Page not reflecting changes

Hi All,

I am using Ionic2 rc4. I have a login form.

enter image description here

As you can see, the Sign In button is disabled.

My problem is it should only be disabled when the form is invalid. However, when the form is valid, i.e. there is an Email and Password, it should not be disabled.

When I enter an Email and Password it stays disabled, but if I switch focus off the browser, and then back to it, it is enabled. It is as if the page is not refreshing to the correct status.

Question

Is there a way to get this enabled immediately as the form is valid?

            throw new Error(error.message);
        });
    }
}

Was looking at ChangeDetectionStrategy, ChangeDetectorRef:

ref.markForCheck()

But don’t think this will work for me, because the users action is disabled due to the button being incorrectly disabled.

Or is there some way of doing it on change of focus of the input fields?
