Dynamically Calculate Price, Quantity, and VAT in Angular 7 Form Arrays

Managing forms in Angular can be quite the task, especially when you want to dynamically add elements while also ensuring accurate calculations like price, quantity, and VAT for each service. In this guide, we will walk through how to achieve this functionality using Angular 7 and FormArrays.

The Challenge

You might be working on an application that involves generating invoices or similar forms where users need to input variable services. Each service would typically allow users to enter values for:

Price

Quantity

VAT

The goal is to calculate the total for each service based on these inputs, while keeping everything reactive. Whenever a user changes any of the fields, the total should update automatically without requiring a page refresh. The initial concern here was how to access these individual values and compute the total correctly within an Angular FormArray.

The Solution

To solve the problem effectively, we need to listen to value changes in the FormArray and perform calculations whenever there's an update. Below are the steps necessary to achieve this.

Step 1: Setting Up Your FormArray

First, you need to ensure your FormArray is set up correctly in your Angular component. Here’s an example of how to define your reactive form:

Step 2: Listening to Changes in the FormArray

Using the valueChanges observable, we can listen to any changes within the service FormArray. Here’s how you can implement this:

Step 3: Integrate the Total Calculation with the Form

To make sure that the total is updated dynamically, call the calculateTotal method after initializing your form or implementing any service add feature:

Summary of Steps

Set up your FormArray with necessary controls (price, quantity, vat, total).

Subscribe to value changes on the FormArray and implement calculation logic.

Update the total in the corresponding field whenever there are changes in any service.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can create a dynamic form that allows users to input multiple services while automatically calculating and updating the totals for each service in Angular 7. This setup not only enhances user experience but also leverages the power of Angular's reactive forms.
