E046 - Forms Series Episode 1: Angular Formly

Developing on the web can potentially be reduced to inputs and outputs, and further, a snapshot of current inputs and outputs is the state of our application. Inputs often come in the form of user events, and one of the primary methods for users to provide input into our applications is through forms. Whether you love or hate forms, web developers have no way of escaping this critical input method.

In this episode of the Angular Show, our panelists are joined by two experts in the area of Angular and forms, Juri Strumpflohner and Bram Borggreve. Juri Strumpflohner is a Senior Software Engineer at Narwhal and Bram is a freelance developer and founder of BeeSoftLabs. Juri
and Bram are members of the Angular Formly core team that produces and maintains this open-source project.

While Angular ships with powerful form modules, Angular Formly builds on top of Angular's modules to provide an abstraction layer that enables developers to build robust and complex forms. One of the biggest advantages is the ability to dynamically and programmatically define form groups, arrays, and controls. Further, Angular Formly provides wrappers for control appearances based on several popular UI component libraries, such as Angular Material and Bootstrap, or you can create your own UI wrapper if necessary.
