@ngx-formly is an Angular module which has a Components to help customize and render JavaScript/JSON configured forms. The formly-form Component and the FormlyConfig service are very powerful and bring unmatched maintainability to your application's forms.

Quick Start

Follow these steps to get started with ng-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

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';

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

    // for material2 use:
    // FormlyMaterialModule
  ],
})
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(userModel)">
      <formly-form [model]="userModel" [fields]="userFields">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
      </formly-form>
    </form>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  form = new FormGroup({});
  userModel = { email: 'email@gmail.com' };
  userFields: Array<FormlyFieldConfig> = [{
    key: 'email',
    type: 'input',
    templateOptions: {
      type: 'email',
      label: 'Email address',
      placeholder: 'Enter email',
      required: true,
    }
  }];

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

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