Setting values of input fields with Angular 6

Question

I\'ve ran into some trouble setting the value of an input element using Angular.

I\'m trying to set the value of dynamically created input elements in my application

As an alternate you can use reactive forms. Here is an example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-pqb2xx

Template

  Global Price: 
  Apply to all
  
    

  

       
{{orderLine.time | date}}
       
{{orderLine.quantity}}
       

    

  

Component

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormGroup, FormControl, FormArray } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent  {
  name = 'Angular 6';
  mainForm: FormGroup;
  orderLines = [
    {price: 10, time: new Date(), quantity: 2},
    {price: 20, time: new Date(), quantity: 3},
    {price: 30, time: new Date(), quantity: 3},
    {price: 40, time: new Date(), quantity: 5}
    ]
  constructor() {
    this.mainForm = this.getForm();
  }

  getForm(): FormGroup {
    return new FormGroup({
      globalPrice: new FormControl(),
      orderLines: new FormArray(this.orderLines.map(this.getFormGroupForLine))
    })
  }

  getFormGroupForLine(orderLine: any): FormGroup {
    return new FormGroup({
      price: new FormControl(orderLine.price)
    })
  }

  applyPriceToAll() {
    const formLines = this.mainForm.get('orderLines') as FormArray;
    const globalPrice = this.mainForm.get('globalPrice').value;
    formLines.controls.forEach(control => control.get('price').setValue(globalPrice));
    // optionally recheck value and validity without emit event.
  }

  submitForm() {

  }
}
