This blog represents a list of recommendations for capturing user inputs from a form in an Angular app.
- One should make use of template reference variable instead of the $event object to refer to the input element in order to capture user inputs from forms. Following represents the usage of template reference variable.
<input #fullname (keyup)="setName(fullname.value)"/>
The following represents usage of $event object (not recommended):
<input (keyup)="setName($event)"/>
- When using the template reference variable, the “value” should be passed rather than passing elements. The following represents usage of passing by value:
<input #fullname (keyup)="setName(fullname.value)"/>
- Keep template statements simple. The following represents two statements on keyup event, one to pass the value and second to clear the field.
<input #fullname (keyup)="setName(fullname.value); fullname='' "/>
