The task is to add an input field on the page when the user clicks on the button using AngularJs.

Steps:

  • The required component for the operation is created (add-inputComponent).
  • In that component, html file (add-input.component.html) required html is written.
  • In that HTML, the main div for input fields are there and button is created.
  • There is a (click) event on ADD button that redirects on the working user defined function in add-input.component.ts.
  • In the user defined function, the createElement() method is used to create a division every time the user clicks on the button and innerHTML() property is used to make an input field.
  • Then the created element div is append to the main div of add-input.component.html by appendChild() method.

Below is the implementation of above steps:
app.module.ts




// Necessary imports of component is done
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { AddInputComponent } from './add-input/add-input.component';
  
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    AddInputComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }


add-input.component.html




<!-- Main div and ADD button is created -->
<center>
  CLICK ON BUTTON TO ADD NEW FIELD
  <div class="showInputField"></div>
  
  <!-- The add() function is called -->
  <button (click)="add()">ADD</button>
</center>


add-input.component.ts




// The class function add() is made that contains
// the necessary code for the action
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-add-input',
  templateUrl: './add-input.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./add-input.component.css']
})
export class AddInputComponent implements OnInit {
  
  constructor() { }
  
  ngOnInit(): void {
  }
  add(){
    let row = document.createElement('div');  
      row.className = 'row';
      row.innerHTML = `
      <br>
      <input type="text">`;
      document.querySelector('.showInputField').appendChild(row);
  }
}


Output:
