Angular Supports two ways of building forms. One is a template-driven approach, the other is called reactive form. Here, we will learn how to create a simple Template-driven forms example app. We first build a simple HTML form with just a few form elements. The ngForm
directive will convert it into a Template-driven form and create the top-level FormGroup
control. Next, we’ll use the ngModel
directive to create FormControl
objects for each of the HTML form elements. Later, we will learn about how to submit the form data to the component class and also learn how to initialize or reset form data and how to use the data binding features.
Template-driven forms require directives and attributes to create predefined behaviors/validations in our template and let it work in the background. All things happen in Templates, so very little code is needed in the component class. This is different from the reactive forms. In those, we define the logic and controls in the component class.
