Explain a bit more
✅ Examples: this.profileForm.reset(); myForm.resetForm(); You can also pass default values: this.profileForm.reset({ firstName: 'John', lastName: '' }); Summary Table: Concept Template-Driven Reactive Setup Use FormsModule, ngModel Use ReactiveFormsModule, FormGroup Validation Template-driven (HTML attrs) Programmatic with Validators Form Definition Implicit Explicit in TypeScript Custom Validation Limited Full control via functions Async Validation Not supported Supported with AsyncValidators Testing Harder Easier and more robust FormBuilder N/A Simplifies form creation Change Detection & Performance Optimization
Real-world example (ShopNest)
ShopNest admin can be built in Angular with modules/components, services for API calls, and reactive forms for product edit.
