Template-driven Forms
This lesson introduces you to template-driven forms in Angular, allowing you to quickly build simple forms.
What are Template-driven Forms?
Template-driven forms use HTML templates and Angular directives to handle form creation, validation, and submission easily.
Importing FormsModule
To use template-driven forms, import FormsModule into your Angular module:
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';Creating a Simple Form
Define a simple form in your template using the ngForm directive:
<form #form="ngForm">
<input name="username" ngModel>
</form>Two-way Binding with ngModel
ngModel binds form controls to component properties using two-way data binding:
<input [(ngModel)]="user.name" name="username">Form Submission
Handle form submission easily using Angular's event binding:
<form (ngSubmit)="onSubmit(form)" #form="ngForm">Form Validation
Angular provides easy validation directives like required and minlength:
<input name="username" ngModel required minlength="4">Accessing Form State
Access form state, like validity or touched status, through template variables:
<div *ngIf="form.invalid && form.touched">Form is invalid!</div>Summary
You've learned how to create, bind, validate, and submit forms easily with template-driven forms. Keep practicing!
