formGroup in angular code example

Example 1: formgroup addcontrol

let form: FormGroup = new FormGroup({});
form.addControl(field_name, new FormControl('', Validators.required));

Example 2: update formgroup value angular

To set all FormGroup values use, setValue:

this.myFormGroup.setValue({
  formControlName1: myValue1, 
  formControlName2: myValue2
});
To set only some values, use patchValue:

this.myFormGroup.patchValue({

this.myForm = this.fb.group({
  name: ['', [Validators.required]],
  contacts: this.fb.group({
    email: ['', [Validators.email]],
  })

<form [formGroup]="myForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
<mat-grid-list cols="2" rowHeight="85px">
<!-- name -->
<mat-grid-tile>
