AngularDart: Creating a Form with Reactive Form Builder

Issue

I’m trying to create from using AngularDart 5, angular_forms 2. The API seems to be very different from angular_forms 1 and I cannot figure out how to create a FormGroup using FormBuilder and ControlGroup. Below is my code.

LoginComponent.dart

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:angular/angular.dart';
import 'package:angular_forms/angular_forms.dart';

@Component(
    selector: 'login-comp',
    templateUrl: 'login_component.html',
    styleUrls: ['login_component.css'],
    directives: [formDirectives, coreDirectives])
class LoginComponent implements OnInit {
  ControlGroup ctrlGrp;

  LoginComponent() {
    this._createForm();
  }

  void _createForm() {
    final email = Control<String>('', Validators.required);
    final password = Control<String>(
        '', Validators.compose([Validators.required, Validators.minLength(8)]));

    this.ctrlGrp =
        FormBuilder.controlGroup({'email': email, 'password': password});
  }

  @override
  void ngOnInit() {}

  void submit() {}
}

login_component.html

<div class="container d-flex justify-content-center align-times-center">
    <div class="form-wrapper text-center">
        <h2 class="text-center">Login</h2>
        <form novalidate #f="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="submit()">
            <div ngControlGroup="ctrlGrp">
                <div class="form-group">
                    <input type="email" ngControl="email" class="form-control" id="email-input"
                           placeholder="Enter Email" formControlName="email"/>
                </div>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <input type="password" ngControl="password" class="form-control" id="password-input"
                           placeholder="Enter Password" formControlName="password"/>
                </div>
            </div>
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" [disabled]="!f.valid">Submit</button>
        </form>
        <small><a [routerLink]="'/signup'">Need an Account?</a></small>
    </div>
</div>

pubspec.yaml

  angular: ^5.0.0
  ng_bootstrap: ^1.1.1

• How can I create a FormGroup with angular_forms 2?
• How can I bind a from group to formGroup attribute in html template?

Thanks.

Solution

Add ngFormModel in you form tag:

<form novalidate #f="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="submit()" [ngFormModel]="ctrlGrp"></form>
