I'm new to Angular, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. I'm trying to get a created list in a dropdown and when the user selects it it should log the information into the database.
This is my code: Component.html
<mat-form-field appearance="fill"> <mat-label>Retrieval Reason</mat-label> <mat-select [formControl]="RR" required> <mat-option>--</mat-option> <mat-option *ngFor="let reason of reasons" [value]="reason"> {{reason.reason}} </mat-option> </mat-select> <mat-error *ngIf="RR.hasError('required')">Please choose a reason</mat-error> </mat-form-field> <button mat-raised-button (click)="done()" color="primary" [disabled]="selection.selected.length === 0 || RR.hasError('required')" > Retrieve </button>
Component.ts
retrievalReason: Reasons; RR = new FormControl('', Validators.required); reasons: Reasons[] = [ {reason: 'Cycle Count'}, {reason: 'Purge Request'}, {reason: 'Picking'},]; done() { this.dialogRef.close({ carrier: this.carrier, destination: this.selection.selected[0].dstId, retrievalReason: this.RR.get('reasons').value, }); }
I looked up Angular methods for reading values from dropdowns and tried different variable names but nothing has worked so far.
I think the only thing that might be wrong is if you try
retrievalReason: this.RR.get('reasons').value
but that's to get the form control of the form.You only have one form control, so just
retrievalReason:this.RR.value
is enough.
