Angular 9 Tutorials For Beginners #49- Reactive Forms - Value Changes

hi friends welcome back to our tutorials we are continuing with our angular 9 full tutorial series and in today's episode we are going to learn about how to capture the value changes in a forum group this is part of the reactive forms that we are learning most cases we will require us to track the forms though angular does it for us but we need to keep change of track of the values that are changing a good use case is like an autocomplete search right so when you start typing something you will see automatic results coming up or some auto-completion so these these are some of the use cases where you need to track the values that are being changed in the form dynamically we are going to learn all about it in today's episode welcome back my name is shredder I am your host I bring over 10 years of experience as a full-stack developer I bring knowledge on modern technology technology stack and frameworks like angular node Xpress MongoDB Riak and much more I have a passion to share my knowledge with all of you and also to learn from you all so during the course of this tutorial series I request you if you have any queries any doubts during the code examples or theoretical explanation please feel free to reach out to me in the comment section I will be happy to help you for free I'm putting in a lot of hard work in compiling these tutorials for you so please support me by liking the videos and subscribing to my channel thank you in advance on lot of requests I have created a full angular 9 tutorial playlist which has around 46 to 48 tutorials so far covering all the basics to the advanced concepts of angular 9 so if you are looking to learn angular this is the tutorial series for you the playlist is in the description box below so please make sure you check it out to learn and master angular 9 so for the last few tutorials we have been focusing on angular forms and we have learnt about the different types of forms we have seen template driven forms we have seen reactive or dynamic forms today's episode we are focusing on value changes in the form group so just a recap in the previous episodes we built two reactive forms we added validations we learned how to get values how to set values how to reset the form today we will learn how to track the values that are being changed so value changes is yet another important property of form control form group and form array so we can use this property on any of these modules that are available value changes always returns a observable a lot of you have asked me in the comments that what are observables how do we use rxjs how do we use promises I promise you that I will bring you these tutorials very soon I am working on him them creating tutorials for you so you should expect them soon for now understand that value changes returns an observable so whenever a value is returned as an observable we have to subscribe to it to listen to or to read the value right so remember two concepts value changes will return an observable second whenever you get an observable we need to subscribe to it to read the value now value changes is a property in abstract control that's the main class I would say value changes will emit an event every time there is a change in the value of the control changes right so like with like by the name itself says that whenever there is a value changes means whenever there is a change in the value it will automatically event it will trigger a emit an event and which is returning an observable so this is about the explanation of value changes on form group let's see a practical of how to actually implement it so there are two ways to do it there are two approaches I would say one you can use this value changes on an individual form L control right we can use it at a individual form element or form control the second is to read the entire form right so remember now these are two methods so if like the first example I gave you where we talked about Auto completion right auto complete there we need to track an individual form element that is the search box as soon as you start typing it should capture the value and return you the matching results this is an exact lassic example of using value changes for form controls but in most cases you might want to track the form that is entire changed and on submit we'll see both of them in action let's get to practical and see that in action alright so the story so far let me show you the application so we have this reactive form which we built over a past couple of episodes it has validations it's a reactive form it is disabled we can clear the form right so we can clear the form we can reset it basically so if you have missed out on those tutorials please do check it out so let's continue building on this so I'm going to go to my application and I'll go to checkout which is the form and this is my temp the reactive form that we built last in few episodes so now we are trying to use the value changes so first I will show you the value changes that happens okay so the classic example of which is putting it on the form element itself right so let's put that on ng change so what we'll do is we'll go to so we can define ng on in it okay so here I will write this dot form name that is our form name is dot checkout form then we will say dot now here we will use value changes right so while you change this is nothing but we are tracking the value change on this particular form element right so on what field we want to use that right that's important so here if you see I am mentioning the form name field right so we need to mention the form name field so what we'll do is we'll say get and we will check the name of the field that we are using so the name of the field that we are using is email address control so the form control name that is email address take it here put it in the gate items dot value changes right now again like I said this is this will return a observable so we need to write subscribe and here we are using the arrow function to relate that value right and let's just console.log for now I will say data right so I have written a implementation that on ng on in it start tracking the changes or the value changes for this particular form control right now let's start the application it will take a couple of minutes but stay with me while we are waiting on this I request you to if you're liking the video if you are enjoying this tutorial give a like to this video and if you have not yet subscribed please do so alright so this way we have now lets me make some quick comments and notes here for you provide the form control name for which we want to read the values on change ok now this can be anything write the form control name can be any input type on your form it can be a check box dropdown select whatever it is it can be in our case right now this is an input okay now let's see the output so here we have the output let me open console and clear any logs we may have okay so it's empty now I click on it now see I'm going to type here a are you see here changes a and are now let's type C at tutorials dot-com so you see we are capturing all the values now delete so we see see these values are being tracked on real time all right so these are called the value changes now this is how you can capture for any value change by a drop-down input select select or input type equal to checkbox radio the idea is to on key up right the event that is triggered is on key up notice again I I focus on it nothing happens now I will press some character and key up that is tu and it captures the value right so similarly if you want to just capture what I'll do is I'll just create a data binding quickly to show you or you can just have it in the element itself right so here is a value tracked value change track equal to it's a string so but we don't have to necessarily mention it as a string we can use it so we can usually basically just enter a default value and say this okay so all right so I gave a default value for this now we will assign this value and here we'll say this dot equal to data right so what we are doing we are just assigning that value to this and we can go to our form and just do a data binding to see that value right I will say and third value is okay so now let's see this here now I will now start seeing it here that it's we don't need console anymore so now start seeing it here that it will start showing the value right here right so you're capturing on value change on everything that you change you're tracking the value every time it is changed so this is one of the classic examples of where you can use the value changes for each form control now let's say I have an entire form right so whenever there is a value change in a form we can listen to the entire form let's see that now so again let's go back now this is an example let me comment down here so just way you know right now now we are trying to read the entire value that M every time there is a change in the value of the form so you will write this store checkout dot value changes dot subscribe again it's an arrow function right so what I'm doing here is I am reading the entire value of the form every time there is a change in any field remember the difference is whenever there is any change in any form control in form will omit the Aventa right here only when this field is changed we will omit that value right but here here we have mentioned explicitly that track only this field here we are saying track the entire form so when you do there is any change it will trigger and it will console.log the data so let me comment this off just to show you the difference first right now let's go back now open console all right you see here this entire form is getting captured every single time the values see it's capturing the values every single time the movement there is a change it will capture see so this way you can capture the entire form whenever there is a value change in any form control and that is the beauty of it right so give it a try let me know how it goes in the next episode I'm going to show you about status changes because that's very very important and I am sure in any objects that you work you will have to track the status and that's what we are going to learn in the next episode thank you so much for joining I will request you to try the code samples that I have given to practice with me and let me know if you have any doubts I'll be happy to help you thank you so much for watching see you in the next episode
