Angular：带有 ControlValueAccessor 的自定义输入

Question

I'm not sure how can I use a custom component if it's wrapper under another component.

Like:

ComponentA_withForm
|
--ComponentA1_withWrapperOfCustomInput
  |
  --ComponentA11_withCustomInput

if I have a structure like this:

ComponentA_withForm
|
--ComponentA11_withCustomInput

Everything's fine

But for my case (tons of async data) I need a wrapper... Is it possible somehow to do this?

Here is my fiddle code:

ComponentA:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `<form [formGroup]="form"><custom-input-wrapper formControlName="someInput"></custom-input-wrapper></form> <p>value is: {{formVal | json}}</p>`
})
export class AppComponent {
  form = this.fb.group({
    someInput: [],
  });

  get formVal() {
    return this.form.getRawValue();
  }

  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) { }
}

ComponentA1:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'custom-input-wrapper',
  template: '<custom-input></custom-input>',
})
export class CustomInputWrapperComponent {
  constructor() { }
}

ComponentA11:

import { Component, forwardRef } from '@angular/core';
import { ControlValueAccessor, NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'custom-input',
  template: `Hey there! <button (click)="inc()">Value: {{ value }}</button>`,
  providers: [{
    provide: NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR,
    useExisting: forwardRef(() => CustomInputComponent),
    multi: true,
  }],
})
export class CustomInputComponent implements ControlValueAccessor {

  private value = 0;

  writeValue(value: number): void {
    this.value = value;
  }

  registerOnChange(fn: (_: any) => void): void {
    this.onChangeFn = fn;
  }

  registerOnTouched(fn: any): void {
  }

  inc() {
    this.value = this.value + 1;
    this.onChangeFn(this.value);
  }

  onChangeFn = (_: any) => { };
}

And here I have a working sample: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-qmrj3a

so: basically removing & refactoring code not to use CustomInputWrapperComponent makes my code working. But I need this wrapper and I'm not sure how to pass formControlName then.

I don't want a dirty solution with passing parent formGroup :)

Answer 1

Since you don't want a dirty solution ;) , you could just implement ControlValueAccessor in the CustomInputWrapperComponent also. That way any change in the parent will be reflected in the child, any change in the child will be reflected in the parent as well with just few lines of code.

Wrapper Component

@Component({
  selector: 'custom-input-wrapper',
  template: '<custom-input [formControl]="value"></custom-input>',
  providers: [{
    provide: NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR,
    useExisting: forwardRef(() => CustomInputWrapperComponent),
    multi: true,
  }]
})
export class CustomInputWrapperComponent implements AfterViewInit, ControlValueAccessor  {
  public value = new FormControl();

  constructor() { }

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.value.valueChanges.subscribe((x) => {
      this.onChangeFn(x);
    });
  }

  writeValue(value: number): void {
    this.value.setValue(value);
  }

  registerOnChange(fn: (_: any) => void): void {
    this.onChangeFn = fn;
  }

  registerOnTouched(fn: any): void {
  }

 onChangeFn = (_: any) => { };
}

Parent Template

<form [formGroup]="form"><custom-input-wrapper formControlName="someInput"></custom-input-wrapper></form> <p>value is: {{formVal | json}}</p>

Answer 2

you cannot use formControlName on custom-input-wrapper because it doesn't implement ControlValueAccessor . implementing ControlValueAccessor on custom-input-wrapper might be a solution but it seems to be overkill. Instead pass the control from formGroup to custom-input-wrapper as an @Input() and pass the inputed formControl to custom-input

app.component

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `<form [formGroup]="form"><custom-input-wrapper [formCtrl]="form.get('someInput')"></custom-input-wrapper></form> <p>value is: {{formVal | json}}</p>`
})
export class AppComponent {
  form = this.fb.group({
    someInput: [],
  });

  get formVal() {
    return this.form.getRawValue();
  }

  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) { }
}

custom-input-wrapper.component

@Component({
  selector: 'custom-input-wrapper',
  template: '<custom-input [formControl]="formCtrl"></custom-input>',
})
export class CustomInputWrapperComponent {
  @Input() formCtrl: AbstractControl;
  constructor() { }
}
