Subject: [PATCH] validator : add custom unique validator for complex object.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This PR adds a custom validator to check if complex object are unique
into an array of objects. Comparing to UniqueValidator from ngx-formly,
this new validator allows to specify which objects keys should be used
to compare if values are unique into an array.
