              ### Provide a custom async validator directive

              The following example implements the AsyncValidator interface to create an async validator directive with a custom error key.

              @Directive({

              ### Providing a custom validator

              The following example registers a custom validator directive. Adding the validator to the existing collection of validators requires the multi: true option.

              @Directive({
              selector: '[customValidator]',
              providers: [{provide: NG_VALIDATORS, useExisting: CustomValidatorDirective, multi: true}]

                          Functions

                          function isFormArray

                          isFormArray: (control: unknown) => control is FormArray<any>;
                          • Asserts that the given control is an instance of FormArray

                          function isFormControl

                          isFormControl: (control: unknown) => control is FormControl<any>;
                          • Asserts that the given control is an instance of FormControl

                          function isFormGroup

                          isFormGroup: (control: unknown) => control is FormGroup<any>;
                          • Asserts that the given control is an instance of FormGroup

                          function isFormRecord

                          isFormRecord: (
                          control: unknown
                          ) => control is FormRecord<AbstractControl<any, any>>;
                          • Asserts that the given control is an instance of FormRecord

                          Classes

                          class AbstractControl

                          abstract class AbstractControl<TValue = any, TRawValue extends TValue = TValue> {}
                          • This is the base class for FormControl, FormGroup, and FormArray.

                            It provides some of the shared behavior that all controls and groups of controls have, like running validators, calculating status, and resetting state. It also defines the properties that are shared between all sub-classes, like value, valid, and dirty. It shouldn't be instantiated directly.

                            The first type parameter TValue represents the value type of the control (control.value). The optional type parameter TRawValue represents the raw value type (control.getRawValue()).

                          • Initialize the AbstractControl instance.

                            Parameter validators

                            The function or array of functions that is used to determine the validity of this control synchronously.

                            Parameter asyncValidators

                            The function or array of functions that is used to determine validity of this control asynchronously.

                          • A control is enabled as long as its status is not DISABLED.

                            Returns

                            True if the control has any status other than 'DISABLED', false if the status is 'DISABLED'.

                          • A control is invalid when its status is INVALID.

                            Returns

                            True if this control has failed one or more of its validation checks, false otherwise.

                          • The parent control.

                          property pending

                          readonly pending: boolean;
                          • A control is pending when its status is PENDING.

                            Returns

                            True if this control is in the process of conducting a validation check, false otherwise.

                            See Also

                          property pristine

                          readonly pristine: boolean;
                          • A control is pristine if the user has not yet changed the value in the UI.

                            Returns

                            True if the user has not yet changed the value in the UI; compare dirty. Programmatic changes to a control's value do not mark it dirty.

                          property root

                          readonly root: AbstractControl<any, any>;

                              These status values are mutually exclusive, so a control cannot be both valid AND invalid or invalid AND disabled.

                          property statusChanges

                          readonly statusChanges: Observable<FormControlStatus>;

                          readonly touched: boolean;
                          • True if the control is marked as touched.

                            A control is marked touched once the user has triggered a blur event on it.

                          property untouched

                          readonly untouched: boolean;
                          • True if the control has not been marked as touched

                            A control is untouched if the user has not yet triggered a blur event on it.

                          property updateOn

                          readonly updateOn: FormHooks;
                          • Reports the update strategy of the AbstractControl (meaning the event on which the control updates itself). Possible values: 'change' | 'blur' | 'submit' Default value: 'change'

                          property valid

                          readonly valid: boolean;

                          • Returns the function that is used to determine the validity of this control synchronously. If multiple validators have been added, this will be a single composed function. See Validators.compose() for additional information.

                          property value

                          readonly value: {};
                          • The current value of the control.

                            * For a FormControl, the current value. * For an enabled FormGroup, the values of enabled controls as an object with a key-value pair for each member of the group. * For a disabled FormGroup, the values of all controls as an object with a key-value pair for each member of the group. * For a FormArray, the values of enabled controls as an array.

                          property valueChanges

                          • A multicasting observable that emits an event every time the value of the control changes, in the UI or programmatically. It also emits an event each time you call enable() or disable() without passing along {emitEvent: false} as a function argument.

                          method addAsyncValidators

                          addAsyncValidators: (validators: AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidatorFn[]) => void;
                          • Add an asynchronous validator or validators to this control, without affecting other validators.

                            When you add or remove a validator at run time, you must call updateValueAndValidity() for the new validation to take effect.

                            Adding a validator that already exists will have no effect.

                            Parameter validators

                            The new asynchronous validator function or functions to add to this control.

                          • Add a synchronous validator or validators to this control, without affecting other validators.

                            When you add or remove a validator at run time, you must call updateValueAndValidity() for the new validation to take effect.

                            Adding a validator that already exists will have no effect. If duplicate validator functions are present in the validators array, only the first instance would be added to a form control.

                            Parameter validators

                            The new validator function or functions to add to this control.

                          method clearAsyncValidators

                          clearAsyncValidators: () => void;
                          • Empties out the async validator list.

                            When you add or remove a validator at run time, you must call updateValueAndValidity() for the new validation to take effect.

                          method clearValidators

                          clearValidators: () => void;
                          • Empties out the synchronous validator list.

                            When you add or remove a validator at run time, you must call updateValueAndValidity() for the new validation to take effect.

                          method disable

                          disable: (opts?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }) => void;
                          • Disables the control. This means the control is exempt from validation checks and excluded from the aggregate value of any parent. Its status is DISABLED.

                            If the control has children, all children are also disabled.

                            Parameter opts

                            Configuration options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events after the control is disabled. * onlySelf: When true, mark only this control. When false or not supplied, marks all direct ancestors. Default is false. * emitEvent: When true or not supplied (the default), both the statusChanges and valueChanges observables emit events with the latest status and value when the control is disabled. When false, no events are emitted.

                          • Retrieves a child control given the control's name or path.

                            This signature for get supports non-const (mutable) arrays. Inferred type information will not be as robust, so prefer to pass a readonly array if possible.

                          method getError

                          getError: (errorCode: string, path?: Array<string | number> | string) => any;
                          • Reports error data for the control with the given path.

                            Parameter path

                            A list of control names that designates how to move from the current control to the control that should be queried for errors.

                            For example, for the following FormGroup:

                            form = new FormGroup({
                            address: new FormGroup({ street: new FormControl() })
                            });

                            The path to the 'street' control from the root form would be 'address' -> 'street'.

                            It can be provided to this method in one of two formats:

                            1. An array of string control names, e.g. ['address', 'street'] 1. A period-delimited list of control names in one string, e.g. 'address.street'

                            Returns

                            error data for that particular error. If the control or error is not present, null is returned.

                          method getRawValue

                          getRawValue: () => any;
                          • The raw value of this control. For most control implementations, the raw value will include disabled children.

                          • Check whether an asynchronous validator function is present on this control. The provided validator must be a reference to the exact same function that was provided.

                            Parameter validator

                            The asynchronous validator to check for presence. Compared by function reference.

                            Returns

                            Whether the provided asynchronous validator was found on this control.

                          method hasError

                          hasError: (errorCode: string, path?: Array<string | number> | string) => boolean;
                          • Reports whether the control with the given path has the error specified.

                            Parameter errorCode

                            The code of the error to check

                            Parameter path

                            A list of control names that designates how to move from the current control to the control that should be queried for errors.

                            For example, for the following FormGroup:

                            form = new FormGroup({
                            address: new FormGroup({ street: new FormControl() })
                            });

                            The path to the 'street' control from the root form would be 'address' -> 'street'.

                            It can be provided to this method in one of two formats:

                            1. An array of string control names, e.g. ['address', 'street'] 1. A period-delimited list of control names in one string, e.g. 'address.street'

                            If no path is given, this method checks for the error on the current control.

                            Returns

                            whether the given error is present in the control at the given path.

                            If the control is not present, false is returned.

                          method hasValidator

                            When you add or remove a validator at run time, you must call updateValueAndValidity() for the new validation to take effect.

                            If you want to add a new validator without affecting existing ones, consider using addValidators() method instead.

                          method setValue

                          abstract setValue: (value: TRawValue, options?: Object) => void;
                          • Sets the value of the control. Abstract method (implemented in sub-classes).

                          method updateValueAndValidity

                          updateValueAndValidity: (opts?: {

                          emitEvent?: boolean;
                          }) => void;
                          • Recalculates the value and validation status of the control.

                            By default, it also updates the value and validity of its ancestors.

                            Parameter opts

                            Configuration options determine how the control propagates changes and emits events after updates and validity checks are applied. * onlySelf: When true, only update this control. When false or not supplied, update all direct ancestors. Default is false. * emitEvent: When true or not supplied (the default), both the statusChanges and valueChanges observables emit events with the latest status and value when the control is updated. When false, no events are emitted.

                            Parameter path

                            A list of control names that designates how to move from the current control to the control that should be queried for errors.

                            For example, for the following FormGroup:

                            form = new FormGroup({

                            address: new FormGroup({ street: new FormControl() })
                            });

                            The path to the 'street' control from the root form would be 'address' -> 'street'.

                            It can be provided to this method in one of two formats:

                            If no path is given, this method checks for the error on the current control.

                            Returns

                            whether the given error is present in the control at the given path.

                            If the control is not present, false is returned.

                                      implements ControlValueAccessor {}
                                      • The default ControlValueAccessor for writing a value and listening to changes on input elements. The accessor is used by the FormControlDirective, FormControlName, and NgModel directives.

                                        ### Using the default value accessor

                                        The following example shows how to use an input element that activates the default value accessor (in this case, a text field).

                                        const firstNameControl = new FormControl();

                                        <input type="text" [formControl]="firstNameControl">

                                        This value accessor is used by default for <input type="text"> and <textarea> elements, but you could also use it for custom components that have similar behavior and do not require special processing. In order to attach the default value accessor to a custom element, add the ngDefaultControl attribute as shown below.

                                        <custom-input-component ngDefaultControl [(ngModel)]="value"></custom-input-component>

                                                  A FormArray aggregates the values of each child FormControl into an array. It calculates its status by reducing the status values of its children. For example, if one of the controls in a FormArray is invalid, the entire array becomes invalid.

                                                  FormArray accepts one generic argument, which is the type of the controls inside. If you need a heterogenous array, use UntypedFormArray.

                                                  FormArray is one of the four fundamental building blocks used to define forms in Angular, along with FormControl, FormGroup, and FormRecord.

                                                  ### Create an array of form controls

                                                  const arr = new FormArray([
                                                  new FormControl('Nancy', Validators.minLength(2)),
                                                  new FormControl('Drew'),
                                                  ]);
                                                  console.log(arr.value); // ['Nancy', 'Drew']
                                                  console.log(arr.status); // 'VALID'

                                                  ### Create a form array with array-level validators

                                                  You include array-level validators and async validators. These come in handy when you want to perform validation that considers the value of more than one child control.

                                                  The two types of validators are passed in separately as the second and third arg respectively, or together as part of an options object.

                                                  const arr = new FormArray([
                                                  new FormControl('Nancy'),
                                                  new FormControl('Drew')
                                                  ], {validators: myValidator, asyncValidators: myAsyncValidator});

                                                  ### Set the updateOn property for all controls in a form array

                                                  The options object is used to set a default value for each child control's updateOn property. If you set updateOn to 'blur' at the array level, all child controls default to 'blur', unless the child has explicitly specified a different updateOn value.

                                                  const arr = new FormArray([
                                                  new FormControl()
                                                  ], {updateOn: 'blur'});

                                                  ### Adding or removing controls from a form array

                                                  To change the controls in the array, use the push, insert, removeAt or clear methods in FormArray itself. These methods ensure the controls are properly tracked in the form's hierarchy. Do not modify the array of AbstractControls used to instantiate the FormArray directly, as that result in strange and unexpected behavior such as broken change detection.

                                                  An array of child controls. Each child control is given an index where it is registered.

                                                  Parameter validatorOrOpts

                                                  A synchronous validator function, or an array of such functions, or an AbstractControlOptions object that contains validation functions and a validation trigger.

                                                    Parameter index

                                                    Index in the array to retrieve the control. If index is negative, it will wrap around from the back, and if index is greatly negative (less than -length), the result is undefined. This behavior is the same as Array.at(index).

                                                  method clear

                                                  clear: (options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }) => void;

                                                    Parameter options

                                                    Specifies whether this FormArray instance should emit events after all controls are removed. * emitEvent: When true or not supplied (the default), both the statusChanges and valueChanges observables emit events with the latest status and value when all controls in this FormArray instance are removed. When false, no events are emitted.

                                                    ### Remove all elements from a FormArray

                                                    const arr = new FormArray([
                                                    new FormControl(),
                                                    new FormControl()
                                                    ]);
                                                    console.log(arr.length); // 2
                                                    arr.clear();
                                                    console.log(arr.length); // 0

                                                    It's a simpler and more efficient alternative to removing all elements one by one:

                                                    Reports all values regardless of disabled status.

                                                      ### Example

                                                      ReactiveFormsModule

                                                  constructor

                                                  constructor(
                                                  parent: ControlContainer,
                                                  validators: (ValidatorFn | Validator)[],
                                                  asyncValidators: (AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidator)[]
                                                  );

                                                    property control

                                                    readonly control: FormArray<any>;
                                                    • The FormArray bound to this directive.

                                                    property formDirective

                                                    readonly formDirective: FormGroupDirective;
                                                    • The top-level directive for this group if present, otherwise null.

                                                    property name

                                                    name: string | number;
                                                    • Tracks the name of the FormArray bound to the directive. The name corresponds to a key in the parent FormGroup or FormArray. Accepts a name as a string or a number. The name in the form of a string is useful for individual forms, while the numerical form allows for form arrays to be bound to indices when iterating over arrays in a FormArray.

                                                    property ɵdir

                                                        property path

                                                        readonly path: string[];
                                                        • Returns an array that represents the path from the top-level form to this control. Each index is the string name of the control on that level.

                                                        method ngOnInit

                                                        ngOnInit: () => void;
                                                        • A lifecycle method called when the directive's inputs are initialized. For internal use only.

                                                          Throws

                                                          If the directive does not have a valid parent.

                                                        class FormBuilder

                                                        class FormBuilder {}
                                                        • Creates an AbstractControl from a user-specified configuration.

                                                          The FormBuilder provides syntactic sugar that shortens creating instances of a FormControl, FormGroup, or FormArray. It reduces the amount of boilerplate needed to build complex forms.

                                                        property nonNullable

                                                        readonly nonNullable: NonNullableFormBuilder;
                                                        • Returns a FormBuilder in which automatically constructed FormControl elements have {nonNullable: true} and are non-nullable.

                                                          **Constructing non-nullable controls**

                                                          When constructing a control, it will be non-nullable, and will reset to its initial value.

                                                          let nnfb = new FormBuilder().nonNullable;
                                                          let name = nnfb.control('Alex'); // FormControl<string>
                                                          name.reset();
                                                          console.log(name); // 'Alex'

                                                          **Constructing non-nullable groups or arrays**

                                                          When constructing a group or array, all automatically created inner controls will be non-nullable, and will reset to their initial values.

                                                          let nnfb = new FormBuilder().nonNullable;
                                                          let name = nnfb.group({who: 'Alex'}); // FormGroup<{who: FormControl<string>}>
                                                          name.reset();
                                                          console.log(name); // {who: 'Alex'}

                                                          **Constructing *nullable* fields on groups or arrays**

                                                          It is still possible to have a nullable field. In particular, any FormControl which is *already* constructed will not be altered. For example:

                                                          let nnfb = new FormBuilder().nonNullable;
                                                          // FormGroup<{who: FormControl<string|null>}>
                                                          let name = nnfb.group({who: new FormControl('Alex')});
                                                          name.reset(); console.log(name); // {who: null}

                                                          Because the inner control is constructed explicitly by the caller, the builder has no control over how it is created, and cannot exclude the null.

                                                              This API is not typesafe and can result in issues with Closure Compiler renaming. Use the FormBuilder#group overload with AbstractControlOptions instead. Note that AbstractControlOptions expects validators and asyncValidators to be valid validators. If you have custom validators, make sure their validation function parameter is AbstractControl and not a sub-class, such as FormGroup. These functions will be called with an object of type AbstractControl and that cannot be automatically downcast to a subclass, so TypeScript sees this as an error. For example, change the `(group: FormGroup) => ValidationErrors|null signature to be (group: AbstractControl) => ValidationErrors|null`.

It calculates its status by reducing the status values of its children. For example, if one of the controls in a group is invalid, the entire group becomes invalid.

                                                                          FormGroup is one of the four fundamental building blocks used to define forms in Angular, along with FormControl, FormArray, and FormRecord.

                                                                          When instantiating a FormGroup, pass in a collection of child controls as the first argument. The key for each child registers the name for the control.

                                                                          FormGroup is intended for use cases where the keys are known ahead of time. If you need to dynamically add and remove controls, use FormRecord instead.

                                                                          FormGroup accepts an optional type parameter TControl, which is an object type with inner control types as values.

                                                                          ### Create a form group with 2 controls

                                                                          first: new FormControl('Nancy', Validators.minLength(2)),
                                                                          last: new FormControl('Drew'),
                                                                          });
                                                                          console.log(form.value); // {first: 'Nancy', last; 'Drew'}
                                                                          console.log(form.status); // 'VALID'

                                                                          FormGroup accepts one generic argument, which is an object containing its inner controls. This type will usually be inferred automatically, but you can always specify it explicitly if you wish.

                                                                          If you have controls that are optional (i.e. they can be removed, you can use the ? in the type):

                                                                          const form = new FormGroup<{
                                                                          first: FormControl<string|null>,
                                                                          middle?: FormControl<string|null>, // Middle name is optional.
                                                                          last: FormControl<string|null>,
                                                                          }>({
                                                                          first: new FormControl('Nancy'),
                                                                          last: new FormControl('Drew'),
                                                                          });

                                                                          ### Create a form group with a group-level validator

                                                                          You include group-level validators as the second arg, or group-level async validators as the third arg. These come in handy when you want to perform validation that considers the value of more than one child control.

                                                                          const form = new FormGroup({
                                                                          password: new FormControl('', Validators.minLength(2)),
                                                                          passwordConfirm: new FormControl('', Validators.minLength(2)),
                                                                          }, passwordMatchValidator);
                                                                          function passwordMatchValidator(g: FormGroup) {
                                                                          return g.get('password').value === g.get('passwordConfirm').value
                                                                          ? null : {'mismatch': true};
                                                                          }

                                                                          Like FormControl instances, you choose to pass in validators and async validators as part of an options object.

                                                                          const form = new FormGroup({
                                                                          password: new FormControl('')
                                                                          passwordConfirm: new FormControl('')
                                                                          }, { validators: passwordMatchValidator, asyncValidators: otherValidator });

                                                                          ### Set the updateOn property for all controls in a form group

                                                                          The options object is used to set a default value for each child control's updateOn property. If you set updateOn to 'blur' at the group level, all child controls default to 'blur', unless the child has explicitly specified a different updateOn value.

                                                                          const c = new FormGroup({
                                                                          one: new FormControl()
                                                                          }, { updateOn: 'blur' });

                                                                          ### Using a FormGroup with optional controls

                                                                          It is possible to have optional controls in a FormGroup. An optional control can be removed later using removeControl, and can be omitted when calling reset. Optional controls must be declared optional in the group's type.

                                                                          const c = new FormGroup<{one?: FormControl<string>}>({
                                                                          one: new FormControl('')
                                                                          });

                                                                          Notice that c.value.one has type string|null|undefined. This is because calling c.reset({}) without providing the optional key one will cause it to become null.

                                                                        constructor

                                                                        constructor(
                                                                        controls: { [K in keyof TControl]: AbstractControl<any, any> },
                                                                        validatorOrOpts?: ValidatorFn | ValidatorFn[] | AbstractControlOptions,
                                                                        asyncValidator?: AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidatorFn[]
                                                                        );
                                                                        • Creates a new FormGroup instance.

                                                                          Parameter controls

                                                                          Parameter validatorOrOpts

                                                                                                                          • Creates a top-level FormGroup instance and binds it to a form to track aggregate form value and validation status.

                                                                                                                            As soon as you import the FormsModule, this directive becomes active by default on all <form> tags. You don't need to add a special selector.

                                                                                                                            You optionally export the directive into a local template variable using ngForm as the key (ex: #myForm="ngForm"). This is optional, but useful. Many properties from the underlying FormGroup instance are duplicated on the directive itself, so a reference to it gives you access to the aggregate value and validity status of the form, as well as user interaction properties like dirty and touched.

                                                                                                                            To register child controls with the form, use NgModel with a name attribute. You may use NgModelGroup to create sub-groups within the form.

                                                                                                                            If necessary, listen to the directive's ngSubmit event to be notified when the user has triggered a form submission. The ngSubmit event emits the original form submission event.

                                                                                                                            In template driven forms, all <form> tags are automatically tagged as NgForm. To import the FormsModule but skip its usage in some forms, for example, to use native HTML5 validation, add the ngNoForm and the <form> tags won't create an NgForm directive. In reactive forms, using ngNoForm is unnecessary because the <form> tags are inert. In that case, you would refrain from using the formGroup directive.

                                                                                                                            ### Listening for form submission

                                                                                                                            The following example shows how to capture the form values from the "ngSubmit" event.

                                                                                                                            ### Setting the update options

                                                                                                                            The following example shows you how to change the "updateOn" option from its default using ngFormOptions.

                                                                                                                            <form [ngFormOptions]="{updateOn: 'blur'}">
                                                                                                                            <input name="one" ngModel> <!-- this ngModel will update on blur -->
                                                                                                                            </form>

                                                                                                                            ### Native DOM validation UI

                                                                                                                            In order to prevent the native DOM form validation UI from interfering with Angular's form validation, Angular automatically adds the novalidate attribute on any <form> whenever FormModule or ReactiveFormModule are imported into the application. If you want to explicitly enable native DOM validation UI with Angular forms, you can add the ngNativeValidate attribute to the <form> element:

                                                                                                                            <form ngNativeValidate>
                                                                                                                            ...
                                                                                                                            </form>

                                                                                                                            FormsModule

                                                                                                                          constructor

                                                                                                                          constructor(
                                                                                                                          validators: (ValidatorFn | Validator)[],
                                                                                                                          asyncValidators: (AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidator)[],
                                                                                                                          callSetDisabledState?: SetDisabledStateOption

                                                                                                                            property control

                                                                                                                                  The FormControl instance tracks the value, user interaction, and validation status of the control and keeps the view synced with the model. If used within a parent form, the directive also registers itself with the form as a child control.

                                                                                                                                  This directive is used by itself or as part of a larger form. Use the ngModel selector to activate it.

                                                                                                                                  It accepts a domain model as an optional Input. If you have a one-way binding to ngModel with [] syntax, changing the domain model's value in the component class sets the value in the view. If you have a two-way binding with [()] syntax (also known as 'banana-in-a-box syntax'), the value in the UI always syncs back to the domain model in your class.

                                                                                                                                  To inspect the properties of the associated FormControl (like the validity state), export the directive into a local template variable using ngModel as the key (ex: #myVar="ngModel"). You can then access the control using the directive's control property. However, the most commonly used properties (like valid and dirty) also exist on the control for direct access. See a full list of properties directly available in AbstractControlDirective.

                                                                                                                                    The following examples show a simple standalone control using ngModel:

                                                                                                                                    When using the ngModel within <form> tags, you'll also need to supply a name attribute so that the control can be registered with the parent form under that name.

                                                                                                                                    In the context of a parent form, it's often unnecessary to include one-way or two-way binding, as the parent form syncs the value for you. You access its properties by exporting it into a local template variable using ngForm such as (#f="ngForm"). Use the variable where needed on form submission.

                                                                                                                                    If you do need to populate initial values into your form, using a one-way binding for ngModel tends to be sufficient as long as you use the exported form's value rather than the domain model's value on submit.

                                                                                                                                    ### Using ngModel within a form

                                                                                                                                    ### Using a standalone ngModel within a group

                                                                                                                                    The following example shows you how to use a standalone ngModel control within a form. This controls the display of the form, but doesn't contain form data.

                                                                                                                                    <input name="login" ngModel placeholder="Login">
                                                                                                                                    <input type="checkbox" ngModel [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}"> Show more options?
                                                                                                                                    </form>
                                                                                                                                    <!-- form value: {login: ''} -->

                                                                                                                                    ### Setting the ngModel name attribute through options

                                                                                                                                    The following example shows you an alternate way to set the name attribute. Here, an attribute identified as name is used within a custom form control component. To still be able to specify the NgModel's name, you must specify it using the ngModelOptions input instead.

                                                                                                                                    <form>
                                                                                                                                    <my-custom-form-control name="Nancy" ngModel [ngModelOptions]="{name: 'user'}">
                                                                                                                                    </my-custom-form-control>
                                                                                                                                    </form>
                                                                                                                                    <!-- form value: {user: ''} -->

See the [example](api/forms/NgModel#using-ngmodel-on-a-standalone-control) for using NgModel as a standalone control.

                                                                                                                                      **standalone**: When set to true, the ngModel will not register itself with its parent form, and acts as if it's not in the form. Defaults to false. If no parent form exists, this option has no effect.

                                                                                                                                      **updateOn**: Defines the event upon which the form control value and validity update. Defaults to 'change'. Possible values: 'change' | 'blur' | 'submit'.

                                                                                                                                          Provide a name for the sub-group and it will become the key for the sub-group in the form's full value. If you need direct access, export the directive into a local template variable using ngModelGroup (ex: #myGroup="ngModelGroup").
