I am using a mix of primeNG controls and html controls. The issue is the primeNG controls don't work properly for the phone mask and for he auto-complete the style is different .
for example: html (phone is never showing as red if the user set focus on the control then just tab to the next control)
<div class="form-group col-xs-3 col-md-3"
[ngClass]="{
'has-error':(ersaForm.get('phone').touched || ersaForm.get('phone').dirty ) &&
!ersaForm.get('phone').valid
}">
<label for="phoneId" class="control-label">Phone</label><br />
<!--<input type="tel" class="form-control" id="phone" placeholder="Phone">-->
<p-inputMask mask="(999) 999-9999" formControlName="phone" id="nameId" required placeholder="Phone (required)"></p-inputMask>
<span class="help-block" *ngIf="(ersaForm.get('phone').touched || ersaForm.get('phone').dirty ) &&
ersaForm.get('phone').errors">
<span *ngIf="ersaForm.get('phone').errors">
Phone Number must be 9 charatcers.
</span>
</span>
</div>
for the auto complete it works , but the style is not consistent .
html
<div class="form-group col-xs-3 col-md-3"
[ngClass]="{
'has-error':(ersaForm.get('costCenter').touched || ersaForm.get('costCenter').dirty ) &&
!ersaForm.get('costCenter').valid
}">
<label for="costCenterId" class="control-label">Cost Center</label>
<p-autoComplete formControlName="costCenter" id="costCenterId" [suggestions]="iCostCenter" placeholder="Cost Center (required)" (completeMethod)="searchCC($event)" [style]="{'width':'85%'}" [inputStyle]="{'width':'85%'}" field="cost_center_name" dataKey="cost_center_id" [dropdown]="true"></p-autoComplete>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-xs-3 col-md-3"
[ngClass]="{
'has-error':(ersaForm.get('gradeLevel').touched || ersaForm.get('gradeLevel').dirty ) &&
!ersaForm.get('gradeLevel').valid
}">
<label for="gradeLevelId" class="control-label">Grade Level</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="gradeLevelId" formControlName="gradeLevel" maxlength="2" placeholder="Grade Level (required)">
<span class="help-block" *ngIf="(ersaForm.get('gradeLevel').touched || ersaForm.get('gradeLevel').dirty ) &&
ersaForm.get('gradeLevel').errors">
<span *ngIf="ersaForm.get('gradeLevel').errors.minlength">
Grade Level must be 2 characters.
</span>
</span>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-xs-3 col-md-3"
[ngClass]="{
'has-error':(ersaForm.get('manager').touched || ersaForm.get('manager').dirty ) &&
!ersaForm.get('manager').valid
}">
<label for="managerId" class="control-label">Manager</label>
<p-autoComplete
[![enter image description here][1]][1] [suggestions]="iManager" id="ManagerId" formControlName="manager" placeholder="Manager (required)" (completeMethod)="searchManager($event)" [style]="{'width':'85%'}" [inputStyle]="{'width':'85%'}" field="NT_USER_NM" dataKey="ORG_BRH_NO" [dropdown]="true"></p-autoComplete>
</div>
</div>
see the below image (the bottom boarder of the manager auto complete becomes red only if I select something then erase it
TS
this.ersaForm = this._fb.group({
gradeLevel: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(2)]],
manager: ['', Validators.required],
phone: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(9)]],
});
