Modifying forms dynamically
So far, we have used the FormGroup
and FormControl
classes extensively throughout this chapter. However, we have not seen what FormArray
is all about.
Consider the scenario where we have added some products to the shopping cart of our e-shop application and want to update their quantities before checking out the order.
Currently, our application does not have any functionality for a shopping cart, so we will now add one:
- Create a new service to manage the shopping cart by running the following Angular CLI command in the
src\app\cart
folder:ng generate service cart
- Open the
cart.service.ts
file and add the followingimport
statement:import { Product } from '../products/product';
- Create a
cart
property in theCartService
class and initialize it to an empty array:
...export class CartService { cart: Product[] = []; constructor() { } }
