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

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()).

constructor

constructor(
    validators: ValidatorFn | ValidatorFn[],
    asyncValidators: AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidatorFn[]
);

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.

property asyncValidator

asyncValidator: AsyncValidatorFn;

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

property dirty

readonly dirty: boolean;

A control is dirty if the user has changed the value in the UI.
Returns
True if the user has changed the value of this control in the UI; compare pristine. Programmatic changes to a control's value do not mark it dirty.

property disabled

readonly disabled: boolean;

A control is disabled when its status is DISABLED.
Disabled controls are exempt from validation checks and are not included in the aggregate value of their ancestor controls.
Returns
True if the control is disabled, false otherwise.
See Also
- AbstractControl.status

property enabled

readonly enabled: boolean;

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'.
See Also
- AbstractControl.status

property errors

readonly errors: ValidationErrors;

An object containing any errors generated by failing validation, or null if there are no errors.

property invalid

readonly invalid: boolean;

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.
See Also
- AbstractControl.status

property parent

readonly parent: FormGroup<any> | FormArray<any>;

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
- AbstractControl.status

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>;

Retrieves the top-level ancestor of this control.

property status

readonly status: FormControlStatus;

The validation status of the control.
See Also
- FormControlStatus
  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>;

A multicasting observable that emits an event every time the validation status of the control recalculates.
See Also
- FormControlStatus
- AbstractControl.status

property touched

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;

A control is valid when its status is VALID.
Returns
True if the control has passed all of its validation tests, false otherwise.
See Also
- AbstractControl.status

property validator

validator: ValidatorFn;

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

readonly valueChanges: Observable<TValue>;

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.
**Note**: the emit happens right after a value of this control is updated. The value of a parent control (for example if this FormControl is a part of a FormGroup) is updated later, so accessing a value of a parent control (using the value property) from the callback of this event might result in getting a value that has not been updated yet. Subscribe to the valueChanges event of the parent control instead.

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.

method addValidators

addValidators: (validators: ValidatorFn | ValidatorFn[]) => void;

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.
See Also
- AbstractControl.status

method enable

enable: (opts?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }) => void;

class ControlContainer

abstract class ControlContainer extends AbstractControlDirective {}

A base class for directives that contain multiple registered instances of NgControl. Only used by the forms module.

property formDirective

readonly formDirective: Form;

The top-level form directive for the control.

property name

name: string | number;

The name for the control

property path

readonly path: string[];

The path to this group.

class DefaultValueAccessor

class DefaultValueAccessor
    extends BaseControlValueAccessor
    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>

class FormArray

class FormArray<TControl extends AbstractControl<any> = any> extends AbstractControl<
    ɵTypedOrUntyped<TControl, ɵFormArrayValue<TControl>, any>,
    ɵTypedOrUntyped<TControl, ɵFormArrayRawValue<TControl>, any>
> {}

Tracks the value and validity state of an array of FormControl, FormGroup or FormArray instances.
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.

constructor

constructor(
    controls: TControl[],
    validatorOrOpts?: ValidatorFn | ValidatorFn[] | AbstractControlOptions,
    asyncValidator?: AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidatorFn[]
);

Creates a new FormArray instance.
Parameter controls
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 asyncValidator
A single async validator or array of async validator functions

property controls

controls: TControl[] | AbstractControl<any, any>[];

property length

readonly length: number;

Length of the control array.

method at

at: (index: number) => ɵTypedOrUntyped<TControl, TControl, AbstractControl<any>>;

Get the AbstractControl at the given index in the array.
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;

Remove all controls in the FormArray.
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:
const arr = new FormArray([ new FormControl(), new FormControl() ]); while (arr.length) { arr.removeAt(0); }

method getRawValue

getRawValue: () => ɵFormArrayRawValue<TControl>;

The aggregate value of the array, including any disabled controls.
Reports all values regardless of disabled status.

method insert

insert: (
    index: number,
    control: TControl,
    options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Insert a new AbstractControl at the given index in the array.
Parameter index
Index in the array to insert the control. If index is negative, wraps around from the back. If index is greatly negative (less than -length), prepends to the array. This behavior is the same as Array.splice(index, 0, control).
Parameter control
Form control to be inserted
Parameter options
Specifies whether this FormArray instance should emit events after a new control is inserted. * 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 inserted. When false, no events are emitted.

method patchValue

patchValue: (
    value: ɵFormArrayValue<TControl>,
    options?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Patches the value of the FormArray. It accepts an array that matches the structure of the control, and does its best to match the values to the correct controls in the group.
It accepts both super-sets and sub-sets of the array without throwing an error.
### Patch the values for controls in a form array
const arr = new FormArray([ new FormControl(), new FormControl() ]); console.log(arr.value); // [null, null] arr.patchValue(['Nancy']); console.log(arr.value); // ['Nancy', null]
Parameter value
Array of latest values for the controls
Parameter options
Configure options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events after the value changes
* onlySelf: When true, each change only affects this control, and not its parent. 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 value is updated. When false, no events are emitted. The configuration options are passed to the method.

method push

push: (control: TControl, options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }) => void;

Insert a new AbstractControl at the end of the array.
Parameter control
Form control to be inserted
Parameter options
Specifies whether this FormArray instance should emit events after a new control is added. * 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 inserted. When false, no events are emitted.

method removeAt

removeAt: (index: number, options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }) => void;

Remove the control at the given index in the array.
Parameter index
Index in the array to remove the control. If index is negative, wraps around from the back. If index is greatly negative (less than -length), removes the first element. This behavior is the same as Array.splice(index, 1).
Parameter options
Specifies whether this FormArray instance should emit events after a control is removed. * 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 removed. When false, no events are emitted.

method reset

reset: (
    value?: ɵTypedOrUntyped<TControl, ɵFormArrayValue<TControl>, any>,
    options?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Resets the FormArray and all descendants are marked pristine and untouched, and the value of all descendants to null or null maps.
You reset to a specific form state by passing in an array of states that matches the structure of the control. The state is a standalone value or a form state object with both a value and a disabled status.
### Reset the values in a form array
const arr = new FormArray([ new FormControl(), new FormControl() ]); arr.reset(['name', 'last name']); console.log(arr.value); // ['name', 'last name']
### Reset the values in a form array and the disabled status for the first control
arr.reset([ {value: 'name', disabled: true}, 'last' ]); console.log(arr.value); // ['last'] console.log(arr.at(0).status); // 'DISABLED'
Parameter value
Array of values for the controls
Parameter options
Configure options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events after the value changes
* onlySelf: When true, each change only affects this control, and not its parent. 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 reset. When false, no events are emitted. The configuration options are passed to the method.

method setControl

setControl: (
    index: number,
    control: TControl,
    options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Replace an existing control.
Parameter index
Index in the array to replace the control. If index is negative, wraps around from the back. If index is greatly negative (less than -length), replaces the first element. This behavior is the same as Array.splice(index, 1, control).
Parameter control
The AbstractControl control to replace the existing control
Parameter options
Specifies whether this FormArray instance should emit events after an existing control is replaced with a new one. * 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 replaced with a new one. When false, no events are emitted.

method setValue

setValue: (
    value: ɵFormArrayRawValue<TControl>,
    options?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Sets the value of the FormArray. It accepts an array that matches the structure of the control.
This method performs strict checks, and throws an error if you try to set the value of a control that doesn't exist or if you exclude the value of a control.
### Set the values for the controls in the form array
const arr = new FormArray([ new FormControl(), new FormControl() ]); console.log(arr.value); // [null, null] arr.setValue(['Nancy', 'Drew']); console.log(arr.value); // ['Nancy', 'Drew']
Parameter value
Array of values for the controls
Parameter options
Configure options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events after the value changes
* onlySelf: When true, each change only affects this control, and not its parent. 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 value is updated. When false, no events are emitted. The configuration options are passed to the method.

class FormArrayName

class FormArrayName extends ControlContainer implements OnInit, OnDestroy {}

Syncs a nested FormArray to a DOM element.
This directive is designed to be used with a parent FormGroupDirective (selector: [formGroup]).
It accepts the string name of the nested FormArray you want to link, and will look for a FormArray registered with that name in the parent FormGroup instance you passed into FormGroupDirective.

  ### 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

static ɵdir: i0.ɵɵDirectiveDeclaration<
    FormArrayName,
    '[formArrayName]',
    never,

        { optional: true; host: true; skipSelf: true },
        { optional: true; self: true },
        { optional: true; self: true }
    ]
>;

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 ngOnDestroy

ngOnDestroy: () => void;

A lifecycle method called before the directive's instance is destroyed. For internal use only.

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.
See Also
- [Reactive Forms Guide](guide/reactive-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.

        | AbstractControlOptions
        | null,
    asyncValidator?: AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidatorFn[] | null
) => FormArray<ɵElement<T, null>>;

Constructs a new FormArray from the given array of configurations, validators and options. Accepts a single generic argument, which is the type of each control inside the array.
Parameter controls
An array of child controls or control configs. Each child control is given an index when 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 asyncValidator
A single async validator or array of async validator functions.

method control

control: {
    <T>(
        formState: T | FormControlState<T>,
        opts: FormControlOptions & { initialValueIsDefault: true }
    ): FormControl<T>;
    <T>(
        formState: T | FormControlState<T>,
        opts: FormControlOptions & { nonNullable: true }
    ): FormControl<T>;
    <T>(
        formState: T | FormControlState<T>,

        validatorOrOpts?: ValidatorFn | ValidatorFn[] | FormControlOptions,
        asyncValidator?: AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidatorFn[]
    ): FormControl<T>;
};

Deprecated
Use nonNullable instead.
Deprecated
When passing an options argument, the asyncValidator argument has no effect.

method group

group: {
    <T extends {}>(
        controls: T,
        options?: AbstractControlOptions | null
    ): FormGroup<{ [K in keyof T]: ɵElement<T[K], null> }>;
    (
        controls: { [key: string]: any },
        options: { [key: string]: any }
    ): FormGroup<any>;
};

Constructs a new FormGroup instance. Accepts a single generic argument, which is an object containing all the keys and corresponding inner control types.
Parameter controls
A collection of child controls. The key for each child is the name under which it is registered.
Parameter options
Configuration options object for the FormGroup. The object should have the AbstractControlOptions type and might contain the following fields: * validators: A synchronous validator function, or an array of validator functions. * asyncValidators: A single async validator or array of async validator functions. * updateOn: The event upon which the control should be updated (options: 'change' | 'blur' | submit').
Constructs a new FormGroup instance.
Parameter controls
A record of child controls. The key for each child is the name under which the control is registered.
Parameter options
Configuration options object for the FormGroup. The legacy configuration object consists of: * validator: A synchronous validator function, or an array of validator functions. * asyncValidator: A single async validator or array of async validator functions Note: the legacy format is deprecated and might be removed in one of the next major versions of Angular.
Deprecated
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`.

method record

record: <T>(
    controls: { [key: string]: T },
    options?: AbstractControlOptions | null
) => FormRecord<ɵElement<T, null>>;

Constructs a new FormRecord instance. Accepts a single generic argument, which is an object containing all the keys and corresponding inner control types.
Parameter controls
A collection of child controls. The key for each child is the name under which it is registered.
Parameter options
Configuration options object for the FormRecord. The object should have the AbstractControlOptions type and might contain the following fields: * validators: A synchronous validator function, or an array of validator functions. * asyncValidators: A single async validator or array of async validator functions. * updateOn: The event upon which the control should be updated (options: 'change' | 'blur' | submit').

    ɵTypedOrUntyped<TControl, ɵFormGroupValue<TControl>, any>,
    ɵTypedOrUntyped<TControl, ɵFormGroupRawValue<TControl>, any>
> {}

Tracks the value and validity state of a group of FormControl instances.
A FormGroup aggregates the values of each child FormControl into one object, with each control name as the key. 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
const form = new FormGroup({ first: new FormControl('Nancy', Validators.minLength(2)), last: new FormControl('Drew'), }); console.log(form.value); // {first: 'Nancy', last; 'Drew'} console.log(form.status); // 'VALID'
### The type argument, and optional controls
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
A collection of child controls. The key for each child is the name under which 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 asyncValidator
A single async validator or array of async validator functions

property controls

controls:
    | { [K in keyof TControl]: AbstractControl<any, any> }
    | { [key: string]: AbstractControl<any, any> };

method addControl

addControl: {
    (
        this: FormGroup<{ [key: string]: AbstractControl<any, any> }>,
        name: string,
        control: AbstractControl,
        options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }
    ): void;
    <K extends string & keyof TControl>(
        name: K,
        control: Required<TControl>[K],
        options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }
    ): void;
};

Add a control to this group. In a strongly-typed group, the control must be in the group's type (possibly as an optional key).
If a control with a given name already exists, it would *not* be replaced with a new one. If you want to replace an existing control, use the method instead. This method also updates the value and validity of the control.
Parameter name
The control name to add to the collection
Parameter control
Provides the control for the given name
Parameter options
Specifies whether this FormGroup instance should emit events after a new control is added. * 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 added. When false, no events are emitted.

method contains

contains: {
    <K extends string>(controlName: K): boolean;
    (
        this: FormGroup<{ [key: string]: AbstractControl<any, any> }>,
        controlName: string
    ): boolean;
};

Check whether there is an enabled control with the given name in the group.
Reports false for disabled controls. If you'd like to check for existence in the group only, use instead.
Parameter controlName

Returns
false for disabled controls, true otherwise.

method getRawValue

getRawValue: () => ɵTypedOrUntyped<TControl, ɵFormGroupRawValue<TControl>, any>;

Retrieves all values regardless of disabled status.

method patchValue

patchValue: (
    value: ɵFormGroupValue<TControl>,
    options?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Patches the value of the FormGroup. It accepts an object with control names as keys, and does its best to match the values to the correct controls in the group.
It accepts both super-sets and sub-sets of the group without throwing an error.
### Patch the value for a form group
const form = new FormGroup({ first: new FormControl(), last: new FormControl() }); console.log(form.value); // {first: null, last: null} form.patchValue({first: 'Nancy'}); console.log(form.value); // {first: 'Nancy', last: null}
Parameter value
The object that matches the structure of the group.
Parameter options
Configuration options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events after the value is patched. * onlySelf: When true, each change only affects this control and not its parent. Default is true. * 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 value is updated. When false, no events are emitted. The configuration options are passed to the method.

method registerControl

registerControl: {
    <K extends string & keyof TControl>(
        name: K,
        control: TControl[K]
    ): TControl[K];
    (
        this: FormGroup<{ [key: string]: AbstractControl<any, any> }>,
        name: string,
        control: AbstractControl<any, any>
    ): AbstractControl<any, any>;
};

Registers a control with the group's list of controls. In a strongly-typed group, the control must be in the group's type (possibly as an optional key).
This method does not update the value or validity of the control. Use instead.
Parameter name
The control name to register in the collection
Parameter control
Provides the control for the given name

method removeControl

removeControl: {
    (
        this: FormGroup<{ [key: string]: AbstractControl<any, any> }>,
        name: string,
        options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }
    ): void;
    <S extends string>(
        name: ɵOptionalKeys<TControl> & S,
        options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }
    ): void;
};

method reset

reset: (
    value?: ɵTypedOrUntyped<TControl, ɵFormGroupValue<TControl>, any>,
    options?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Resets the FormGroup, marks all descendants pristine and untouched and sets the value of all descendants to their default values, or null if no defaults were provided.
You reset to a specific form state by passing in a map of states that matches the structure of your form, with control names as keys. The state is a standalone value or a form state object with both a value and a disabled status.
Parameter value
Resets the control with an initial value, or an object that defines the initial value and disabled state.
Parameter options
Configuration options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events when the group is reset. * onlySelf: When true, each change only affects this control, and not its parent. 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 reset. When false, no events are emitted. The configuration options are passed to the method.
### Reset the form group values
const form = new FormGroup({ first: new FormControl('first name'), last: new FormControl('last name') }); console.log(form.value); // {first: 'first name', last: 'last name'} form.reset({ first: 'name', last: 'last name' }); console.log(form.value); // {first: 'name', last: 'last name'}
### Reset the form group values and disabled status
const form = new FormGroup({ first: new FormControl('first name'), last: new FormControl('last name') }); form.reset({ first: {value: 'name', disabled: true}, last: 'last' }); console.log(form.value); // {last: 'last'} console.log(form.get('first').status); // 'DISABLED'

method setControl

setControl: {
    <K extends string & keyof TControl>(
        name: K,
        control: TControl[K],
        options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }
    ): void;
    (
        this: FormGroup<{ [key: string]: AbstractControl<any, any> }>,
        name: string,
        control: AbstractControl<any, any>,
        options?: { emitEvent?: boolean }
    ): void;
};

Replace an existing control. In a strongly-typed group, the control must be in the group's type (possibly as an optional key).
If a control with a given name does not exist in this FormGroup, it will be added.
Parameter name
The control name to replace in the collection
Parameter control
Provides the control for the given name
Parameter options
Specifies whether this FormGroup instance should emit events after an existing control is replaced. * 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 replaced with a new one. When false, no events are emitted.

method setValue

setValue: (
    value: ɵFormGroupRawValue<TControl>,
    options?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Sets the value of the FormGroup. It accepts an object that matches the structure of the group, with control names as keys.
### Set the complete value for the form group
const form = new FormGroup({ first: new FormControl(), last: new FormControl() }); console.log(form.value); // {first: null, last: null} form.setValue({first: 'Nancy', last: 'Drew'}); console.log(form.value); // {first: 'Nancy', last: 'Drew'}
Parameter value
The new value for the control that matches the structure of the group.
Parameter options
Configuration options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events after the value changes. The configuration options are passed to the method.
* onlySelf: When true, each change only affects this control, and not its parent. 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 value is updated. When false, no events are emitted.
Throws
When strict checks fail, such as setting the value of a control that doesn't exist or if you exclude a value of a control that does exist.

class FormGroupDirective

class FormGroupDirective
    extends ControlContainer
    implements Form, OnChanges, OnDestroy {}

  ### Access the group by name
  The following example uses the AbstractControl.get method to access the associated FormGroup
  this.form.get('name');
  ### Access individual controls in the group
  The following example uses the AbstractControl.get method to access individual controls within the group using dot syntax.
  this.form.get('name.first');
  ### Register a nested FormGroup.
  The following example registers a nested *name* FormGroup within an existing FormGroup, and provides methods to retrieve the nested FormGroup and individual controls.
  ReactiveFormsModule

constructor

    asyncValidators: (AsyncValidatorFn | AsyncValidator)[]
);

property name

name: string | number;

Tracks the name of the FormGroup 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 groups to be bound to indices when iterating over groups in a FormArray.

class FormRecord

class FormRecord<
    TControl extends AbstractControl = AbstractControl
> extends FormGroup<{
    [key: string]: TControl;
}> {}

Tracks the value and validity state of a collection of FormControl instances, each of which has the same value type.
FormRecord is very similar to FormGroup, except it can be used with a dynamic keys, with controls added and removed as needed.
FormRecord accepts one generic argument, which describes the type of the controls it contains.
let numbers = new FormRecord({bill: new FormControl('415-123-456')}); numbers.addControl('bob', new FormControl('415-234-567')); numbers.removeControl('bill');

class NgForm

class NgForm extends ControlContainer implements Form, AfterViewInit {}

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>  </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>

class NgModel

class NgModel extends NgControl implements OnChanges, OnDestroy {}

Creates a FormControl instance from a [domain model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_model) and binds it to a form control element.
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.

  ### Using ngModel on a standalone control
  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
  The following example shows controls 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.
  <form> <input name="login" ngModel placeholder="Login"> <input type="checkbox" ngModel [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}"> Show more options? </form> 
  ### 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>

class SelectControlValueAccessor

class SelectControlValueAccessor
    extends BuiltInControlValueAccessor
    implements ControlValueAccessor {}

The ControlValueAccessor for writing select control values and listening to select control changes. The value accessor is used by the FormControlDirective, FormControlName, and NgModel directives.
### Using select controls in a reactive form
The following examples show how to use a select control in a reactive form.
### Using select controls in a template-driven form
To use a select in a template-driven form, simply add an ngModel and a name attribute to the main <select> tag.
### Customizing option selection
Angular uses object identity to select option. It's possible for the identities of items to change while the data does not. This can happen, for example, if the items are produced from an RPC to the server, and that RPC is re-run. Even if the data hasn't changed, the second response will produce objects with different identities.
To customize the default option comparison algorithm, <select> supports compareWith input. compareWith takes a **function** which has two arguments: option1 and option2. If compareWith is given, Angular selects option by the return value of the function.
const selectedCountriesControl = new FormControl();
<select [compareWith]="compareFn" [formControl]="selectedCountriesControl"> <option *ngFor="let country of countries" [ngValue]="country"> {{country.name}} </option> </select> compareFn(c1: Country, c2: Country): boolean { return c1 && c2 ? c1.id === c2.id : c1 === c2; }
**Note:** We listen to the 'change' event because 'input' events aren't fired for selects in IE, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/input_event#browser_compatibility

class Validators

class Validators {}

Provides a set of built-in validators that can be used by form controls.
A validator is a function that processes a FormControl or collection of controls and returns an error map or null. A null map means that validation has passed.
See Also
- [Form Validation](/guide/form-validation)

method compose

static compose: {
    (validators: null): null;
    (validators: ValidatorFn[]): ValidatorFn;
};

Compose multiple validators into a single function that returns the union of the individual error maps for the provided control.
Returns
A validator function that returns an error map with the merged error maps of the validators if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method composeAsync

static composeAsync: (
    validators: (AsyncValidatorFn | null)[]
) => AsyncValidatorFn | null;

Compose multiple async validators into a single function that returns the union of the individual error objects for the provided control.
Returns
A validator function that returns an error map with the merged error objects of the async validators if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method email

static email: (control: AbstractControl) => ValidationErrors | null;

Validator that requires the control's value pass an email validation test.
Tests the value using a [regular expression](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions) pattern suitable for common use cases. The pattern is based on the definition of a valid email address in the [WHATWG HTML specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#valid-e-mail-address) with some enhancements to incorporate more RFC rules (such as rules related to domain names and the lengths of different parts of the address).
The differences from the WHATWG version include: - Disallow local-part (the part before the @ symbol) to begin or end with a period (.). - Disallow local-part to be longer than 64 characters. - Disallow the whole address to be longer than 254 characters.
If this pattern does not satisfy your business needs, you can use Validators.pattern() to validate the value against a different pattern.
### Validate that the field matches a valid email pattern
const control = new FormControl('bad@', Validators.email); console.log(control.errors); // {email: true}
Returns
An error map with the email property if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method max

static max: (max: number) => ValidatorFn;

Validator that requires the control's value to be less than or equal to the provided number.
### Validate against a maximum of 15
const control = new FormControl(16, Validators.max(15)); console.log(control.errors); // {max: {max: 15, actual: 16}}
Returns
A validator function that returns an error map with the max property if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method maxLength

static maxLength: (maxLength: number) => ValidatorFn;

Validator that requires the length of the control's value to be less than or equal to the provided maximum length. This validator is also provided by default if you use the the HTML5 maxlength attribute. Note that the maxLength validator is intended to be used only for types that have a numeric length property, such as strings or arrays.
### Validate that the field has maximum of 5 characters
const control = new FormControl('Angular', Validators.maxLength(5)); console.log(control.errors); // {maxlength: {requiredLength: 5, actualLength: 7}}
<input maxlength="5">
Returns
A validator function that returns an error map with the maxlength property if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method min

static min: (min: number) => ValidatorFn;

Validator that requires the control's value to be greater than or equal to the provided number.
### Validate against a minimum of 3
const control = new FormControl(2, Validators.min(3)); console.log(control.errors); // {min: {min: 3, actual: 2}}
Returns
A validator function that returns an error map with the min property if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method minLength

static minLength: (minLength: number) => ValidatorFn;

Validator that requires the length of the control's value to be greater than or equal to the provided minimum length. This validator is also provided by default if you use the the HTML5 minlength attribute. Note that the minLength validator is intended to be used only for types that have a numeric length property, such as strings or arrays. The minLength validator logic is also not invoked for values when their length property is 0 (for example in case of an empty string or an empty array), to support optional controls. You can use the standard required validator if empty values should not be considered valid.
### Validate that the field has a minimum of 3 characters
const control = new FormControl('ng', Validators.minLength(3)); console.log(control.errors); // {minlength: {requiredLength: 3, actualLength: 2}}
<input minlength="5">
Returns
A validator function that returns an error map with the minlength property if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method nullValidator

static nullValidator: (control: AbstractControl) => ValidationErrors | null;

Validator that performs no operation.
See Also

method pattern

static pattern: (pattern: string | RegExp) => ValidatorFn;

Validator that requires the control's value to match a regex pattern. This validator is also provided by default if you use the HTML5 pattern attribute.
### Validate that the field only contains letters or spaces
const control = new FormControl('1', Validators.pattern('[a-zA-Z ]*')); console.log(control.errors); // {pattern: {requiredPattern: '^[a-zA-Z ]*$', actualValue: '1'}}
<input pattern="[a-zA-Z ]*">
### Pattern matching with the global or sticky flag
RegExp objects created with the g or y flags that are passed into Validators.pattern can produce different results on the same input when validations are run consecutively. This is due to how the behavior of RegExp.prototype.test is specified in [ECMA-262](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-regexpbuiltinexec) (RegExp preserves the index of the last match when the global or sticky flag is used). Due to this behavior, it is recommended that when using Validators.pattern you **do not** pass in a RegExp object with either the global or sticky flag enabled.
// Not recommended (since the `g` flag is used) const controlOne = new FormControl('1', Validators.pattern(/foo/g)); // Good const controlTwo = new FormControl('1', Validators.pattern(/foo/));
Parameter pattern
A regular expression to be used as is to test the values, or a string. If a string is passed, the ^ character is prepended and the $ character is appended to the provided string (if not already present), and the resulting regular expression is used to test the values.
Returns
A validator function that returns an error map with the pattern property if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method required

static required: (control: AbstractControl) => ValidationErrors | null;

Validator that requires the control have a non-empty value.
### Validate that the field is non-empty
const control = new FormControl('', Validators.required); console.log(control.errors); // {required: true}
Returns
An error map with the required property if the validation check fails, otherwise null.
See Also

method requiredTrue

static requiredTrue: (control: AbstractControl) => ValidationErrors | null;

Validator that requires the control's value be true. This validator is commonly used for required checkboxes.
### Validate that the field value is true
const control = new FormControl('some value', Validators.requiredTrue); console.log(control.errors); // {required: true}
Returns
An error map that contains the required property set to true if the validation check fails, otherwise null.

interface ControlValueAccessor

interface ControlValueAccessor {}

Defines an interface that acts as a bridge between the Angular forms API and a native element in the DOM.
Implement this interface to create a custom form control directive that integrates with Angular forms.
See Also
- DefaultValueAccessor

method registerOnChange

registerOnChange: (fn: any) => void;

Registers a callback function that is called when the control's value changes in the UI.
This method is called by the forms API on initialization to update the form model when values propagate from the view to the model.
When implementing the registerOnChange method in your own value accessor, save the given function so your class calls it at the appropriate time.
### Store the change function
The following example stores the provided function as an internal method.
registerOnChange(fn: (_: any) => void): void { this._onChange = fn; }
When the value changes in the UI, call the registered function to allow the forms API to update itself:
host: { '(change)': '_onChange($event.target.value)' }
Parameter fn
The callback function to register

method registerOnTouched

registerOnTouched: (fn: any) => void;

Registers a callback function that is called by the forms API on initialization to update the form model on blur.
When implementing registerOnTouched in your own value accessor, save the given function so your class calls it when the control should be considered blurred or "touched".
### Store the callback function
The following example stores the provided function as an internal method.
registerOnTouched(fn: any): void { this._onTouched = fn; }
On blur (or equivalent), your class should call the registered function to allow the forms API to update itself:
host: { '(blur)': '_onTouched()' }
Parameter fn
The callback function to register

method setDisabledState

setDisabledState: (isDisabled: boolean) => void;

Function that is called by the forms API when the control status changes to or from 'DISABLED'. Depending on the status, it enables or disables the appropriate DOM element.

method updateModel

updateModel: (dir: NgControl, value: any) => void;

Update the model for a particular control with a new value.
Parameter dir
: The control directive to update.
Parameter value

interface FormControl

interface FormControl<TValue = any> extends AbstractControl<TValue> {}

Tracks the value and validation status of an individual form control.
This is one of the four fundamental building blocks of Angular forms, along with FormGroup, FormArray and FormRecord. It extends the AbstractControl class that implements most of the base functionality for accessing the value, validation status, user interactions and events.
FormControl takes a single generic argument, which describes the type of its value. This argument always implicitly includes null because the control can be reset. To change this behavior, set nonNullable or see the usage notes below.
See [usage examples below](#usage-notes).
See Also
- AbstractControl
- [Reactive Forms Guide](guide/reactive-forms)
- [Usage Notes](#usage-notes)
  ɵFormControlCtor
  ### Initializing Form Controls
  Instantiate a FormControl, with an initial value.
  const control = new FormControl('some value'); console.log(control.value); // 'some value'
  The following example initializes the control with a form state object. The value and disabled keys are required in this case.
  const control = new FormControl({ value: 'n/a', disabled: true }); console.log(control.value); // 'n/a' console.log(control.status); // 'DISABLED'
  The following example initializes the control with a synchronous validator.
  const control = new FormControl('', Validators.required); console.log(control.value); // '' console.log(control.status); // 'INVALID'
  The following example initializes the control using an options object.
  const control = new FormControl('', { validators: Validators.required, asyncValidators: myAsyncValidator });
  ### The single type argument
  FormControl accepts a generic argument, which describes the type of its value. In most cases, this argument will be inferred.
  If you are initializing the control to null, or you otherwise wish to provide a wider type, you may specify the argument explicitly:
  let fc = new FormControl<string|null>(null); fc.setValue('foo');
  You might notice that null is always added to the type of the control. This is because the control will become null if you call reset. You can change this behavior by setting {nonNullable: true}.
  ### Configure the control to update on a blur event
  Set the updateOn option to 'blur' to update on the blur event.
  const control = new FormControl('', { updateOn: 'blur' });
  ### Configure the control to update on a submit event
  Set the updateOn option to 'submit' to update on a submit event.
  const control = new FormControl('', { updateOn: 'submit' });
  ### Reset the control back to a specific value
  You reset to a specific form state by passing through a standalone value or a form state object that contains both a value and a disabled state (these are the only two properties that cannot be calculated).
  const control = new FormControl('Nancy'); console.log(control.value); // 'Nancy' control.reset('Drew'); console.log(control.value); // 'Drew'
  ### Reset the control to its initial value
  If you wish to always reset the control to its initial value (instead of null), you can pass the nonNullable option:
  const control = new FormControl('Nancy', {nonNullable: true}); console.log(control.value); // 'Nancy' control.reset(); console.log(control.value); // 'Nancy'
  ### Reset the control back to an initial value and disabled
  const control = new FormControl('Nancy'); console.log(control.value); // 'Nancy' console.log(control.status); // 'VALID' control.reset({ value: 'Drew', disabled: true }); console.log(control.value); // 'Drew' console.log(control.status); // 'DISABLED'

property defaultValue

readonly defaultValue: TValue;

The default value of this FormControl, used whenever the control is reset without an explicit value. See FormControlOptions#nonNullable for more information on configuring a default value.

method getRawValue

        emitModelToViewChange?: boolean;
        emitViewToModelChange?: boolean;
    }
) => void;

Patches the value of a control.
This function is functionally the same as at this level. It exists for symmetry with on FormGroups and FormArrays, where it does behave differently.

- FormControl#setValue for options

method registerOnChange

registerOnChange: (fn: Function) => void;

method registerOnDisabledChange

registerOnDisabledChange: (fn: (isDisabled: boolean) => void) => void;

method reset

reset: (
    formState?: TValue | FormControlState<TValue>,
    options?: { onlySelf?: boolean; emitEvent?: boolean }
) => void;

Resets the form control, marking it pristine and untouched, and resetting the value. The new value will be the provided value (if passed), null, or the initial value if nonNullable was set in the constructor via FormControlOptions.
// By default, the control will reset to null. const dog = new FormControl('spot'); dog.reset(); // dog.value is null // If this flag is set, the control will instead reset to the initial value. const cat = new FormControl('tabby', {nonNullable: true}); cat.reset(); // cat.value is "tabby" // A value passed to reset always takes precedence. const fish = new FormControl('finn', {nonNullable: true}); fish.reset('bubble'); // fish.value is "bubble"
Parameter formState
Resets the control with an initial value, or an object that defines the initial value and disabled state.
Parameter options
Configuration options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events after the value changes.
* onlySelf: When true, each change only affects this control, and not its parent. 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 reset. When false, no events are emitted.

method setValue

setValue: (
    value: TValue,
    options?: {
        onlySelf?: boolean;
        emitEvent?: boolean;
        emitModelToViewChange?: boolean;
        emitViewToModelChange?: boolean;
    }
) => void;

Sets a new value for the form control.
Parameter value
The new value for the control.
Parameter options
Configuration options that determine how the control propagates changes and emits events when the value changes. The configuration options are passed to the method.
* onlySelf: When true, each change only affects this control, and not its parent. 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 value is updated. When false, no events are emitted. * emitModelToViewChange: When true or not supplied (the default), each change triggers an onChange event to update the view. * emitViewToModelChange: When true or not supplied (the default), each change triggers an ngModelChange event to update the model.

### Provide a custom validator

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

@Directive({
  selector: '[customValidator]',
  providers: [{provide: NG_VALIDATORS, useExisting: CustomValidatorDirective, multi: true}]
})
class CustomValidatorDirective implements Validator {
  validate(control: AbstractControl): ValidationErrors|null {
    return {'custom': true};
  }
}

method registerOnValidatorChange

registerOnValidatorChange: (fn: () => void) => void;

Registers a callback function to call when the validator inputs change.

* **VALID**: Reports that a control is valid, meaning that no errors exist in the input value. * **INVALID**: Reports that a control is invalid, meaning that an error exists in the input value. * **PENDING**: Reports that a control is pending, meaning that async validation is occurring and errors are not yet available for the input value. * **DISABLED**: Reports that a control is disabled, meaning that the control is exempt from ancestor calculations of validity or value.

type ɵCoerceStrArrToNumArr

type ɵCoerceStrArrToNumArr<S> = S extends [infer Head, ...infer Tail]
    ? Head extends `${number}`
        ? [number, ...ɵCoerceStrArrToNumArr<Tail>]
        : [Head, ...ɵCoerceStrArrToNumArr<Tail>]
    : [];

CoerceStrArrToNumArr accepts an array of strings, and converts any numeric string to a number.

type ɵElement

type ɵElement<T, N extends null> = [T] extends [FormControl<infer U>]
    ? FormControl<U>
    : [T] extends [FormControl<infer U> | undefined]
    ? FormControl<U>
    : [T] extends [FormGroup<infer U>]
    ? FormGroup<U>
    : [T] extends [FormGroup<infer U> | undefined]
    ? FormGroup<U>
    : [T] extends [FormRecord<infer U>]
    ? FormRecord<U>
    : [T] extends [FormRecord<infer U> | undefined]
    ? FormRecord<U>
    : [T] extends [FormArray<infer U>]
    ? FormArray<U>
    : [T] extends [FormArray<infer U> | undefined]
    ? FormArray<U>
    : [T] extends [AbstractControl<infer U>]
    ? AbstractControl<U>
    : [T] extends [AbstractControl<infer U> | undefined]
    ? AbstractControl<U>
    : [T] extends [FormControlState<infer U>]
    ? FormControl<U | N>
    : [T] extends [PermissiveControlConfig<infer U>]
    ? FormControl<Exclude<U, ValidatorConfig | PermissiveAbstractControlOptions> | N>
    : FormControl<T | N>;

FormBuilder accepts values in various container shapes, as well as raw values. Element returns the appropriate corresponding model class, given the container T. The flag N, if not never, makes the resulting FormControl have N in its type.

type ɵFormArrayRawValue

type ɵFormArrayRawValue<T extends AbstractControl<any>> = ɵTypedOrUntyped<
    T,
    Array<ɵRawValue<T>>,
    any[]
>;

FormArrayRawValue extracts the type of .getRawValue() from a FormArray's element type, and wraps it in an array. The untyped case falls back to any[].
Angular uses this type internally to support Typed Forms; do not use it directly.

type ɵFormArrayValue

type ɵFormArrayValue<T extends AbstractControl<any>> = ɵTypedOrUntyped<
    T,
    Array<ɵValue<T>>,
    any[]
>;

FormArrayValue extracts the type of .value from a FormArray's element type, and wraps it in an array.
Angular uses this type internally to support Typed Forms; do not use it directly. The untyped case falls back to any[].

type ɵFormGroupRawValue

type ɵFormGroupRawValue<
    T extends {
        [K in keyof T]?: AbstractControl<any>;
    }
> = ɵTypedOrUntyped<
    T,
    {
        [K in keyof T]: ɵRawValue<T[K]>;
    },
    {
        [key: string]: any;
    }
>;

FormGroupRawValue extracts the type of .getRawValue() from a FormGroup's inner object type. The untyped case falls back to {[key: string]: any}.
Angular uses this type internally to support Typed Forms; do not use it directly.
For internal use only.

type ɵFormGroupValue

type ɵFormGroupValue<
    T extends {
        [K in keyof T]?: AbstractControl<any>;
    }
> = ɵTypedOrUntyped<
    T,
    Partial<{
        [K in keyof T]: ɵValue<T[K]>;
    }>,
    {
        [key: string]: any;
    }
>;

FormGroupValue extracts the type of .value from a FormGroup's inner object type. The untyped case falls back to {[key: string]: any}.
Angular uses this type internally to support Typed Forms; do not use it directly.
For internal use only.

type ɵGetProperty

type ɵGetProperty<T, K> = K extends string
    ? ɵGetProperty<T, ɵCoerceStrArrToNumArr<ɵTokenize<K, '.'>>>
    : ɵWriteable<K> extends Array<string | number>
    ? ɵNavigate<T, ɵWriteable<K>>
    : any;

GetProperty takes a type T and some property names or indices K. If K is a dot-separated string, it is tokenized into an array before proceeding. Then, the type of the nested property at K is computed: T[K[0]][K[1]][K[2]]... This works with both objects, which are indexed by property name, and arrays, which are indexed numerically.
For internal use only.

type ɵNavigate

type ɵNavigate<T, K extends Array<string | number>> = T extends object
    ? K extends [infer Head, ...infer Tail]
        ? Head extends keyof T
            ? Tail extends (string | number)[]
                ? [] extends Tail
                    ? T[Head]
                    : ɵNavigate<T[Head], Tail>
                : any
            : never
        : any
    : any;

Navigate takes a type T and an array K, and returns the type of T[K[0]][K[1]][K[2]]...

type ɵOptionalKeys

type ɵOptionalKeys<T> = {
    [K in keyof T]-?: undefined extends T[K] ? K : never;
}[keyof T];

OptionalKeys returns the union of all optional keys in the object.
Angular uses this type internally to support Typed Forms; do not use it directly.

type ɵRawValue

type ɵRawValue<T extends AbstractControl | undefined> = T extends AbstractControl<
    any,
    any
>
    ? T['setValue'] extends (v: infer R) => void
        ? R
        : never
    : never;

RawValue gives the raw value type corresponding to a control type.
Note that the resulting type will follow the same rules as .getRawValue() on your control, group, or array. This means that all controls inside a group will be required, not optional, regardless of their disabled state.
You may also wish to use , which will have undefined in group keys (which can be disabled).
### FormGroup raw value type
Imagine you have an interface defining the controls in your group. You can extract the shape of the raw values as follows:
interface PartyFormControls { address: FormControl<string>; } // RawValue operates on controls; the object must be wrapped in a FormGroup. type PartyFormValues = RawValue<FormGroup<PartyFormControls>>;
The resulting type is {address: string}. (Note the absence of undefined.)
**Internal: not for public use.**

type ɵTokenize

type ɵTokenize<S extends string, D extends string> = string extends S
    ? string[]
    : S extends `${infer T}${D}${infer U}`
    ? [T, ...ɵTokenize<U, D>]
    : [S];

Tokenize splits a string literal S by a delimiter D.

type ɵTypedOrUntyped

type ɵTypedOrUntyped<T, Typed, Untyped> = ɵIsAny<T, Untyped, Typed>;

TypedOrUntyped allows one of two different types to be selected, depending on whether the Forms class it's applied to is typed or not.
This is for internal Angular usage to support typed forms; do not directly use it.

type ɵValue

type ɵValue<T extends AbstractControl | undefined> = T extends AbstractControl<
    any,
    any
>
    ? T['value']
    : never;

Value gives the value type corresponding to a control type.
Note that the resulting type will follow the same rules as .value on your control, group, or array, including undefined for each group element which might be disabled.
If you are trying to extract a value type for a data model, you probably want RawValue, which will not have undefined in group keys.
### FormControl value type
You can extract the value type of a single control:
type NameControl = FormControl<string>; type NameValue = Value<NameControl>;
The resulting type is string.
### FormGroup value type
Imagine you have an interface defining the controls in your group. You can extract the shape of the values as follows:
interface PartyFormControls { address: FormControl<string>; } // Value operates on controls; the object must be wrapped in a FormGroup. type PartyFormValues = Value<FormGroup<PartyFormControls>>;
The resulting type is {address: string|undefined}.
### FormArray value type
You can extract values from FormArrays as well:
type GuestNamesControls = FormArray<FormControl<string>>; type NamesValues = Value<GuestNamesControls>;
The resulting type is string[].
**Internal: not for public use.**

type ɵWriteable

type ɵWriteable<T> = {
    -readonly [P in keyof T]: T[P];
};

ɵWriteable removes readonly from all keys.

type SetDisabledStateOption

type SetDisabledStateOption = 'whenDisabledForLegacyCode' | 'always';

The type for CALL_SET_DISABLED_STATE. If always, then ControlValueAccessor will always call setDisabledState when attached, which is the most correct behavior. Otherwise, it will only be called when disabled, which is the legacy behavior for compatibility.

UntypedFormArray is a non-strongly-typed version of FormArray, which permits heterogenous controls.

type UntypedFormControl

class NgModel

class NgModel extends NgControl implements OnChanges, OnDestroy {}

Creates a FormControl instance from a [domain model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_model) and binds it to a form control element.
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.

  ### Using ngModel on a standalone control
  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
  The following example shows controls 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.
  <form> <input name="login" ngModel placeholder="Login"> <input type="checkbox" ngModel [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}"> Show more options? </form> 
  ### 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>

class SelectControlValueAccessor

class SelectControlValueAccessor
    extends BuiltInControlValueAccessor
    implements ControlValueAccessor {}

The ControlValueAccessor for writing select control values and listening to select control changes. The value accessor is used by the FormControlDirective, FormControlName, and NgModel directives.
### Using select controls in a reactive form
The following examples show how to use a select control in a reactive form.
### Using select controls in a template-driven form
To use a select in a template-driven form, simply add an ngModel and a name attribute to the main <select> tag.
### Customizing option selection
Angular uses object identity to select option. It's possible for the identities of items to change while the data does not. This can happen, for example, if the items are produced from an RPC to the server, and that RPC is re-run. Even if the data hasn't changed, the second response will produce objects with different identities.
To customize the default option comparison algorithm, <select> supports compareWith input. compareWith takes a **function** which has two arguments: option1 and option2. If compareWith is given, Angular selects option by the return value of the function.
const selectedCountriesControl = new FormControl();
<select [compareWith]="compareFn" [formControl]="selectedCountriesControl"> <option *ngFor="let country of countries" [ngValue]="country"> {{country.name}} </option> </select> compareFn(c1: Country, c2: Country): boolean { return c1 && c2 ? c1.id === c2.id : c1 === c2; }
**Note:** We listen to the 'change' event because 'input' events aren't fired for selects in IE, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/input_event#browser_compatibility

class NgModelGroup

class NgModelGroup extends AbstractFormGroupDirective implements OnInit, OnDestroy {}

Creates and binds a FormGroup instance to a DOM element.
This directive can only be used as a child of NgForm (within <form> tags).
Use this directive to validate a sub-group of your form separately from the rest of your form, or if some values in your domain model make more sense to consume together in a nested object.
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").
### Consuming controls in a grouping
The following example shows you how to combine controls together in a sub-group of the form.

namespace i3_2

namespace i3_2 {}

class NgForm

class NgForm extends ControlContainer implements Form, AfterViewInit {}

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>  </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>

class FormGroupDirective

class FormGroupDirective
    extends ControlContainer
    implements Form, OnChanges, OnDestroy {}

Binds an existing FormGroup or FormRecord to a DOM element.
This directive accepts an existing FormGroup instance. It will then use this FormGroup instance to match any child FormControl, FormGroup/FormRecord, and FormArray instances to child FormControlName, FormGroupName, and FormArrayName directives.

class NgForm

class NgForm extends ControlContainer implements Form, AfterViewInit {}

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>  </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>

class NgModel

class NgModel extends NgControl implements OnChanges, OnDestroy {}

Creates a FormControl instance from a [domain model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_model) and binds it to a form control element.
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.

- SelectControlValueAccessor
  ### Using ngModel on a standalone control
  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
  The following example shows controls 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.
  <form> <input name="login" ngModel placeholder="Login"> <input type="checkbox" ngModel [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}"> Show more options? </form> 
  ### 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>

class SelectControlValueAccessor

class SelectControlValueAccessor
    extends BuiltInControlValueAccessor
    implements ControlValueAccessor {}

The ControlValueAccessor for writing select control values and listening to select control changes. The value accessor is used by the FormControlDirective, FormControlName, and NgModel directives.
### Using select controls in a reactive form
The following examples show how to use a select control in a reactive form.
### Using select controls in a template-driven form
To use a select in a template-driven form, simply add an ngModel and a name attribute to the main <select> tag.
### Customizing option selection
Angular uses object identity to select option. It's possible for the identities of items to change while the data does not. This can happen, for example, if the items are produced from an RPC to the server, and that RPC is re-run. Even if the data hasn't changed, the second response will produce objects with different identities.
To customize the default option comparison algorithm, <select> supports compareWith input. compareWith takes a **function** which has two arguments: option1 and option2. If compareWith is given, Angular selects option by the return value of the function.
const selectedCountriesControl = new FormControl();
<select [compareWith]="compareFn" [formControl]="selectedCountriesControl"> <option *ngFor="let country of countries" [ngValue]="country"> {{country.name}} </option> </select> compareFn(c1: Country, c2: Country): boolean { return c1 && c2 ? c1.id === c2.id : c1 === c2; }
**Note:** We listen to the 'change' event because 'input' events aren't fired for selects in IE, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/input_event#browser_compatibility

See Also
- DefaultValueAccessor

method registerOnChange

registerOnChange: (fn: any) => void;

Registers a callback function that is called when the control's value changes in the UI.
This method is called by the forms API on initialization to update the form model when values propagate from the view to the model.
When implementing the registerOnChange method in your own value accessor, save the given function so your class calls it at the appropriate time.
### Store the change function
The following example stores the provided function as an internal method.
registerOnChange(fn: (_: any) => void): void { this._onChange = fn; }
When the value changes in the UI, call the registered function to allow the forms API to update itself:
host: { '(change)': '_onChange($event.target.value)' }
Parameter fn
The callback function to register

method registerOnTouched

registerOnTouched: (fn: any) => void;

Registers a callback function that is called by the forms API on initialization to update the form model on blur.
When implementing registerOnTouched in your own value accessor, save the given function so your class calls it when the control should be considered blurred or "touched".
### Store the callback function
The following example stores the provided function as an internal method.
registerOnTouched(fn: any): void { this._onTouched = fn; }
On blur (or equivalent), your class should call the registered function to allow the forms API to update itself:
host: { '(blur)': '_onTouched()' }
Parameter fn
The callback function to register

method setDisabledState

setDisabledState: (isDisabled: boolean) => void;

Function that is called by the forms API when the control status changes to or from 'DISABLED'. Depending on the status, it enables or disables the appropriate DOM element.

variable formArrayNameProvider

const formArrayNameProvider: any;

class FormArrayName

class FormArrayName extends ControlContainer implements OnInit, OnDestroy {}

Syncs a nested FormArray to a DOM element.
This directive is designed to be used with a parent FormGroupDirective (selector: [formGroup]).
It accepts the string name of the nested FormArray you want to link, and will look for a FormArray registered with that name in the parent FormGroup instance you passed into FormGroupDirective.

  ### 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

static ɵdir: i0.ɵɵDirectiveDeclaration<
    FormArrayName,
    '[formArrayName]',
    never,
    { name: { alias: 'formArrayName'; required: false } },
    {},
    never,
    never,
    false,
    never
>;

property ɵfac

static ɵfac: i0.ɵɵFactoryDeclaration<
    FormArrayName,
    [
        { optional: true; host: true; skipSelf: true },
        { optional: true; self: true },
        { optional: true; self: true }
    ]
>;

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 ngOnDestroy

ngOnDestroy: () => void;

A lifecycle method called before the directive's instance is destroyed. For internal use only.

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 FormGroupName

class FormGroupName
    extends AbstractFormGroupDirective
    implements OnInit, OnDestroy {}

Syncs a nested FormGroup or FormRecord to a DOM element.
This directive can only be used with a parent FormGroupDirective.
It accepts the string name of the nested FormGroup or FormRecord to link, and looks for a FormGroup or FormRecord registered with that name in the parent FormGroup instance you passed into FormGroupDirective.
Use nested form groups to validate a sub-group of a form separately from the rest or to group the values of certain controls into their own nested object.

- [Reactive Forms Guide](guide/reactive-forms)
  ### Access the group by name
  The following example uses the AbstractControl.get method to access the associated FormGroup
  this.form.get('name');
  ### Access individual controls in the group
  The following example uses the AbstractControl.get method to access individual controls within the group using dot syntax.
  this.form.get('name.first');
  ### Register a nested FormGroup.
  The following example registers a nested *name* FormGroup within an existing FormGroup, and provides methods to retrieve the nested FormGroup and individual controls.
  ReactiveFormsModule

constructor

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

property name

name: string | number;

Tracks the name of the FormGroup 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 groups to be bound to indices when iterating over groups in a FormArray.
