Quick Start

Follow these steps to get started with Ngx Formly. Also check out our demos for further examples.

1. Install @angular/forms and @ngx-formly/core packages:

  npm install @angular/forms @ngx-formly/core --save

2. Choose and install your UI (pre-defined types/templates) package:

• Material2:
  1. Ensure you have already installed material2 https://material.angular.io/guide/getting-started
  2. Install @ngx-formly/material

  npm install @ngx-formly/material --save

• Bootstrap:

    npm install @ngx-formly/bootstrap --save

• Ionic:

    npm install @ngx-formly/ionic --save

• PrimeNG:

    npm install @ngx-formly/primeng --save

• Kendo:

    npm install @ngx-formly/kendo --save

3. Import the FormlyModule and UI (pre-defined types/templates):

import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {ReactiveFormsModule} from '@angular/forms';
import {FormlyModule} from '@ngx-formly/core';
import {FormlyBootstrapModule} from '@ngx-formly/bootstrap';

// for material2 import `FormlyMaterialModule`:
// import {FormlyMaterialModule} from '@ngx-formly/material';

// for ionic import `FormlyIonicModule`:
// import {FormlyIonicModule} from '@ngx-formly/ionic';

// for primeng import `FormlyPrimeNGModule`:
// import {FormlyPrimeNGModule} from '@ngx-formly/primeng';

// for kendo import `FormlyKendoModule`:
// import {FormlyKendoModule} from '@ngx-formly/kendo';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    FormlyModule.forRoot(),
    FormlyBootstrapModule,

    // for material2:
    // FormlyMaterialModule

    // for ionic:
    // FormlyIonicModule

    // for primeng:
    // FormlyPrimeNGModule

    // for kendo:
    // FormlyKendoModule
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

3. Define the form config in your component:

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {FormGroup} from '@angular/forms';
import {FormlyFieldConfig} from '@ngx-formly/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  template: `
    <form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="submit(model)">
      <formly-form [form]="form" [fields]="fields" [model]="model">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
      </formly-form>
    </form>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  form = new FormGroup({});
  model = { email: '[email protected]' };
  fields: FormlyFieldConfig[] = [{
    key: 'email',
    type: 'input',
    templateOptions: {
      type: 'email',
      label: 'Email address',
      placeholder: 'Enter email',
      required: true,
    }
  }];

  submit(model) {
    console.log(model);
  }
}

From there, it's just JavaScript. Allowing for DRY, maintainable, reusable forms.
