Basic form controls
This section will now discuss more of the concepts of form controls in reactive forms. We have already created an example of form controls in the previous section, but now, we will discover more about the functions and capabilities of form controls in Angular.
Form controls represent a single form element inside a form; they store the value of a form element that allows us to retrieve data of each input. This can be input, textarea, or any element that accepts values. When used in Angular, form controls can be instantiated by adding new FormControl('') code; we can see that it takes a single argument that defines the values of the control. These values can be null as form controls can be reset.
Form controls are like the properties of a JSON object, but compared to JSON, each control has its methods that will help us control, modify, and validate the values.
