Template-based forms

As explained in Modern Angular

A template-driven form is an Angular form whose controls and validation are primarily configured through template directives and bindings.

Template-based forms configure controls through template directives and bindings. A login page uses ngModel to keep email and password credentials synchronized, while FormsModule supplies the directive to a standalone component. section 2.3.1

A practical standalone implementation requires:

  • Import FormsModule in the component metadata rather than declaring it through an NgModule. section 2.3.1

Standalone HRMS login

A standalone LoginComponent imports FormsModule, binds email and password inputs to credentials, warns when either value is missing, and calls an authentication service on submission.

How Modern Angular covers it

How deep it goes
Demonstrates template bindings, standalone imports, conditional feedback, and service submission without detailing validation internals.
Examples
Uses an HRMS login form with email and password fields, required-field feedback, and an authentication service.
What it assumes
Assumes familiarity with Angular components and templates while showing how standalone components import FormsModule directly.
What you can do after
Apply it via Angular template directives to build a standalone login form with bound credentials and service-backed submission.
How it connects
Links ngModel with FormsModule, standalone components, NgModule interoperability, conditional rendering, and HTTP services.
