You may get this error while using reactive Forms in Angular
Lets look at the code which caused this error .

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

import { FormControl , FormGroup} from '@angular/forms';

@Component({

  selector: 'app-status',

  templateUrl: './status.component.html',

  styleUrls: ['./status.component.css']

})

export class StatusComponent implements OnInit {

  statusForm = new FormGroup(

    {

      fname : new FormControl('')

    }

  );

  

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {

  }

  updateStatus() {

     

  }

}

<p>   {{statusForm.fname}} </p>

<form [formGroup]="statusForm">

<label>

  First Name 

  <input type="text"  formControlName="fname">

Second Name 

  <input type="text"  formControlName="sname">

</label>

 

</form>

You can see we have two form controls in the HTML but only one form control in Controller .



Lets fix this error . We need to add another FormControl to a FormGroup .

The working code is as below .

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

import { FormControl , FormGroup} from '@angular/forms';

@Component({

  selector: 'app-status',

  templateUrl: './status.component.html',

  styleUrls: ['./status.component.css']

})

export class StatusComponent implements OnInit {

  statusForm = new FormGroup(

    {

      fname : new FormControl(''),

       sname : new FormControl('')

    }

  );

  

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {

  }

  updateStatus() {

     

  }

}

Hope this helps . Thanks !

To fix this error add RectiveFormsModule in the inports array .

@NgModule({

  imports:      [ BrowserModule, FormsModule ,ReactiveFormsModule ],

  declarations: [ AppComponent, HelloComponent, StatusComponent ],

  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]

})

export class AppModule { }

JSX expressions must have one parent element.

Hi Guys ,


This blog is about the error " JSX expressions must have one parent element.

Let's look at the erroneous code .

import React from 'react';

export default ({ name }) => <h1>Hello {name}!</h1>

<input type="text" placeholder="enter asset"/>;

You can see there are two elements <h1> and <input> .
The error is because react does not allow multiple component as a parent component . To fix this issue we can put the two elements under single parent component , like a <div> .

Let's fix the code .

import React from 'react';

export default ({ name }) => <div><h1>Hello {name}!</h1>

<input type="text" placeholder="enter asset"/>  </div>;

The error is gone . Hope this helps , Thanks !

add firebase to angular

Hi Everyone ,

This blog is about how we can add firebase to angular and access the database .

Install firebase and @angular/fire using npm .

npm i @angular/fire

npm i firebase

Create a file in src/environments/environment/ts

export const environment = {

  production: false,

  

  firebase:{

    apiKey: "your api key",

    authDomain: "test-15b0a.firebaseapp.com",

    databaseURL: "https://test-15b0a.firebaseio.com",

    projectId: "your project id ",

    storageBucket: "test-15b0a.appspot.com",

    messagingSenderId: "846752590782",

    appId: "1:846752590782:web:cdfb301f4daf4448"

Target container is not a DOM element.

Hi Guys ,

 The full error in the console log is as follows :

Invariant Violation: Target container is not a DOM element.

Lets see the erroneous code .

HTML code

<div id="root"></div>

and javascript :

render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));

To fix this update the render function and specify the id of the HTML element . The working code is as follows :

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Hops this helps .
Thanks !
