I am aware that Angular 2 currently lacks a way to easily reset a form to a pristine state. Poking around I have found a solution like the one below that resets the form f
if anybody wants to clear out only a particular form control one can use
formSubmit(){
this.formName.patchValue({
formControlName:''
//or if one wants to change formControl to a different value on submit
formControlName:'form value after submission'
});
}
