Angularjs setValidity causing modelValue to not update

Question

I\'m having some basic trouble with a form. Here\'s what I did.

I snagged this cool looking directive from here: https://github.com/TheSharpieOne/angular-input-matc

It looks like maybe using $setValidity is not the way to go here. I found this question that proposes a different solution, using $validators and $validate(), and this is working for me great. The new code looks like this:

directive('match', function () {
  return {
    require: 'ngModel',
    restrict: 'A',
    scope: {
      match: '='
    },
    link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ngModel) {
      scope.$watch('match', function(pass){
        ngModel.$validate();
      });
      ngModel.$validators.match = function(modelValue, viewValue){
        var value = modelValue || viewValue;
        var match = scope.match;
        return value === match;
      };
    }
  };
});
