"Reusable" forms or at least an easier way to create them

Time:11-05

I'm working on an Angular 12 project and I've been told that the way I'm creating the forms for the CRUD operations is a bit overwhelming. The way I'm currently using is just like the official primeng example. Note that there are like 7-8 CRUDs that are similar, the only difference is the form fields.

Question 1

I think the guy who told me that probably meant to replace the current code with some kind of a shared component and then enumerate all form fields and display them? Reactive forms? Or maybe there is some fancy npm package?

Question 2

I was looking at how this guy did it in that open source project. Maybe I should use his approach?

Code

import { Component, OnDestroy, OnInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Subject, takeUntil } from 'rxjs';

import { Lecturer } from '@core/types';
import { LecturerService } from './lecturer.service';
import { ConfirmationService, MessageService, PrimeNGConfig } from 'primeng/api';
import { BreadcrumbService } from '@core/services';
import { Table } from 'primeng/table';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-lecturers',
  templateUrl: './lecturers.component.html'
})
export class LecturersComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  lecturerDialog: boolean;
  lecturers: Lecturer[];
  lecturer: Lecturer;
  selectedLecturers: Lecturer[];
  submitted: boolean;
  loading: boolean = true;

  private componentDestroyed$ = new Subject<boolean>();

  @ViewChild('dt') table: Table;

  constructor(
    private lecturerService: LecturerService,
    private messageService: MessageService,
    private confirmationService: ConfirmationService,
    private breadcrumbService: BreadcrumbService,
    private primengConfig: PrimeNGConfig
  ) {
    this.breadcrumbService.setItems([{ label: 'Преподаватели' }]);
  }

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.lecturerService
      .getAllLecturers()
      .pipe(takeUntil(this.componentDestroyed$))
      .subscribe((data) => {
        this.lecturers = data;
        this.loading = false;
      });

    this.primengConfig.ripple = true;
  }

  ngOnDestroy(): void {
    this.componentDestroyed$.next(true);
    this.componentDestroyed$.complete();
  }

  applyFilterGlobal($event: any) {
    this.table.filterGlobal(($event.target as HTMLInputElement).value, 'contains');

          life: 3000
        });
      }
    });
  }

  editLecturer(lecturer: Lecturer) {
    this.lecturer = { ...lecturer };
    this.lecturerDialog = true;
  }

  deleteLecturer(lecturer: Lecturer) {
    this.confirmationService.confirm({
      message: 'Сигурни ли сте, че искате да изтриете данните за '   lecturer.displayName   '?',

  }

  hideDialog() {
    this.lecturerDialog = false;
    this.submitted = false;
  }

  saveLecturer() {
    this.submitted = true;

    if (this.lecturer.fullName?.trim() && this.lecturer.displayName?.trim()) {
      if (this.lecturer.id) {
        this.lecturers[this.findIndexById(this.lecturer.id)] = this.lecturer;
        this.messageService.add({
          severity: 'success',
          summary: 'Успешно',
          detail: 'Данните за преподавателя са обновени',
          life: 3000
        });
      } else {
        this.lecturers.push(this.lecturer);

        // update to what's in db instead

CodePudding user response:

I'd suggest putting the form in a separate component - straight away that would simplify the table component

You could use Angular Reactive Forms which under the hood manage the object that's being updated - on submit you could emit this object via an @Output or directly trigger the CRUD operations in the form component using the appropriate services (probably a better approach)
