import {MyValidatorDirective} from './validator.directive';


angular.module('myApp',[])
  .directive(...provide(MyValidatorDirective));

// validator.directive.ts
import {Directive, OnInit} from 'ng-metadata/core';
import {NgModel} from 'ng-metadata/common';

@Directive({selector:'[my-validator]'})
export class MyValidatorDirective implements OnInit{
  // here we are injecting via Type! cool eh?
  constructor(private ngModel: NgModel){}
  ngOnInit(){
    this.ngModel.$validators.myCustomOne = (modelValue, viewValue) => { /* your validation logic */}
  }
}
```
