I'm having a array form namely "address" and this will be a dynamic once the user clicks the "Add Address" button immediately one address form will add. I implemented this with an issue (Add/Remove address works fine). Now I need to add a dynamic contact numbers similar like address.
A address may contain one or more than one phone numbers, if the user clicks "Add Phone number" need to add a new phone number form inside the address form, the functionality will required in all the address forms. (i.e., array of array => array of address and each address contains array of contacts)
Working code is available in StackBlitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-maexn8
Sample Code:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, FormArray, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { User } from '../../model/user';
@Injectable()
export class UpsertUserFormService {
public userForm: FormGroup;
constructor(private _fb: FormBuilder) {
this.userForm = this._fb.group({
relation: [],
title: [],
firstName: [],
lastName: [],
address: this._fb.array([this.addAddressGroup()])
});
}
private addAddressGroup(): FormGroup {
return this._fb.group({
street: [],
city: [],
state: [],
pincode: [],
isPrimary: [],
contacts: this._fb.array([this.contactsGroup()])
});
}
showMessage(obj: any) {
console.log('Console Item: ',obj)
}
private contactsGroup(): FormGroup {
return this._fb.group({
phoneNumber: ['9712345678', [Validators.maxLength(10)]],
});
}
addAddress(): void {
this.addressArray.push(this.addAddressGroup());
console.log(this.addressArray);
}
removeAddress(index: number): void {
this.addressArray.removeAt(index);
}
get addressArray(): FormArray {
return <FormArray>this.userForm.get('address');
}
}
Kindly assist me how to implement dynamic nested array forms (Add/Remove forms).
You need to declare according to the formGroup
or formArrays
properly.
You can use this as reference.
Edit
Forked your code: here. As mentioned above, keep the group/array/controls
in order
App.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, FormArray, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent {
name = 'Angular';
public userForm: FormGroup;
constructor(private _fb: FormBuilder) {
this.userForm = this._fb.group({
firstName: [],
lastName: [],
address: this._fb.array([this.addAddressGroup()])
});
}
private addAddressGroup(): FormGroup {
return this._fb.group({
street: [],
city: [],
state: [],
contacts: this._fb.array([])
});
}
addAddress(): void {
this.addressArray.push(this.addAddressGroup());
console.log(this.addressArray);
}
removeAddress(index: number): void {
this.addressArray.removeAt(index);
}
get addressArray(): FormArray {
return <FormArray>this.userForm.get('address');
}
addContact(index): void {
(<FormArray>(<FormGroup>this.addressArray.controls[index]).controls.contacts).push(this.contactsGroup());
}
private contactsGroup(): FormGroup {
return this._fb.group({
contactPerson: [],
phoneNumber: ['9712345678', [Validators.maxLength(10)]],
});
}
addPhoneNumber(index: number): void {
this.addressArray[index].contacts.push(this.contactsGroup());
console.log(this.addressArray[index].contacts);
}
}
## App.component.html ##
<h3>Users Creation</h3>
<form class="example-form" [formGroup]="userForm">
<div class="primary-container">
<input matInput placeholder="First Name" value="" formControlName="firstName">
<input matInput placeholder="Last Name" value="" formControlName="lastName">
</div>
<div class="address-container" *ngFor="let group of addressArray.controls; let i = index;" formArrayName="address">
<div [formGroupName]='i'>
<input matInput placeholder="Street" value="" formControlName="street">
<input matInput placeholder="City" value="" formControlName="city">
<input matInput placeholder="State" value="" formControlName="state">
<div formArrayName='contacts'>
<div *ngFor="let subgroup of group.controls.contacts.controls; let idx = index;" [formGroupName]="idx">
<input matInput placeholder="Contact Person" value="" formControlName="contactPerson">
<input matInput placeholder="Phone Number" value="" formControlName="phoneNumber">
</div>
<button mat-raised-button (click)="addContact(i)">Add more Contacts</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-row org-desc-parent-margin">
<button mat-raised-button (click)="addAddress()">Add more address</button>
</div>
</form>
Try the following way. Pass the index for the address in view and read the contacts element for that particular address and add a new contactGroup.
addPhoneNumber(index: number): void {
this.addressArray[index].contacts.push(this.contactsGroup());
console.log(this.addressArray[index].contacts);
}
Hope this helps!!!
