How to reset Angular form when login fails


I need to reset some inputs that I use to store the login PIN from a user, I have a service that generate a modal with an error message, and I'm able to clean the user name field, but not the inputs that I use to store de PIN, which are under the #inputs id. Please check my code below.

HTML

      <form class="form-horizontal form-material" id="loginForm" ngNaviteValidate #form="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="logIn(); loginForm.reset()">
    <a class="text-center db"><img src="../assets/images/LOGO.png" style="width: 52%;" alt="Home" /></a>
    <div class="form-group m-t-40">
      <div class="col-xs-12">
          <h4>USUARIO</h4>
          <input class="form-control" id="userName" type="text" placeholder="Nombre de usuario" [(ngModel)]="login.username"
          [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" required>
      <br>
      <br>
             <h4>PIN</h4>
          <div class="inputs form-control" id="inputs">
            <input maxlength="2" placeholder="•" value="" type="password" id="pinOne" [(ngModel)]="password[0]"
            [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" required>
            <input maxlength="2" placeholder="•" value="" type="password" id="pinTwo" [(ngModel)]="password[1]"
            [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" required>
            <input maxlength="2" placeholder="•" value="" type="password" id="pinThree" [(ngModel)]="password[2]"
            [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" required>
            <input maxlength="2" placeholder="•" value="" type="password" id="pinFour" [(ngModel)]="password[3]"
            [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" required>
            <input maxlength="2" placeholder="•" value="" type="password" id="pinFive" [(ngModel)]="password[4]"
            [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" required>
            <input maxlength="1" placeholder="•" value="" type="password" id="pinSix" [(ngModel)]="password[5]"
            [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" required>
          </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group text-center m-t-20">
      <div class="col-xs-12">
        <button class="btn btn-info btn-md btn-block text-uppercase btn-rounded"
          type="submit">Ingresar</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </form>

Component.ts

  logIn() {
this.login.password = this.concatPassword(this.password);
this.authService.login(this.login)
.subscribe(res => {
  if (!res.ok) {
    // This clean the username but not the PIN
    this.login.username = '';
    this.login.password = '';
    this.password = [];
  } else {
    this.messageWelcome(res.user);
  }
})

}

How should I reset those input fields?


Solution

  • you can use NgForm resetForm method to reset the form value and this will reset all form elements.

    import { Component,ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
    import { NgForm} from '@angular/forms';
    
    ...
    
    @ViewChild("form") form: NgForm; // get reference of the NgForm directive
    
    logIn() {
     // const tempPass = this.password; 
     this.login.password = this.concatPassword(this.password);
     this.authService.login(this.login)
     .subscribe(res => {
       if (!res.ok) {
        this.from.resetForm(); //👈
        // you don't need to reset the login manually 💥 
        // this.login.username = ''; 
        // this.login.password = '';
        // this.password = []; 
      } else {
        this.messageWelcome(res.user);
      }
    });
    }
    

    you need to remove this option [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" and set the name attribute
