[Angualr 2] Watch for changes

You can watch for form / control changes by using .valueChanges.observe({...}):

        this.sku.valueChanges.observer({
            next: (value)=>{
                console.log("sku has changed to: " , value);
            }
        })
        
        this.myForm.valueChanges.observer({
            next: (value)=>{
                console.log("form has change to: ",value);
            }
        })

 

 

Code:

import {Component, View, FORM_DIRECTIVES, Validators, FormBuilder, NgIf} from 'angular2/angular2';

@Component({
    selector: 'demo-form-sku'
})
@View({
    directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES, NgIf],
    template: `
       <div>
        <h2>Demo Form: Sku</h2>
        <!-- ngForm is attched to the form, and #f="form" form is also come from ngForm-->
        <form [ng-form-model]="myForm"
        (submit)="onSubmit(myForm.value)">
            <div class="form-group" [class.has-error]="!sku.valid && sku.touched">
                <label for="skuInput">SKU</label>
                <input type="text"
                class="form-control"
                id="skuInput"
                #sku = "form"
                placeholder="SKU"
                [ng-form-control]="myForm.controls['sku']">
            </div>
            <div *ng-if="!sku.control.valid"
               class="bg-warning">SKU is invalid</div>
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit
            </button>
            <div *ng-if="sku.control.hasError('invalidSku')">
                SKU is required
            </div>

        </form>
        <div *ng-if="!myForm.valid"
              class="bg-warning">Form is invalid</div>
       </div>
    `
})

export class DemoFormSku {
    myForm: ControlGroup;
    constructor(fb:FormBuilder) {
        this.myForm = fb.group({
            "sku": ["", Validators.compose([

                skuValidator
            ])]
        });
        this.sku = this.myForm.controls['sku'];

            }
        })

            }
        })
    }
