Only works with AngularJS, an older framework, not modern Angular.
This is a small JavaScript library that solves a common problem on signup and password-reset forms: making sure users type the same password twice. Instead of building this validation from scratch, developers can drop this library into their AngularJS project and use it with a simple one-line attribute. Here's how it works. You add the library to your AngularJS app, then mark your password confirmation field with a match-password attribute that points to the original password field's name. The library then automatically checks whether the two fields match and marks the confirmation field as invalid if they don't. The validation happens efficiently using AngularJS's built-in parser system rather than constantly watching for changes, which keeps the page responsive even on slower devices. The main benefit is saving time and reducing boilerplate. Instead of writing custom validation logic, a developer can write two lines of HTML and have password matching work out of the box. You can also integrate it with AngularJS's error messaging system to show custom error text like "Your passwords did not match" directly beneath the confirmation field, the README includes a complete example showing this in action. Anyone building a web form with AngularJS would find this useful, especially for password resets, account creation, or any place where users need to confirm sensitive input. The library is lightweight and has been around long enough to be fairly stable, though it's specific to AngularJS, which is an older framework. If your project already uses AngularJS, this is a straightforward way to handle password confirmation without reinventing the wheel.
