I tried your code, you didn't assign/bind a value to your formControlName.
In HTML file:
<form [formGroup]="form">
<label>
<input type="radio" value="Male" formControlName="gender">
<span>male</span>
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" value="Female" formControlName="gender">
<span>female</span>
</label>
</form>
In the TS file:
form: FormGroup;
constructor(fb: FormBuilder) {
this.name = 'Angular2'
this.form = fb.group({
gender: ['', Validators.required]
});
}
Make sure you use Reactive form properly: [formGroup]="form" and you don't need the name attribute.
In my sample. words male and female in span tags are the values display along the radio button and Male and Female values are bind to formControlName
See the screenshot:
To make it shorter:
<form [formGroup]="form">
<input type="radio" value='Male' formControlName="gender" >Male
<input type="radio" value='Female' formControlName="gender">Female
</form>
Hope it helps:)
