FormControlName
Syncs a FormControl in an existing FormGroup to a form control
element by name.
constructor
FormControlNamestring | nullFormControlNamecontrol
FormControl<any>Tracks the FormControl instance bound to the directive.
name
string | number | nullTracks the name of the FormControl bound to the directive. The name corresponds
to a key in the parent FormGroup or FormArray.
Accepts a name as a string or a number.
The name in the form of a string is useful for individual forms,
while the numerical form allows for form controls to be bound
to indices when iterating over controls in a FormArray.
isDisabled
booleanTriggers a warning in dev mode that this input should not be used with reactive forms.
model
anyupdate
EventEmitter<any>viewToModelUpdate
voidSets the new value for the view model and emits an ngModelChange event.
anyThe new value for the view model.
voidpath
string[]Returns an array that represents the path from the top-level form to this control. Each index is the string name of the control on that level.
formDirective
anyThe top-level directive for this group if present, otherwise null.
valueAccessor
ControlValueAccessor | nullThe value accessor for the control
value
anyReports the value of the control if it is present, otherwise null.
valid
boolean | nullReports whether the control is valid. A control is considered valid if no validation errors exist with the current value. If the control is not present, null is returned.
invalid
boolean | nullReports whether the control is invalid, meaning that an error exists in the input value. If the control is not present, null is returned.
pending
boolean | nullReports whether a control is pending, meaning that async validation is occurring and errors are not yet available for the input value. If the control is not present, null is returned.
disabled
boolean | nullReports whether the control is disabled, meaning that the control is disabled in the UI and is exempt from validation checks and excluded from aggregate values of ancestor controls. If the control is not present, null is returned.
enabled
boolean | nullReports whether the control is enabled, meaning that the control is included in ancestor calculations of validity or value. If the control is not present, null is returned.
errors
ValidationErrors | nullReports the control's validation errors. If the control is not present, null is returned.
pristine
boolean | nullReports whether the control is pristine, meaning that the user has not yet changed the value in the UI. If the control is not present, null is returned.
dirty
boolean | nullReports whether the control is dirty, meaning that the user has changed the value in the UI. If the control is not present, null is returned.
touched
boolean | nullReports whether the control is touched, meaning that the user has triggered
a blur event on it. If the control is not present, null is returned.
status
string | nullReports the validation status of the control. Possible values include: 'VALID', 'INVALID', 'DISABLED', and 'PENDING'. If the control is not present, null is returned.
untouched
boolean | nullReports whether the control is untouched, meaning that the user has not yet triggered
a blur event on it. If the control is not present, null is returned.
statusChanges
anyReturns a multicasting observable that emits a validation status whenever it is calculated for the control. If the control is not present, null is returned.
valueChanges
anyReturns a multicasting observable of value changes for the control that emits every time the value of the control changes in the UI or programmatically. If the control is not present, null is returned.
validator
ValidatorFn | nullSynchronous validator function composed of all the synchronous validators registered with this directive.
asyncValidator
AsyncValidatorFn | nullAsynchronous validator function composed of all the asynchronous validators registered with this directive.
reset
voidResets the control with the provided value if the control is present.
anyvoidhasError
booleanReports whether the control with the given path has the error specified.
stringThe code of the error to check
string | (string | number)[] | undefinedA list of control names that designates how to move from the current control to the control that should be queried for errors.
booleanFor example, for the following FormGroup:
form = new FormGroup({ address: new FormGroup({ street: new FormControl() })});
The path to the 'street' control from the root form would be 'address' -> 'street'.
It can be provided to this method in one of two formats:
- An array of string control names, e.g.
['address', 'street'] - A period-delimited list of control names in one string, e.g.
'address.street'
If no path is given, this method checks for the error on the current control.
getError
anyReports error data for the control with the given path.
stringThe code of the error to check
string | (string | number)[] | undefinedA list of control names that designates how to move from the current control to the control that should be queried for errors.
anyFor example, for the following FormGroup:
form = new FormGroup({ address: new FormGroup({ street: new FormControl() })});
The path to the 'street' control from the root form would be 'address' -> 'street'.
It can be provided to this method in one of two formats:
- An array of string control names, e.g.
['address', 'street'] - A period-delimited list of control names in one string, e.g.
'address.street'

Usage Notes
Register FormControl within a group
The following example shows how to register multiple form controls within a form group and set their value.
import {Component} from '@angular/core';import {FormControl, FormGroup, Validators} from '@angular/forms';@Component({ selector: 'example-app', template: ` <form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()"> @if(first.invalid) { <div>Name is too short.</div> } <input formControlName="first" placeholder="First name" /> <input formControlName="last" placeholder="Last name" /> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> <button (click)="setValue()">Set preset value</button> `, standalone: false,})export class SimpleFormGroup { form = new FormGroup({ first: new FormControl('Nancy', Validators.minLength(2)), last: new FormControl('Drew'), }); get first(): any { return this.form.get('first'); } onSubmit(): void { console.log(this.form.value); // {first: 'Nancy', last: 'Drew'} } setValue() { this.form.setValue({first: 'Carson', last: 'Drew'}); }}

Use with ngModel is deprecated
Support for using the ngModel input property and ngModelChange event with reactive
form directives has been deprecated in Angular v6 and is scheduled for removal in
a future version of Angular.
