Create ngModelBehaviors concept customizable in form extensions provider about angularagility

[johnculviner]

Currently there is not. You can see it being done here (so it'd be easy enough for you to manually remove in the short term)

I was just thinking about it: maybe there should be some sort of "ngModelBehaviors" that allows people to tack on (or remove in your case) functionality related to fields. So by default it would include onSubmitAttempt functionality, blur functionality, dirty handling etc. but you could simply remove the key on the ngModelBehaviors object to disable it completely (or replace it with your own implementation). Thoughts?

Cool, thanks for the link!

Yeah, I like the idea of being able to have behavior sets that come out of the box but can also be redefined if needed. I'm not familiar enough with the project to speak about actual implementation but I can see a further need given that I'd love to eventually use this with ionicframework which would have further functionality tweaks needed since it would be primarily on mobile.

It'd be neat if I could define default behavior maps in the config but still override those on a per input field basis if needed (sort of like validation partials). The only problem I see with allow the amount of flexibility that I'm thinking about is that it seems like keeping the markup simple might become an issue.

The provider model might save the day again in your situation and keep the code very simple (or at least simple for everyone else without you having to change the source code of the library). One of my co-workers added this to allow for different sizes of bootstrap form fields:

I think the behaviors will be a really nice and missing extensibility point that makes things more flexible from that angle too.
