Two way binding in *ngFor on Array of elements(non-object)












0















I have a simple array tags = ; and I'm pushing blank element on addNew() using this.tags.push("");. It creates blank element in that array.



Now, I'm using this array to add multiple items to be added from the input



<div class="row tagEntry" *ngFor="let tag of tags, let i = index">
<div class="col-md-10">
<input type="text" name="tag-{{i}}" placeholder="Tag Name" [(ngModel)]="tag" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<button class="btn btn-block btn-danger" (click)="removeTag(i)"><i class="fa fa-trash"></i></button>
</div>
</div>


My TS file:



todoDesc: string = '';
tags = ;

ngOnInit() {
}

addTag () {
this.tags.push("");
console.log(this.tags)
}

removeTag (index) {
this.tags.splice(index, 1);
}

addTodo () {
console.log(this.todoDesc, this.tags)
}


Issue here is, it is not binding the input and array two way. When I log the array after updating inputs, the array displays items with all blank value.

  • You can use FormArray or even QuerySelector to do that. The second way is more easy to understand

  • @FaizanSaiyed That is actually correct. tags array is a blank value array. Can you provide a sample at stackblitz.

The issue is with Array whose changes are not being detected through reference. You can make the following changes -



html



<div class="row tagEntry" *ngFor="let tag of tags; let i = index; trackBy:trackIndex">
<div class="col-md-10">
<input type="text" placeholder="Tag Name" [(ngModel)]="tags[i]" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<button class="btn btn-block btn-danger" (click)="removeTag(i)"><i class="fa fa-trash"></i></button>
</div>
</div>


ts



Add the following function in ts file. This function is very important otherwise the array will re-build the complete UI on any change and you will loose the focus from the elememt.



trackIndex(index,item){
return index;
}


Here is the working copy - https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-pzdw6s
