Forming Angular Forms
In any application, forms are a necessary evil. As our applications become richer and more interactive, forms can begin to take a life of their own. From simple forms to those managing significant state, Angular forms allow us to do it all.
Angular ships with two different approaches to forms — template driven and reactive forms. While template-driven forms seem more familiar to most developers, it is reactive forms that align better with Angular's philosophy and programming style.
In this session we will take a look at both styles, starting with template driven forms. We will see how to write a form in both styles, and along the way the compare and contrast styles, pros and cons, and see some of the benefits of using one over the other.
