AngularJS ignoring whitespace in string

Question

I am having hard time finding out how can I get AngularJS not to ignore whitespaces in strings. Im trying to validate password requirements with AngularJS directive and regex pattern and problem is that I dont want to allow leading or trailing whitespace in password.

Here is fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/GX5Kr/9/

var regex = /^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-zA-Z])([a-zA-Z0-9]{5,})$/;

[SPACE][SPACE][SPACE][SPACE][SPACE]foo[SPACE][SPACE][SPACE][SPACE][SPACE] reports length 3 instead of 13 - are you sure it doesn't trim the output? — h2ooooooo

There is nothing in the regex that allows for leading/trailing spaces since the final constraint is [a-zA-Z0-9]{5,} and its all wrapped with ^$ anchors. Must be something else. — user557597

Yes. That is not my problem. Problem is angularjs striping all whitespaces off from variables. That way i cant never check them. See fiddle before commenting... — makallio85

This question is a duplicate of Get trailing white space from input type password to scope?

You're probably looking for ng-trim="false". This will update your model including spaces typed into your <input>.

I updated your fiddle for proof. http://jsfiddle.net/GX5Kr/10/
