Introduction

In the world of Angular development, particularly when using libraries like Formly, handling component updates can sometimes be tricky. One common challenge developers face is capturing change events in custom components—such as toggles. This guide will walk you through a specific scenario using the Angular Formly 5.10.3 library and Ionic toggles, addressing a query on how to effectively catch the change event for a toggle designed with two labels.

The Problem

A developer had created a custom template for a toggle switch with two labels using Angular Formly and Ionic. Despite implementing onChange and change event handlers in the template options, they found that the desired functionality to catch the changes was not working. The concern was whether the issue stemmed from not having a value associated with the custom toggle and how to correctly bind and listen for changes.

The Solution

The resolution entailed switching the focus from the typical onChange and change event handlers to the ionChange event provided by Ionic, which directly links to the toggle's state changes. Below, we break down the steps to effectively capture the change event.

Step-by-Step Implementation

1. Update the Custom Template

First, modify the toggle component template to include the ionChange event. Here's the revised custom template code:

2. Adding Input to Form

Incorporate the updated toggle component within your form. Here's a simplified snippet demonstrating how to structure the input configuration:

3. Explanation of the Changes

In the modified template:

The isonChange handler is added to the <ion-toggle>, which updates the form control value based on the toggle's state.

Using field.formControl.valueChanges.subscribe, you can now effectively listen for changes to the toggle's state and perform necessary actions accordingly.

Conclusion

By utilizing the Ionic framework's ionChange event in your Angular Formly custom toggles, you can successfully monitor and respond to changes in toggle states. This approach provides a refined mechanism to ensure that your forms behave as expected, enhancing the overall user experience in your Angular applications.

With these clear steps, you're now better equipped to handle toggle changes in your forms, thus making your development process smoother and more efficient. If you have any further queries or need additional guidance, feel free to reach out!
