Angular (2) Server side form validation (and best practices)

I am having problems for implementing a simple server side form validation using angular 2.

given the following scenario:

  • Simple form with login and password fields. (attached to the components view through ngForm / ngModel directives)
  • Template based form
  • Using Synchronous validation
  • Server response JSON object has the following shape {field: error} e.x, if login and password are empty response is: {login: 'required', password: 'required'}

Once it is submitted I have the response from server but I don't know how to update the state of each ngModel bound to a view control element to show it in the UI

It is a very common scenario and I am surprised that I am experiencing so many troubles of finding a proper documentation. (client validation is very well explained on the other hand)

Any help appreciated! Cheers :)

I have been looking all over the internet for server-side validation models, and i haven't find any official documentation, but instead, i got some useful articles - one of them from Stack Over~ - which may help you a little. I have not tested yet, still looking for infos and maybe you have already found an answer for your problem. Anyway, here is a short list with articles about server-side validations using different API:
