Angular Reactive Forms
Angular Reactive Forms is a model-driven approach to handling form inputs and validation in Angular applications. It uses reactive programming patterns with RxJS observables to manage form state, enabling complex form logic, dynamic form controls, and real-time validation. This approach provides fine-grained control over form data flow and is ideal for scenarios requiring programmatic manipulation of forms.
Developers should use Angular Reactive Forms when building complex, dynamic forms with real-time validation, conditional logic, or integration with external data streams. It's particularly useful for enterprise applications, multi-step wizards, or forms that require programmatic control, such as adding/removing fields dynamically. Reactive Forms offer better scalability and testability compared to template-driven forms for these advanced use cases.
