Angular 2+: how to subscribe to form valueChanges of whitelisted fields?












1















I've a big form and would like to listen to the changes of 5 specific fields.



I can listend to the entire form:



this.form.valueChanges.subscribe(data => {
// do something, because any field changed
});


or to a single field:



this.form.get('my_single_field').valueChanges.subscribe(data => {
// do something, because my_single_field changed
});


Desired:



but I would like to have something like:



this.form.get(['field1', 'field5']).valueChanges.subscribe(data => {
// do something, because field1 or field5 changed
});


or:



this.form.valueChanges.subscribe(data, changedField => {
// do something, because changedField changed
});


Any idea? Thanks!

          Edit:



          You can add below function as prototype on Form.



          Previous:



          Use merge from rxjs. Function should be like this.



          function listenChangesOn(form,fields:string){
          return Observable.merge(fields.map(field=>form.get(field).valueChanges))
          }


          and can use like



          listenChangesOn(form,['field1','field2']).subscribe(a=>..)

            Thanks for your answer! I've put your solution in the ngOnInit(), but it fires only one time (on init). Could you please give me an example, wrapped in a class? Thank you!

          I faced a similar issue. I wanted to listen the entire form except one field, and solved by listening the entire form as you do, and inside the observer function put a conditional asking if this field is touched. Would be something like this:



          this.form.valueChanges.subscribe(data => {
          if (this.form.controls['field1'].touched) return;

          // do something, because any other field changed
          });


          Of course you can do the inverse way, by listening the specific fields you need.

            I faced a similar issue. I wanted to listen the entire form except one field, and solved by listening the entire form as you do, and inside the observer function put a conditional asking if this field is touched. Would be something like this:



            this.form.valueChanges.subscribe(data => {
            if (this.form.controls['field1'].touched) return;

            // do something, because any other field changed
            });


            Of course you can do the inverse way, by listening the specific fields you need.
