Issue disabling inputs using FormControl and mdb-form-contro


Topic: Issue disabling inputs using FormControl and mdb-form-control

Expected behavior

Setting a FormControl to be disabled using the recommended method should work

Actual behavior

It doesn't. Additionally, doing it the way recommended in the MDB documentation ( [disabled]="true" ) throws a angular warning

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

HTML

<mdb-form-control>
    <input mdbInput [mdbValidate]="true" id="firstname" name="firstname" formControlName="firstnameControl" type="text" class="form-control">
    <label mdbLabel for="firstname" class="form-label">First name</label>
    <mdb-error *ngIf="(firstnameControl?.invalid && (firstnameControl?.dirty || firstnameControl?.touched))">This must not be blank</mdb-error>
    <mdb-success *ngIf="firstnameControl?.valid && (firstnameControl?.dirty || firstnameControl?.touched)"></mdb-success>
</mdb-form-control>

TS

this.formGroup = new FormGroup({
    firstnameControl: new FormControl({
        value: this.firstname, disabled: true }, {
        validators: [Validators.required], updateOn: 'change'
    })
});

using the code (above) does not result in a disabled field, additionally this does not disable the field: this.firstnameControl.disable();

@Dave Moniz We will take a closer look at this and add possibility to disable the control using Angular form control. For now, please use [disabled] on mdbInput, Angular will always suggest to handle disabled state using FormControl options, but this warning should not be displayed in production build.

Can confirm this is addressed as of v1.1.0, closing now.
