how to setvalue in formbuilder array

Question

I have a problem about set array value to formBuilder.array. In the formBuilder that not array it can use this way to setValue but in formBuilder.array I can't do it. I try set value to formbuilder 'listServiceFeature' and 'listservicefeature' but it's not set value either way.

ts

listServiceFeature: any = ['m1', 'm2']

contentFormValidate(): void {

  this.contentForm = this.formBuilder.group({
          'listservicefeature': this.formBuilder.array([
              this.formBuilder.group({
                 listServiceFeature: ['', [Validators.required]
              });
          ]),
  });

  this.contentForm.controls['listservicefeature'].setValue(this.listServiceFeature);
}


addServiceFeature() {
    const control = <FormArray>this.contentForm.controls['listservicefeature'];
    control.push(this.initServiceFeature());
}

removeServiceFeature(i: number) {
    const control = <FormArray>this.contentForm.controls['listservicefeature'];
    control.removeAt(i);
}

html

<div formArrayName="listservicefeature">
  <div class="form-group" *ngFor="let servicefeature of contentForm.controls.listservicefeature.controls; let i=index">
    <label for="Service">Features {{i+1}}</label>
    <div class="input-group" [formGroupName]="i">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" formControlName="listServiceFeature">
        <template [ngIf]="i == 0">
            <span class="input-group-btn">
            <button (click)="addServiceFeature()" class="btn btn-default" type="button">
            <span class="lnr lnr-plus-circle icon-orange-gable-buttom"></span>
            </button>
            </span>
        </template>
        <template [ngIf]="i > 0">
            <span class="input-group-btn">
            <button (click)="removeServiceFeature(i)" class="btn btn-default" type="button">
            <span class="lnr lnr-trash icon-orange-gable-buttom"></span>
            </button>
            </span>
        </template>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

It looks to me like what you want to do is to add a control to the formArray. Take a look at the documentation for reactive-forms

https://angular.io/guide/reactive-forms

quote:

Notice that you replace the previous FormArray with the FormGroup.setControl method, not with setValue. You're replacing a control, not the value of a control.

in the documentation they do like this: 1) Add a getter as shortcut to the formArray:

 get listservicefeatures(): FormArray {
    return this.contentform.get('listservicefeature') as FormArray;
  };

2) create an add method that would look like this:

addServiceFeature()  {
this.listservicefeatures.push(this.fb.group({newservicefeature: 'defaultvalue', [Validators.required]}));
}

also your inital declaration of the formArray should probably look like this:

this.contentForm = this.formBuilder.group({
          'listservicefeature': this.formBuilder.array([]),
  });

I hope this helps :)
