In old validation mdbValidate was an input of mdbInputDirective used to disable/enable validation. Now mdbValidate is a separate directive that can be used to add validation to form elements.

If you need input without validation use mdbInput. If you want to add validation to it, add mdbValidate directive.

Since I use my custom validation, I used [mdbValidate]="false"

I also use mdbInputDirective.

Does it mean that I can drop [mdbValidate]="false" and replace mdbInputDirective with just mdbInput ?

Dear mdb2,

1. We encourage you to implement new method. mdbInputDirective will be removed from the package in the future (we will provide information when exactly).

2. You need mdbInput to add material look and animations to input and textarea elements and mdbValidate to add validation styles. You can find more information in our validation documentation, please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Angular Validation
