Futher Challanges

@pankajparkar

  • Can't use template driven form
  • Applying validation dynamically can be challenging
  • Could lead to unmaintainable code

ControlValueAccessor

Accesor Form Element
DefaultValueAccessor input, textarea
CheckboxControlValueAccessor input[type=checkbox]
NumberValueAccessor input[type=number]
RadioControlValueAccessor input[type=radio] 
RangeValueAccessor input[type=range]
SelectControlValueAccessor select
SelectMultipleControlValueAccessor select[multiple] 

Above all classes inherits from ControlValueAccessor

CVA API

  • writeValue
  • registerOnChange

  • registerOnTouched

  • setDisabled

  provide: NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR,
  multi: true,
  useExisting: forwardRef(() => RadioGroupComponent)
}
@Component({
  selector: 'cb-radio-group',
  templateUrl: './radio-group.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./radio-group.component.css'],
  providers: [DEFAULT_CONTROLVALUEACCESSOR]
})
export class RadioGroupComponent {
  ...
}
