Why do I keep getting this error? I think I'm doing everything right?
"EXCEPTION: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: value.forEach is not a function TypeError: value.forEach is not a function at FormArray.setValue"
Component Class:
jobDetails: FormGroup;
techFormArray: FormArray;
constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder){
this.techFormArray = new FormArray([
new FormControl(''),
new FormControl(''),
new FormControl('')
]);
this.jobDetails = this.formBuilder.group({
techs: this.formBuilder.array([])
});
this.jobDetails.setValue({
techs: this.techFormArray
});
}
HTML:
<form [formGroup]="jobDetails">
<div formArrayName="techs" >
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column">
<div *ngFor="let tech of techFormArray.controls; let i=index">
<md-checkbox [formControlName]="i">
{{i}}
</md-checkbox>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
SOLUTION:
FunStuff had it right, I couldn't use setValue.... so I removed it. Problem solved lol. I changed around a few things, and I'm not sure exactly what I did, it was essentially brute-force trial and error for hours, but then it worked! :)
Here's the working version!
jobDetails: FormGroup;
constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder){
this.jobDetails = formBuilder.group({
techs: formBuilder.array([
formBuilder.control(''),
formBuilder.control('')
])
});
}
New HTML:
<form [formGroup]="jobDetails">
<div formArrayName="techs" >
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column">
<div *ngFor="let tech of jobDetails.controls.techs.controls; let i=index">
<md-checkbox [formControlName]="i">
{{i}}
</md-checkbox>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
The setValue method takes simple values:
this.techFormArray = new FormArray([
new FormControl(''),
new FormControl(''),
new FormControl('')
]);
this.jobDetails = this.formBuilder.group({
techs: this.techFormArray
});
this.jobDetails.setValue({
techs: ['a', 'b', 'c']
});
