FormlyFieldConfig

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
asyncValidatorsFormlyValidation<AsyncValidatorFn\|Promise\|Observable>Use this one for anything that needs to validate asynchronously.
Pretty much exactly the same as the validators api, except it must be a function that returns a promise.
classNamestringYou can specify your own class that will be applied to the formly-field component.
defaultValueanyUse defaultValue to initialize it the model. If this is provided and the value of the model at compile-time is undefined, then the value of the model will be assigned to defaultValue.
expressionPropertiesliteral typeAn object where the key is a property to be set on the main field config and the value is an expression used to assign that property.
expressionsFieldExpressionsAn object where the key is a property to be set on the main field config and the value is an expression used to assign that property.
fieldArrayFormlyFieldConfig
fieldGroupFormlyFieldConfig[]A field group is a way to group fields together, making advanced layout very simple.
It can also be used to group fields that are associated with the same model (useful if it's different than the model for the rest of the fields).
fieldGroupClassNamestringSpecify your own class that will be applied to the formly-group component.
focusbooleanWhether to focus or blur the element field. Defaults to false. If you wish this to be conditional use expressions
formFormGroup|FormArrayThe parent form.
formControlAbstractControlThis is the FormControl for the field.
It provides you more control like running validators, calculating status, and resetting state.
getfunctionReturns child field by key name
hidebooleanWhether to hide the field. Defaults to false. If you wish this to be conditional use expressions: { hide: ... }
hideExpressionboolean|stringConditionally hiding Field based on values from other Fields
hooksFormlyHookConfig
idstringThis allows you to specify the id of your field. Note, the id is generated if not set.
keystring|number|(string|number)[]The key that relates to the model. This will link the field value to the model
modelanyThe model that stores all the data, where the model[key] is the value of the field
modelOptionsliteral typeAn object with a few useful properties to control the model changes

  • debounce: integer value which contains the debounce model update value in milliseconds. A value of 0 triggers an immediate update.

  • updateOn: string event value that instructs when the control should be updated


namestringIf you wish, you can specify a specific name for your field. This is useful if you're posting the form to a server using techniques of yester-year.
optionsFormlyFormOptionsThe form options.
optionsTypesstring[]
parentFormlyFieldConfigThe parent field.
parsers(function)[]Array of functions to execute, as a pipeline, whenever the model updates, usually via user input.
propsPropsThis is reserved for the templates. Any template-specific options go in here. Look at your specific template implementation to know the options required for this.
resetOnHidebooleanWhether to reset the value on hide or not. Defaults to true.
templatestringCan be set instead of type to render custom html content.
templateOptionsFormlyTemplateOptions
typestring|Type<FieldType>This should be a formly-field type added either by you or a plugin. More information over at Creating Formly Fields.
validationliteral typeAn object with a few useful properties

  • validation.messages: A map of message names that will be displayed when the field has errors.

  • validation.show: A boolean you as the developer can set to force displaying errors whatever the state of field. This is useful when you're trying to call the user's attention to some fields for some reason.


validatorsFormlyValidation<ValidatorFn\|boolean>Used to set validation rules for a particular field.
Should be an object of key - value pairs. The value can either be an expression to evaluate or a function to run.
Each should return a boolean value, returning true when the field is valid. See Validation for more information.
wrappers(string|Type<FieldWrapper>It is expected to be the name of the wrappers.
The formly field template will be wrapped by the first wrapper, then the second, then the third, etc.
You can also specify these as part of a type (which is the recommended approach).
