Issue
I have a form array inside a FormBuilder and I am dynamically changing forms, i.e. on click load data from application 1 etc.
The issue I am having is that all the data loads in but the data in the FormArray stays and just concats the old items with new.
How do I clear that FormArray to only have the new items.
I've tried this
const control2 = <FormArray>this.registerForm.controls['other_Partners'];
control2.setValue([]);
but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
ngOnInit(): void {
this.route.params.subscribe(params => {
if (params['id']) {
this.id = Number.parseInt(params['id']);
} else { this.id = null;}
});
if (this.id != null && this.id != NaN) {
alert(this.id);
this.editApplication();
this.getApplication(this.id);
} else {
this.newApplication();
}
}
onSelect(Editedapplication: Application) {
this.router.navigate(['/apply', Editedapplication.id]);
}
editApplication() {
this.registerForm = this.formBuilder.group({
id: null,
type_of_proposal: ['', Validators.required],
title: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(5)]],
lead_teaching_fellow: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(5)]],
description: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(5)]],
status: '',
userID: JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('currentUser')).username,
contactEmail: JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('currentUser')).email,
forename: JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('currentUser')).firstname,
surname: JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('currentUser')).surname,
line_manager_discussion: true,
document_url: '',
keywords: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(5)]],
financial_Details: this.formBuilder.group({
id: null,
buying_expertise_description: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(2)]],
buying_expertise_cost: ['', [Validators.required]],
buying_out_teaching_fellow_cost: ['', [Validators.required]],
buying_out_teaching_fellow_desc: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(2)]],
travel_desc: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(2)]],
travel_cost: ['', [Validators.required]],
conference_details_desc: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(2)]],
conference_details_cost: ['', [Validators.required]],
}),
partners: this.formBuilder.array([
//this.initEditPartner(),
//this.initEditPartner()
// this.initMultiplePartners(1)
]
),
other_Partners: this.formBuilder.array([
//this.initEditOther_Partners(),
])
});
}
getApplication(id) {
this.applicationService.getAppById(id, JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('currentUser')).username)
.subscribe(Response => {
if (Response.json() == false) {
this.router.navigateByUrl('/');
} else {
this.application = Response.json();
for (var i = 0; i < this.application.partners.length;i++) {
this.addPartner();
}
for (var i = 0; i < this.application.other_Partners.length; i++) {
this.addOther_Partner();
}
this.getDisabledStatus(Response.json().status);
(<FormGroup>this.registerForm) .setValue(Response.json(), { onlySelf: true });
}
});
}
ngOnInit is not being called on click
Solution
I had same problem. There are two ways to solve this issue.
Preserve subscription
You can manually clear each FormArray element by calling the removeAt(i)
function in a loop.
clearFormArray = (formArray: FormArray) => {
while (formArray.length !== 0) {
formArray.removeAt(0)
}
}
The advantage to this approach is that any subscriptions on your
formArray
, such as that registered withformArray.valueChanges
, will not be lost.
See the FormArray documentation for more information.
Cleaner method (but breaks subscription references)
You can replace whole FormArray with a new one.
clearFormArray = (formArray: FormArray) => {
formArray = this.formBuilder.array([]);
}
This approach causes an issue if you're subscribed to the
formArray.valueChanges
observable! If you replace the FromArray with a new array, you will lose the reference to the observable that you're subscribed to.
