I am using reactiveformmodule and has created a formcontrol for select tag. On load of the page I am fetching data from backend and binding it using patchvalue to the selectformcontrol. But in doing this the change event of select is not fired.
in .html
<select id="businessType" formControlName="businessType">
<option value="-1">Business type</option>
<option *ngFor="let business of businessTypes; let i=index;" [value]="i">{{business.b_type}}</option>
</select>
in .ts
this.formGroupObject.patchValue({
'businessType': 0 //"0" is coming from backend
})
I have lot of select tags across my application, so cannot capture valuechange for each selectformcontrol.
I wanted to generalize by creating a directive and adding hostlistener to it like below
@Directive({
selector: 'select',
})
and my code inside class
@HostListener('change', ['$event'])
onChange(event) {
//do something
}
But this onChange is not fired when data is patched using form control .patchValue, when I manually select option then this is triggered.
I want to capture an event which gets triggered when the data is patched in select tag.
