Question

I have some simple angular 2 component with template. How to clear form and all fields after submit?. I can't reload page. After set data with date.setValue('') field is stil touched.

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {FORM_DIRECTIVES, FormBuilder, ControlGroup, Validators, Control} from 'angular2/common';

@Component({
    selector: 'loading-form',
    templateUrl: 'app/loadings/loading-form.component.html',
    directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES]
})

export class LoadingFormComponent {
    private form:ControlGroup;
    private date:Control;
    private capacity:Control;

    constructor(private _loadingsService:LoadingsService, fb:FormBuilder) {
        this.date = new Control('', Validators.required);
        this.capacity = new Control('', Validators.required);
        this.form = fb.group({
            'date': this.date,
            'capacity': this.capacity
        });
    }

    onSubmit(value:any):void {
        //send some data to backend
    }
}

loading-form.component.html

Here is how I do it in Angular 7.3

// you can put this method in a module and reuse it as needed
resetForm(form: FormGroup) {

    form.reset();

    Object.keys(form.controls).forEach(key => {
      form.get(key).setErrors(null) ;
    });
}

There was no need to call form.clearValidators()

Answer 2

Below code works for me in Angular 4

import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
export class RegisterComponent implements OnInit {
 registerForm: FormGroup; 

 constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) { }   

 ngOnInit() {
    this.registerForm = this.formBuilder.group({
      empname: [''],
      empemail: ['']
    });
 }

 onRegister(){
    //sending data to server using http request
    this.registerForm.reset()
 }

}

Here's how I do it Angular 8:

Get a local reference of your form:

<form name="myForm" #myForm="ngForm"></form>

@ViewChild('myForm', {static: false}) myForm: NgForm;

And whenever you need to reset the form, call resetForm method:

this.myForm.resetForm();

---

You will need FormsModule from @angular/forms for it to work. Be sure to add it to your module imports.

Answer 4

resetForm(){
    ObjectName = {};
}

There is a new discussion about this (https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/4933). So far there is only some hacks that allows to clear the form, like recreating the whole form after submitting: https://embed.plnkr.co/kMPjjJ1TWuYGVNlnQXrU/

Answer 6

To angular version 4, you can use this:

this.heroForm.reset();

But, you could need a initial value like:

ngOnChanges() {
 this.heroForm.reset({
  name: this.hero.name, //Or '' to empty initial value. 
  address: this.hero.addresses[0] || new Address()
 });
}

It is important to resolve null problem in your object reference.
