I am trying to use the disabled
attribute from a formControl
. When I put it in the template, it works:
<md-input formControlName="id" placeholder="ID" [disabled]="true"></md-input>
But the browser alerts me:
It looks like you're using the disabled attribute with a reactive form directive. If you set disabled to true when you set up this control in your component class, the disabled attribute will actually be set in the DOM for you. We recommend using this approach to avoid 'changed after checked' errors.
Example: form = new FormGroup({ first: new FormControl({value: 'Nancy', disabled: true}, Validators.required), last: new FormControl('Drew', Validators.required) });
So I put it in the FormControl
, and deleted from the template:
constructor(private itemsService: ItemsService) {
this._items = [];
this.myForm = new FormGroup({
id: new FormControl({value: '', disabled: true}, Validators.required),
title: new FormControl(),
description: new FormControl()
});
this.id = this.myForm.controls['id'];
this.title = this.myForm.controls['title'];
this.description = this.myForm.controls['description'];
this.id.patchValue(this._items.length);
}
But it does not work (it is not disabling the input
). What is the problem?
This question is related to
angular
typescript
add name attribute to your md-input. if it doesn't solve the problem, please post your template
disabling of mat form fields is exempted if you are using form validation,so do make sure that your form field does not have any validations like(validators.required),this worked for me. for ex:
editUserPhone: new FormControl({value:' ',disabled:true})
this makes the phone numbers of user to be non editable.
This was my solution:
this.myForm = this._formBuilder.group({
socDate: [[{ value: '', disabled: true }], Validators.required],
...
)}
<input fxFlex [matDatepicker]="picker" placeholder="Select Date" formControlName="socDate" [attr.disabled]="true" />
add disable="true" to html field Example :disable
<amexio-text-input formControlName="LastName" disable="true" [(ngModel)]="emplpoyeeRegistration.lastName" [field-label]="'Last Name'" [place-holder]="'Please enter last name'" [allow-blank]="true" [error-msg]="'errorMsg'" [enable-popover]="true" [min-length]="2"
[min-error-msg]="'Minimum 2 char allowed'" [max-error-msg]="'Maximum 20 char allowed'" name="xyz" [max-length]="20">
[icon-feedback]="true">
</amexio-text-input>
Initialization (component) using:
public selector = new FormControl({value: '', disabled: true});
Then instead of using (template):
<ngx-select
[multiple]="true"
[disabled]="errorSelector"
[(ngModel)]="ngxval_selector"
[items]="items"
</ngx-select>
Just remove the attribute disabled:
<ngx-select
[multiple]="true"
[(ngModel)]="ngxval_selector"
[items]="items"
</ngx-select>
And when you have items to show, launch (in component): this.selector.enable();
this.form.disable()
this.form.enable()
For one formcontrol makes disable
this.form.get('first').disable()
this.form.get('first').enable()
Or initial set method.
first: new FormControl({disabled: true}, Validators.required)
Only who are using reactive forms : For native HTML elements [attr.disabled] will work but for material elements we need to dynamically disable the element.
this.form.get('controlname').disable();
Otherwise it will show in console warning message.
Ultimate way to do this.
ngOnInit() {
this.interPretationForm.controls.InterpretationType.valueChanges.takeWhile(()=> this.alive).subscribe(val =>{
console.log(val); // You check code. it will be executed every time value change.
})
}
I tried these in angular 7. It worked successfully.
this.form.controls['fromField'].reset();
if(condition){
this.form.controls['fromField'].enable();
}
else{
this.form.controls['fromField'].disable();
}
in Angular-9 if you want to disable/enable on button click here is a simple solution if you are using reactive forms.
define a function in component.ts file
//enable example you can use the same approach for disable with .disable()
toggleEnable() {
this.yourFormName.controls.formFieldName.enable();
console.log("Clicked")
}
Call it from your component.html
e.g
<button type="button" data-toggle="form-control" class="bg-primary text-white btn-
reset" style="width:100%"(click)="toggleEnable()">
In my case with Angular 8. I wanted to toggle enable/disable of the input depending on the condition.
[attr.disabled]
didn't work for me so here is my solution.
I removed [attr.disabled]
from HTML and in the component function performed this check:
if (condition) {
this.form.controls.myField.disable();
} else {
this.form.controls.myField.enable();
}
The beauty of reactive forms is you can catch values changes event of any input element very easily and at the same time you can change their values/ status. So here is the another way to tackle your problem by using enable
disable
.
Here is the complete solution on stackblitz.
You can enable/disable a form control by using the following methods:
control.disable() or control.enable()
If that did not work for you can use a directive
import { NgControl } from '@angular/forms';
@Directive({
selector: '[disableControl]'
})
export class DisableControlDirective {
@Input() set disableControl( condition : boolean ) {
const action = condition ? 'disable' : 'enable';
this.ngControl.control[action]();
}
constructor( private ngControl : NgControl ) {
}
}
Then you could use it like this
<input [formControl]="formControl" [disableControl]="disable">
<button (click)="disable = true">Disable</button>
<button (click)="disable = false">Enable</button>
This technique is described here:
Hope it helps
I found that I needed to have a default value, even if it was an empty string for it to work. So this:
this.registerForm('someName', {
firstName: new FormControl({disabled: true}),
});
...had to become this:
this.registerForm('someName', {
firstName: new FormControl({value: '', disabled: true}),
});
See my question (which I don't believe is a duplicate): Passing 'disabled' in form state object to FormControl constructor doesn't work
Use [attr.disabled] instead [disabled], in my case it works ok
When you create new Form control, use next:
variable: FormControl = new FormControl({value: '', disabled: true});
If you want change activity, use next:
this.variable.enable()
or
this.variable.disable()
