I have a form in my angular 2 Project.

I know how to Retrieve data from the API. But don't know how to Perform a CRUD operation in there.

Can anybody help me with the simple codes on How to Send form data in JSON format to a Web Service in PHP/Any other Language...

In Angular 2+ we handle forms two ways:

  • Template-driven
  • Reactive

Here I am sharing code for simple template-driven forms. If you want to do it using reactive forms then check this link: Angular2 reactive form confirm equality of values

Your module file should have these:

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic'
import { ReactiveFormsModule, FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { MyApp } from './components'

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule
  ],
  declarations: [MyApp],
  bootstrap: [MyApp]
})
export class MyAppModule {

}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(MyAppModule)

Simple registration html file:

<form #signupForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="registerUser(signupForm)">
  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input type="text" name="email" id="email" ngModel>

  <label for="password">Password</label>
  <input type="password" name="password" id="password" ngModel>

  <button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
</form>

Now your registration.ts file should be like this:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgForm } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'register-form',
  templateUrl: 'app/register-form.component.html',
})
export class RegisterForm {
  registerUser(form: NgForm) {
    console.log(form.value);
    // {email: '...', password: '...'}
    // ... <-- now use JSON.stringify() to convert form values to json.
  }
}

To handle this data on server side use this link: How to post json object with Http.post (Angular 2) (php server side). I think this is more than sufficient.
