export class AppComponent {
title = 'Nested FormArray Example Add Form Fields Dynamically';
empForm:FormGroup;
constructor(private fb:FormBuilder) {
this.empForm=this.fb.group({
employees: this.fb.array([]) ,
})
}
employees(): FormArray {
return this.empForm.get("employees") as FormArray
}
newEmployee(): FormGroup {
return this.fb.group({
firstName: '',
lastName: '',
skills:this.fb.array([])
})
}
addEmployee() {
console.log("Adding a employee");
this.employees().push(this.newEmployee());
}
removeEmployee(empIndex:number) {
this.employees().removeAt(empIndex);
}
employeeSkills(empIndex:number) : FormArray {
return this.employees().at(empIndex).get("skills") as FormArray
}
newSkill(): FormGroup {
return this.fb.group({
skill: '',
exp: '',
})
}
addEmployeeSkill(empIndex:number) {
this.employeeSkills(empIndex).push(this.newSkill());
}
removeEmployeeSkill(empIndex:number,skillIndex:number) {
this.employeeSkills(empIndex).removeAt(skillIndex);
}
onSubmit() {
console.log(this.empForm.value);
}
}
This is the template:
<form [formGroup]="empForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
<div formArrayName="employees">
<div *ngFor="let employee of employees().controls; let empIndex=index">
<div [formGroupName]="empIndex" style="border: 1px solid blue; padding: 10px; width: 600px; margin: 5px;">
{{empIndex}}
First Name :
<input type="text" formControlName="firstName">
Last Name:
<input type="text" formControlName="lastName">
<button (click)="removeEmployee(empIndex)">Remove</button>
<div formArrayName="skills">
<div *ngFor="let skill of employeeSkills(empIndex).controls; let
skillIndex=index">
<div [formGroupName]="skillIndex">
{{skillIndex}}
Skill :
<input type="text" formControlName="skill">
Exp:
<input type="text" formControlName="exp">
<button (click)="removeEmployeeSkill(empIndex,skillIndex)">Remove</button>
</div>
</div>
<button type="button" (click)="addEmployeeSkill(empIndex)">Add Skill</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</p>
</form>
<p>
<button type="button" (click)="addEmployee()">Add Employee</button>
</p>
