My form group structure looks like this (order.component.ts):
this.orderForm = this.formBuilder.group({
customer: this.formBuilder.group({
name: ['', Validators.required],
phone: ['', Validators.required],
email: ['', Validators.required]
}),
...
});
In the template (order.component.html) I have:
<form [formGroup]="orderForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
<fieldset formGroupName="customer">
<legend>Customer Information</legend>
<label for="name">Full name:</label>
<input type="text" formControlName="name" class="form-control" name="name" id="name" required>
<small class="form-text text-danger" *ngIf="orderForm.controls['customer'].controls['name'].invalid && (orderForm.controls['customer'].controls['name'].dirty || orderForm.controls['customer'].controls['name'].touched)">Name invalid</small>
</fieldset>
...
</form>
This works, but is a shorter way of expressing orderForm.controls['customer'].controls['name']
? For example it would be more succinct for the *ngIf condition to be "name.invalid && (name.dirty || name.touched)"
