Creating custom validators enables specialized validation logic that goes beyond Angular’s built-in validators for business-specific requirements. With over 25 years of experience in software development and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve built countless custom validators for enterprise applications and complex business rules. From my expertise, the most reliable approach is creating validator functions that return validation error objects or null for valid inputs. This pattern provides flexible, reusable validation logic that integrates seamlessly with Angular’s reactive forms system.

Creating and dispatching custom events enables powerful component communication and decoupled application architectures. With over 25 years of experience in software development and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve built extensive event systems for complex UI interactions. From my expertise, the most effective approach is using the CustomEvent constructor with the dispatchEvent() method to create flexible, data-carrying events. This pattern allows components to communicate without tight coupling.
