Angular Forms in Angular
Angular Forms is the third chapter of the free Angular tutorial. Almost every business application collects data through forms, such as sign-up pages, checkout pages and settings screens.
What each lesson covers:
- Template-Driven Forms:
FormsModuleandngModel, every common input type from text fields to checkboxes and dates, handling input, tracking form state, submitting and resetting forms. - Reactive Forms: Defining forms in the class with
FormControl,FormGroup,FormBuilderandFormArray, and updating values withsetValue()andpatchValue(). - Form Validation: Built-in validators, control states such as
touchedanddirty, clear error messages, custom, cross-field, real-time and conditional validation.
Every practice block runs real Angular in your browser, in TypeScript or JavaScript. The exercises check what your form displays after you change the code, so any correct answer passes.
