  1. directive in module ng

Evaluate the given expression when the user changes the input. The expression is evaluated immediately, unlike the JavaScript onchange event which only triggers at the end of a change (usually, when the user leaves the form element or presses the return key).

The ngChange expression is only evaluated when a change in the input value causes a new value to be committed to the model.

It will not be evaluated:

  • if the value returned from the $parsers transformation pipeline has not changed
  • if the input has continued to be invalid since the model will stay null
  • if the model is changed programmatically and not by a change to the input value

Note, this directive requires ngModel to be present.
