How do I get access to from control from another component in Angular?-CodePudding

I have form with form controls in component A. I've decided to move some form controls to separate component B in order to prevent code duplicates in other components.

A.html:

<form [formGroup]="editForm">
  <B [formControllerName]="'name'" ></B>
  <!-- Other form controls -->
</form>

B.html:

<select  formControlName="{{formControllerName}}">
  <!-- Options -->
</select>

I got this error: Error: NG01050: formControlName must be used with a parent formGroup directive. You'll want to add a formGroup directive and pass it an existing FormGroup instance (you can create one in your class).

How I can get access to form controller from component A?

CodePudding user response：

It's possible using viewProviders, see, e.g. this SO about FormArray

A more simple

@Component({
  selector: 'hello',
  template: `<h1>Hello </h1>
      <input [formControlName]="name"/>
  `,
  viewProviders:[{ provide: ControlContainer, useExisting: FormGroupDirective }]
})
export class HelloComponent  {
  @Input() name: string;
  
  constructor(){}
}

You can use

<form [formGroup]="form">
  <hello [name]="name" > </hello>
</form>

in .ts

  name = 'name';
  form=new FormGroup({
    name:new FormControl()
  })

See stackblitz

The another way is pass the own FormControl and use

   control:FormControl
   @Input('control') set _control(value){
       this.control=value as FormControl
   }

   <input [formControl]="control">

You use as

   <hello [control]="form.get('name')" > </hello>
