angular2-formly is an Angular 2 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.

Include the FormlyForm component import in the directives attribute of your Component and put this in your template

<form class="formly" role="form" novalidate [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="submit(user)">
    <formly-form [model]="user" [fields]="userFields">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Button</button>
    </formly-form>
</form>

and in your TypeScript file define the the model and fields attributes

this.userFields = [{
  className: 'row',
  fieldGroup: [{
      className: 'col-xs-6',
      key: 'email',
      type: 'input',
      templateOptions: {
          type: 'email',
          label: 'Email address',
          placeholder: 'Enter email'
      },
      validation: Validators.compose([Validators.required, ValidationService.emailValidator])
  }, {
      className: 'col-xs-6',
      key: 'password',
      type: 'input',
      templateOptions: {
          type: 'password',
          label: 'Password',
          placeholder: 'Password',
          pattern: ''
      },
      validation: Validators.compose([Validators.required, Validators.maxLength(10), Validators.minLength(2)])
  }]
}];
 
this.user = {
  email: 'email@gmail.com',
  checked: false
};
 

Quick Start

  • install ng2-formly
  npm install ng2-formly --save
  • add the script to the HTML file (if necessary)
<!-- index.html -->
<script src="node_modules/ng2-formly/bundles/ng2-formly.min.js"></script>
 
  • and to your component add
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {bootstrap} from '@angular/platform/browser';
import {FormlyForm, FormlyConfig, FormlyMessages, TemplateDirectives, FormlyProviders} from 'ng2-formly'
 
@Component({
    selector: 'hello-app',
    template: `
        <h1>Hello, {{name}}!</h1>
        Say hello to: <input [value]="name" (input)="name = $event.target.value">
        <formly-form [model]="user" [fields]="userFields"></formly-form>
    `,
    directives: [FormlyForm],
    providers: [FormlyConfig, FormlyMessages]
})
export class HelloApp {
    name: string = 'World';
    user = {};
    userFields;
    constructor(fc: FormlyConfig) {
        ['input', 'checkbox'].forEach((field) => {
            fc.setType({
                name: field,
                component: TemplateDirectives[field]
            })
        });
 
        this.userFields = [{
            key: 'nameOfPerson',
            type: 'input',
            templateOptions: {}
        }]
    }
}
 
bootstrap(HelloApp, [FormlyProviders]);

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