Template-Driven Forms

Search…
The most straightforward approach to building forms in Angular is to take advantage of the directives provided for you.
First, consider a typical form:
1
<form method="POST" action="/register" id="signup-form">
2
  <label for="email">Email</label>
3
  <input type="text" name="email" id="email">
4
​
5
  <label for="password">Password</label>
6
  <input type="password" name="password" id="password">
7
​
8
  <button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
9
</form>
Copied!
Angular has already provided you a form directive, and form related directives such as input, etc which operates under the covers. For a basic implementation, we just have to add a few attributes and make sure our component knows what to do with the data.
index.html

<signup-form>Loading...</signup-form>

<form #signupForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="registerUser(signupForm)">
