“Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?” - Avril Lavigne, implementing Angular 2 forms in 2018

Forms are such a basic part of web applications; how did they get so complicated? This talk will walk through Angular 2+ template driven vs. reactive forms and use cases for their implementation, basic & more complex form-validation, & custom component implementations like typeahead and date-pickers. This talk will also include some useful workarounds for those more complex PITA requirements that always seem to pop up in projects.

Outline

10 min - intro + problem overview
10 min - explain template driven vs. reactive forms + use cases for each
10 min - form validation with examples including dynamic validation updating
