How to Conditionally Disable a Material Checkbox in Angular 10

In today's guide, we are addressing a common scenario faced by many developers working with Angular and Angular Material: conditionally disabling a checkbox based on user input. In this case, we will illustrate how to disable a Material checkbox until the user provides a specific input.

The Problem

Imagine you are building an Angular application that requires user input through a form, particularly with radio buttons. In this example, we have a radio button where the checkbox should only become interactive once the user has entered a value. The requirement is clear: the checkbox associated with a radio button should be disabled until a user enters text into an input field adjacent to the radio button.

Example Scenario:

Here, the challenge is how to manage the state of the radio button. We need a way to ensure that the radio button does not become selectable until there is a value in the location4 input field.

The Solution

The solution to this problem is straightforward: we can use Angular's built-in data binding capabilities to bind the disabled attribute of the mat-radio-button to the presence of a value in the input field.

Step-by-step Implementation:

Modify the MatRadioButton Code:
To make the radio button dependent on the input field, we will add the [disabled] property binding to the mat-radio-button. The expression will check whether location4.value is falsy (null, empty string, or undefined).

Here’s how the modified radio button code looks:

In this code, !location4.value will evaluate to true if there’s no value in the location4 input field, effectively disabling the button.

Handle Input Changes:
Since we are using two-way data binding via ngModel with the input field, Angular automatically updates location4.value whenever the user types something. This means our radio button will enable itself when the input field contains a valid value.

Update the onRadioChange Method:
Make sure that your onRadioChange method correctly handles cases where an application can be selected only when valid input is provided. Here's the method provided in your question for reference:

Summary

By applying a simple but powerful property binding, you can effectively control when your mat-radio-button should be enabled or disabled based on user input. This approach not only enhances user experience but also ensures that your application behaves predictably.

Final Thoughts

This technique can be adapted to various similar scenarios in Angular applications. Always remember to utilize Angular's powerful data binding features to manage state efficiently!
