classValidatorOptions: {
messages: {
'The company name must be longer than 15': 'company name must be longer than 15 (translate on other language)',
},
},
}
);set validation messages on runtime after for exists form group
this.form.patchDynamicFormBuilderOptions({
classValidatorOptions: {
messages: {
'The company name must be longer than 15': 'company name must be longer than 15 (translate on other language)',
},
},
});set translate property name in error
this.form.patchDynamicFormBuilderOptions({
classValidatorOptions: {
titles: {
regionNum: 'number of region (translate property name in error on other language)',
},
},
});set validation messages and properties name global for all instance of form group in project
setGlobalDynamicFormBuilderOptions({
classValidatorOptions: {
messages: {
'The company name must be longer than 15': 'company name must be longer than 15 (translate on other language)',
},
titles: {
regionNum: 'number of region (translate property name in error on other language)',
},
},
});The customValidateErrors property can be subscribed for cases in which your code should act on changes in errors
