How do I use forms and data binding in Angular?

In Angular, you can use reactive forms or template-driven forms for data binding. Which one would you like to learn about?

Can you explain the difference between reactive forms and template-driven forms?

Sure! Reactive forms are more scalable and provide more control, while template-driven forms are simpler and easier for basic use cases.

How do I create a simple reactive form?

To create a reactive form, you need to import ReactiveFormsModule, then use FormGroup and FormControl to build your form structure.

Can you show me a code example?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormGroup, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-my-form',
  templateUrl: './my-form.component.html'
})
export class MyFormComponent {
  myForm: FormGroup;

  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.myForm = this.fb.group({
      name: [''],
      email: ['']
    });
  }
}

This sets up a basic form with name and email fields.
