Template-Driven Forms
Short summary
Angular template-driven forms use FormsModule with ngModel for two-way binding and NgForm for form-level state tracking. Template variables give direct access to control instances; validation attributes (required, email, minlength) auto-track validity. Choose NgForm for full form state and validation, or simple [(ngModel)] binding if only field values matter.
- •Import FormsModule and use (ngSubmit) with ngModel for template-driven form handling
- •Template variables (#ref='ngForm') capture NgForm directive for access to form.value and validation state
- •Validation attributes are auto-tracked; display errors conditionally using control.touched and control.errors
