Question

Hope someone can assist a new Angular user.

I am trying to Hide engineNumber Field when I select a specific value from VehicleType dropdown field. perhaps someone has a good trick.

I have tried a few ways but I could not succeed, maybe a set of fresh eyes could help.

I have tried going through documentation, tried a few different ways from different sources no luck

please see my Component html.

        </mat-label>
        <mat-select [formControl]="formVehicleType" [(value)]="riskValue.vehicleTypeId" required
          (selectionChange)="selectedVehicleChanged(riskValue.vehicleTypeId)">

Answer 1

formVehicleType.value retuen an id.So ngIf has to compare with an id.

 <div class="col-md-3" *ngIf="formVehicleType.value!=='INSERT SPECIFIC VALUES ID HERE'">
      <mat-form-field appearance="outline">
        <mat-label>
          <app-trans [phrase]="'Engine No.'"></app-trans>
        </mat-label>
        <input matInput type="text"  [(ngModel)]="riskValue.engineNumber" #ctrl="ngModel" [readonly]="readOnly" required>
      </mat-form-field>
    </div>

or Add (onSelectionChange)="changeInteraction(vehicleType)" to mat-option to check via strings

<div class="col-md-3" *ngIf="vehicleTypeWithIcons">
  <mat-form-field appearance="outline">
    <mat-label>
      <app-trans [phrase]="'Vehicle Type'"></app-trans>
    </mat-label>
    <mat-select [formControl]="formVehicleType" [(value)]="riskValue.vehicleTypeId" required>
      <mat-option *ngFor="let vehicleType of vehicleTypeWithIcons" [value]="vehicleType.id" (onSelectionChange)="changeInteraction(vehicleType)">
        <mat-icon><img src="{{vehicleType.iconImagePath}}"></mat-icon>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
        <!--{{vehicleType.description}}-->
        <app-trans [phrase]="vehicleType.description"></app-trans>
      </mat-option>
    </mat-select>
  </mat-form-field>
</div>

In TS File create a function

changeInteraction(vehicleType:any):any{
  this.selectedVehicleType = vehicleType.description
}

Add Condition to Engine No

 <div class="col-md-3" *ngIf="selectedVehicleType!=='INSERT SPECIFIC VALUES STRING HERE'">
      <mat-form-field appearance="outline">
        <mat-label>
          <app-trans [phrase]="'Engine No.'"></app-trans>
        </mat-label>
        <input matInput type="text"  [(ngModel)]="riskValue.engineNumber" #ctrl="ngModel" [readonly]="readOnly" required>
      </mat-form-field>
    </div>
