typescript - Detect if data in an Angular form (not reactive) was changed

Typescript - Detect if data in an Angular form (not reactive) was changed

In an Angular template-driven form (non-reactive form), you can use the ngModel directive to bind form controls to properties in your component. To detect if the data in the form was changed, you can compare the initial values with the current values. Here's an example:

  1. Template-Driven Form: Assume you have a simple template-driven form:

    <!-- your-component.component.html --> <form #myForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" [(ngModel)]="formData.name" /> <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="email" id="email" name="email" [(ngModel)]="formData.email" /> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form>

  2. Component: In your component, you can keep track of the initial form data and compare it with the current form data to detect changes:

    // your-component.component.ts import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-your-component', templateUrl: './your-component.component.html', styleUrls: ['./your-component.component.css'] }) export class YourComponent implements OnInit { formData: any = {}; // Initialize an object to store form data initialFormData: any = {}; // Initialize an object to store initial form data formChanged: boolean = false; // Flag to track if the form data has changed ngOnInit(): void { // Set the initial form data this.initialFormData = { ...this.formData }; } onSubmit(): void { // Your form submission logic here // Reset the initial form data after submission this.initialFormData = { ...this.formData }; this.formChanged = false; } detectChanges(): void { // Compare the initial data with the current data this.formChanged = JSON.stringify(this.initialFormData) !== JSON.stringify(this.formData); } }

  3. Detect Changes in the Template: You can use the (ngModelChange) event to trigger the detectChanges method whenever a form control is changed:

    <!-- your-component.component.html --> <form #myForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" [(ngModel)]="formData.name" (ngModelChange)="detectChanges()" /> <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="email" id="email" name="email" [(ngModel)]="formData.email" (ngModelChange)="detectChanges()" /> <button type="submit" [disabled]="!formChanged">Submit</button> </form>

This example uses the initialFormData to store the initial state of the form and the detectChanges method to compare the initial state with the current state whenever a form control changes. The submit button is disabled if there are no changes. Adjust the code based on your specific form structure and requirements.
