Mat-Button click inside a *ngFor with let index =

问题:

I am currently working on a project where I have a reactive form array which will be displayed on the template using an *ngIf. I think that's the normal use case and nothing special. But now I build this like

<div *ngFor="let control of form.controls['someArray'].value; let index = index">
  [...]
  <button mat-flat-button color="warn">Delete</button>
</div>
<button mat-flat-button color="primary">Add</button>

The Delete button does not react to my clicks, but the Add button does. For some reason when I remove the let index = index it works again or if I put the button outside of this *ngFor.

I hope you can help me. Thank you very much. Couldn't find any solution so far.

Example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-form-array-example-hq5tud

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroup, FormArray, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <form [formGroup]="form">
      <input type="checkbox" formControlName="published"> Published
      <div *ngIf="form.controls.published.value">

        <h2>Credentials</h2>
        <button (click)="addCreds()">Add</button>

        <div formArrayName="credentials" *ngFor="let creds of form.controls.credentials?.value; let i = index">
          <ng-container [formGroupName]="i">
            <input placeholder="Username" formControlName="username">
            <input placeholder="Password" formControlName="password">
            <button mat-flat-button (click)="buttonClick()"> Test inside </button>
          </ng-container>
        </div>
        <button mat-flat-button (click)="buttonClick()"> Test outside </button>

      </div>
    </form>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent  {
  form: FormGroup;

  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.form = this.fb.group({
      published: true,
      credentials: this.fb.array([]),
    });
  }

  addCreds() {
    const creds = this.form.controls.credentials as FormArray;
    creds.push(this.fb.group({
      username: '',
      password: '',
    }));
  }

  buttonClick() {
    console.log('Clicked');
  }
}

Finally I found the solution with the help of @ashot-aleqsanyan . The reason for that is still unclear. If anyone has an explanation for this bahavior then please tell us about.

The solution: Replace the form.controls.credentials?.value to form.get('credentials').controls in the .html template does the trick. After that the mat-buttons are working inside the *ngFor again.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroup, FormArray, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <form [formGroup]="form">
      <input type="checkbox" formControlName="published"> Published
      <div *ngIf="form.controls.published.value">

        <h2>Credentials</h2>
        <button (click)="addCreds()">Add</button>

        <div formArrayName="credentials" *ngFor="let creds of form.get('credentials').controls; let i = index">
          <ng-container [formGroupName]="i">
            <input placeholder="Username" formControlName="username">
            <input placeholder="Password" formControlName="password">
            <button mat-flat-button (click)="buttonClick()"> Test inside </button>
          </ng-container>
        </div>
        <button mat-flat-button (click)="buttonClick()"> Test outside </button>

      </div>
    </form>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent  {
  form: FormGroup;

  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.form = this.fb.group({
      published: true,
      credentials: this.fb.array([]),
    });
  }

  addCreds() {
    const creds = this.form.controls.credentials as FormArray;
    creds.push(this.fb.group({
      username: '',
      password: '',
    }));
  }

  buttonClick() {
    console.log('Clicked');
  }
}

I don't know why, but like you say the (click) event is not being trigger inside the <ng-container [formGroupName]="i"> when you use the directives mat-flat-button inside the button <button mat-flat-button> Test outside </button>

If you remove the mat-flat-button it works: <button (click)="myFunc()"> Test outside </button>

Here is the code that I test with https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-form-array-example-hq5tud :

app.component.ts :

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroup, FormArray, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <form [formGroup]="form">
      <input type="checkbox" formControlName="published"> Published
      <div *ngIf="form.controls.published.value">

        <h2>Credentials</h2>
        <button (click)="addCreds()">Add</button>

        <div formArrayName="credentials" *ngFor="let creds of form.controls.credentials?.value; let i = index">
          <ng-container [formGroupName]="i">
            <input placeholder="Username" formControlName="username">
            <input placeholder="Password" formControlName="password">
            <button class="mat-flat-button" (click)="testFunc()"> Test inside </button>
          </ng-container>
        </div>
        <button mat-flat-button (click)="testFunc()"> Test outside </button>

      </div>
    </form>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent  {
  form: FormGroup;

  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.form = this.fb.group({
      published: true,
      credentials: this.fb.array([]),
    });
  }

  addCreds() {
    const creds = this.form.controls.credentials as FormArray;
    creds.push(this.fb.group({
      username: '',
      password: '',
    }));
  }

  testFunc() {
    console.log('hello');
  }
}
