DevExtreme Angular - Overview

The Form widget represents fields of a data object as a collection of label-editor pairs. These pairs can be arranged in several groups, tabs and columns.

The following code adds the Form widget to your page. The simplest configuration of this widget includes only a data object.

jQuery
HTML
JavaScript
<div id="formContainer"></div>
$(function() {
    $("#formContainer").dxForm({
        formData: {
            firstName: "John",
            lastName: "Heart",
            position: "CEO",
            officeNo: 901,
            birthDate: new Date(1964, 3, 15),
            hireDate: new Date(2012, 4, 13),
            city: "Los Angeles",
            phone: "+1(213) 555-9392",
            email: "jheart@dx-email.com"
        }
    });
});
Angular
HTML
TypeScript
<dx-form
    [(formData)]="employee">
</dx-form>
import { DxFormModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    employee = {
        firstName: "John",
        lastName: "Heart",
        position: "CEO",
        officeNo: 901,
        birthDate: new Date(1964, 3, 15),
        hireDate: new Date(2012, 4, 13),
        city: "Los Angeles",
        phone: "+1(213) 555-9392",
        email: "jheart@dx-email.com"
    }
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxFormModule
    ],
    // ...
})

The configuration above creates one label-editor pair per each field of the data object. Such a pair is called "simple item". Simple items can be organized in groups, tabs and columns.
