@ngdoc error @name ngModel:nopromise @fullName No promise @description The return value of an async validator, must always be a promise. If you want to return a non-promise value, you can convert it to a promise using {@link ng.$q#resolve `$q.resolve()`} or {@link ng.$q#reject `$q.reject()`}. Example: ``` .directive('asyncValidator', function($q) { return { require: 'ngModel', link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ngModel) { ngModel.$asyncValidators.myAsyncValidation = function(modelValue, viewValue) { if (/* I don't need to hit the backend API */) { return $q.resolve(); // to mark as valid or // return $q.reject(); // to mark as invalid } else { // ...send a request to the backend and return a promise } }; } }; }) ```
