export class AppComponent {
    password: string = ""
    invalid: boolean = true
    console = console
    checkPasswordEmpty() {
        console.log("hi")
        if (this.password.length == 0) {
            this.invalid = true
        }
        else {
            this.invalid = false
        }
    }
}

JavaScript

// app.module.ts
import { NgModule } 
    from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } 
    from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpClientModule }
    from '@angular/common/http';
import { FormsModule } 
    from '@angular/forms'
import { AppComponent } 
    from './app.component';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [

    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
