How to clear form after submit in Angular 2?

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

<div class="card card-block">
    <h3 class="card-title">Loading form</h3>

    <form (ngSubmit)="onSubmit(form.value)" [ngFormModel]="form">
        <fieldset class="form-group" [class.has-danger]="!date.valid && date.touched">
            <label class="form-control-label" for="dateInput">Date</label>
            <input type="text" class="form-control form-control-danger form-control-success" id="dateInput"
                   min="0" placeholder="Enter loading date"
                   [ngFormControl]="form.controls['date']">
        </fieldset>
        <fieldset class="form-group" [class.has-danger]="!capacity.valid && capacity.touched">
            <label class="form-control-label" for="capacityInput">Capacity</label>
            <input type="number" class="form-control form-control-danger form-control-success" id="capacityInput"
                   placeholder="Enter capacity"
                   [ngFormControl]="form.controls['capacity']">
        </fieldset>
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" [disabled]="!form.valid">Submit
        </button>
    </form>
</div>

Answer 1

I found another solution. It's a bit hacky but its widely available in angular2 world.

Since *ngIf directive removes the form and recreates it, one can simply add an *ngIf to the form and bind it to some sort of formSuccessfullySentvariable. => This will recreate the form and therefore reset the input control statuses.

Of course, you have to clear the model variables also. I found it convenient to have a specific model class for my form fields. This way i can reset all fields as simple as creating a new instance of this model class. :)

Answer 2

this.myForm.reset();

This is all enough...You can get the desired output
