forms should allow "form-level" validation

[vojtajina]

Use case:

• confirm (re-type) password
• datepicker from / to (to must be greater)
• more

Problems with current design:

• difficult to access the form from controller (you can only access the root form and listen on its "$validate" event, which works, but...), so probably want to add "ng:validator" attribute for forms ?
• then, when doing the validation, we need to access the widgets, because you can fire $valid/$invalid only on widget (not possible on form level) and accessing widgets is tricky...

Check out this ugly sollution of confirm password with current design:

all of these were addressed in the 3rd forms rewrite. right?

This is probably not the place to ask, but I can't find resources about this topic: how to implement form-level validation in the current version of Angular?

These two pages on the Angular API docs helped me :

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:form
http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:form.FormController
