I am trying to build Reactive-Form spanning multiple components, something like this
<form [formGroup]="myForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmitted()">
<app-names></app-names>
<app-address></app-address>
<app-phones></app-phones>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
When I try to submit, I get empty object.
Make the following changes
1.Use only one FormGroup instead of creating the new FormGroup for each component.
2.You have @Input for FormGroup however you are not passing as input.
3.Remove FormBuilder from the child component.
<form [formGroup]="myForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmitted()">
<app-names [myForm]="myForm"></app-names>
<app-address [myForm]="myForm"></app-address>
<app-phones [myForm]="myForm"></app-phones>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
import { Component, OnInit, Input} from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroup,FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';
@Component({
selector: 'app-address',
templateUrl: './address.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./address.component.css']
})
export class AddressComponent implements OnInit {
@Input() myForm: FormGroup;
constructor(
private formBuilder: FormBuilder
) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.myForm.addControl("homeAddress" , new FormControl());
this.myForm.addControl("officeAddress" , new FormControl());
}
}
Make the similar changes for other components.
There's another option to do it without using @Input
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {
FormControl,
ControlContainer,
FormGroupDirective
} from '@angular/forms';
@Component({
selector: 'app-address',
templateUrl: './address.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./address.component.css'],
viewProviders: [
{
provide: ControlContainer,
useExisting: FormGroupDirective
}
]
})
export class AddressComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(private parent: FormGroupDirective) {}
ngOnInit() {
const myForm = this.parent.form;
myForm.addControl("homeAddress", new FormControl());
myForm.addControl("officeAddress", new FormControl());
}
}
