angularjs - Best way to get values using ngFormController -

this can't correct, perhaps google has gone off rails life of me can't find documentation return $valid = true values using formcontroller. functionality exist? i'm trying marshall information form , send web service wan't make sensible before doing so. i'm looping through properties in formcontroller given form , looking see if doesn't start $, , $valid = true , pushing array so:

            angular.foreach(form,function(data,key)         {              if(key.indexof('$') === -1 && data.$valid)             {                  var item[key] = data.$modelvalue;                  clean.push(item);              }          }) 

real basic, i'm totally stumped (and can't believe) doesn't exist in angular api somewhere. missing something? i'm still learning lot angular , getting feeling isn't documented perhaps i'm missing quite basic. reading!

this not ngformcontroller used (for validation , custom directive scripting). if need collection form data send server need make use of ngmodel directives:

<form novalidate ng-submit="saveuser()">     <input type="text" ng-model="user.name">     <input type="text" ng-model="user.email"> </form> 

and in controller saveuser handler can access form data like

$scope.saveuser = function() {     console.log($scope.user); // {name: "thomas", email: "mann@ga.com"}     // use $scope.user data send server };
