Nathan Rozentals has been writing commercial software for over 30 years, in C, C++, Java and C#. He picked up TypeScript within a week after its initial release in October 2012 and realized how much TypeScript could help when writing JavaScript. He was one of the first people to start blogging about TypeScript, discussing early frameworks such as Backbone, Marionette, ExtJS and AngularJs. He knew he'd hit the mark when Microsoft staff started to reference his blog posts in their CodePlex discussion forums. Nathan's TypeScript solutions now control User Interfaces in IoT devices, run as stand-alone applications for Point-of-Sale solutions, provide complex application configuration web sites, and are used for mission-critical server APIs.

Angular forms

When building single-page applications, we will often need a user to input data of some sort using a form. Angular uses a two-way data binding process to bind values that are entered on a form to variables within a component itself. This process is two-way, as Angular will take care of synchronizing what is shown in the DOM with the member variables of a component. So if we change a value programmatically within our code, this value will be updated in the HTML. Similarly, when a user modifies the HTML values, these values will automatically update our class member variables.

Angular actually has two different methods of creating two-way data binding forms. The first method is named template forms, which allows us to bind an input control directly to a property on our class, as follows:

<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="name" /> 

Here, we have an input control within our HTML template, which is using the [(ngModel)] attribute with...
