Angular 6 how to make all input's Not editable element inside a form
Disabled and not editable are not necessarily the same thing. A disabled input is of course also not editable, but it has a distinct appearance - greyed out and looks 'disabled'. A read-only input looks the same as a normal input, but is not editable. So you have to ask whether you want your controls actually disabled or just read-only.
If you just want read-only, you can simply use the readonly
property of <input>
and bind it to a variable in your controller. For example:
export class LeaseholderComponent implements OnInit, IFormDirtyWarningComponent {
@Input() editable: boolean = false; // doesn't have to be an @Input
...
}
<form [formGroup]="leaseholderForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
<mat-form-field>
<input matInput [readonly]="!editable" upperCaseInput placeholder="Nom d'usage" formControlName="lastName">
</mat-form-field>
...
</form>
Note that the editable
property doesn't need to be an @Input
, but that could be useful if you are using the form as a reusable component and need to make the editable/read-only decision at the DOM level.
For other components like radio buttons, where no readonly
property is available, you should probably rethink the layout. It might make more sense to use a different component to display the radio option in read-only mode, rather than the complete list of options. For example, use a label and value pair:
<div *ngIf="editable; else readonlyRadio" class="mat-radio-group-inverted">
<mat-radio-group formControlName="civility">
<mat-radio-button color="primary" value="MR">M.</mat-radio-button>
<mat-radio-button color="primary" value="MME">MME.</mat-radio-button>
</mat-radio-group>
</div>
<div #readonlyRadio>
<label>Civility</label>
<span>{{ leaseholderForm.controls['civility'].value }}</span>
</div>
If you are using reactive form you can achieve this programmatically like this (one-by-one approach):
this.formGroupName.controls[controlNmae].disable();
Eg: this.formGroupName.controls['lastName'].disable()
To disable all at once:
this.formGroupName.disable()
In your case do: this.leaseholderForm.disable()
And to turn it back do: this.leaseholderForm.enable()
What you can do is create a function like this and call it after you have called createLeaseholderForm()
:
disableForm() {
this.leaseholderForm.disable()
}

Since disabled attribute doesn't work on some components, what I did is - I set the pointer-events:none on the css to cover all the components inside the div content.
Here's my CSS code:
.disabledDiv {
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0.4; }
Here's my HTML:
<div class="content-area" [ngClass]="{disabledDiv: !isActiveDiv}">
<!-- other components here (input/select/etc.) -->
<div>
And on my TS:
editData() {
this.isActiveDiv = true;
}
