angularJS form validation only working for the first time

Question

I'm working on form validations in angularjs and so far i have completed 99%. But the issue is my form validation works correct only for first time submit only. it's confusing to explain but i'll try my best to explain :P .here it is. When i reset my form it is showing error messages that the fields are empty(As it should).like this

enter image description here

After that if i fill 2 fields and submit again i'll work correctly as it should.like this

enter image description here

Now my problem comes.If i reset my form (fields get cleared) and submit the form, only description field error is shown but not in other two.like this

enter image description here

My code

<form name="userForm" ng-submit="submitForm(userForm.$valid, user)" novalidate>


        <!-- NAME -->
        <div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error' : userForm.name.$invalid && userForm.name.$dirty && submitted || (userForm.name.$invalid && userForm.name.$pristine) && submitted }">
            <label>Name*</label>
            <input type="text" name="name" class="item-input-wrapper" ng-model="user.name"  required>
            <label><p ng-show="submitted && userForm.name.$error.required" class="help-block "><font color="#009ACD">You name is required.</font></p></label>
        </div>

         <!-- EMAIL -->
        <div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error' : userForm.email.$invalid && userForm.email.$dirty && submitted || userForm.email.$invalid && userForm.email.$pristine  && submitted  }">
            <label>Email</label>
            <input type="email" name="email" class="item-input-wrapper"ng-model="user.email"  required >
            <label><p ng-show="userForm.email.$invalid && userForm.email.$dirty && submitted || userForm.email.$invalid && userForm.email.$pristine && submitted" class="help-block"><font color="#009ACD">Enter a valid email.</font></p></label>
        </div>

        <!-- DESCRIPTION -->
        <div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error' : userForm.username.$invalid && userForm.username.$dirty && submitted || userForm.username.$invalid && userForm.username.$pristine && submitted }">
            <label>Description</label>
            <input type="text" name="username" class="item-input-wrapper" ng-model="user.username"  ng-minlength="5"  ng-maxlength="60" required>
            <label><font color="white"><p ng-show="userForm.username.$error.minlength && submitted"  class="help-block"><font color="#009ACD">Description is too short.</font></p></label>
            <label><p ng-show="userForm.username.$error.maxlength && submitted" class="help-block"><font color="#009ACD">Description is too long.</font></p></label>
            <label><p ng-show="submitted && userForm.username.$error.required" class="help-block "><font color="#009ACD">Description is required.</font></p></label>
        </div>


        <div class="col"style="text-align: center">
            <button align="left"class="button button-block button-reset"  type="reset" value="Reset" style="display: inline-block;width:100px;text-align:center "
            ng-click="submitted=false" padding-top="true">Reset</button>
            <button class="button button-block button-positive"  style="display: inline-block;width:100px "
            ng-click="submitted=true" type="submit" padding-top="true">Submit</button>
        </div>
    </form>
</div>

Looking at the logic: userForm.email.$invalid && userForm.email.$dirty && submitted || userForm.email.$invalid && userForm.email.$pristine && submitted - since $dirty and $pristine are direct opposites I would have thought that you could reduce this to: userForm.email.$invalid && submitted || userForm.email.$invalid && submitted. Also I think that $dirty and $pristine are only applied to the whole FORM and not to individual INPUTs, but I have never used them, I admit. — mwarren

$setPristine(); may be useful for what you looking for. Try to add like this as shown below...

<button class="button" type="reset" ng-click="form.$setPristine()">Reset</button>

For further information and for working demo refer the below link

AngularJS does not proper handle button type="reset"?

you can also refer the below link for setting up the form to pristine state

Reset form to pristine state (AngularJS 1.0.x)

figured out the solution

inside your controller add this

$scope.reset = function() {
            $scope.user = angular.copy($scope.orig);
            $scope.userForm.$setPristine();

};

Here 'userForm' should be your form name and 'user' should be your model.

This works for me.try it.

<form name="forms.sample" novalidate>

        <md-input-container class="md-block" flex-gt-sm>
            <label>Name:</label>
            <input ng-focus="focus=true" ng-blur="focus=false" style="width:400px;" class="form-control" name="Name" type="text" data-ng-model="Name" ng-pattern="SomePattern" required placeholder="enter the Name here" />
            <div ng-messages for="forms.sample.Name.$error" ng-if="!focus">
                <div ng-if='forms.sample.Name.$touched' ng-message="required">This is required.</div>
                <div ng-if='forms.sample.Name.$touched' ng-message="pattern">Enter a valid domain name</div>
            </div>
        </md-input-container>    
    </form>
