Why should you care?

Admin settings and KYC-style AngularVerse forms need testable, explicit form models.

See it live — copy this example

Run examples in an Angular CLI project (ng serve). Prefer standalone components and TypeScript strict mode.

import { FormBuilder, ReactiveFormsModule, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

readonly form = this.fb.nonNullable.group({
  email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
  remember: [true],
});

constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {}

submit() {
  if (this.form.invalid) return;
  console.log(this.form.getRawValue());
}

What happened?

• FormBuilder creates controls.
• Validators run synchronously.
• getRawValue includes disabled fields.

Practice next

1. Import ReactiveFormsModule (or provide it via imports on standalone).
2. Bind [formGroup] and formControlName.
3. Show email errors in the template.
4. Add a password control.
5. Use FormArray for phone list later.

Remember

Reactive = model in TS. Validate before submit. Bind with formControlName.

Login form

Collect email safely.

Outcome: Invalid emails cannot submit.
