Populate Input Field using FormControl Angular

I have an input field where I need to populate array data inside it which is coming
from API, I have used FormControl to populate the data but not able to achieve the same.I am getting the response on console but not able to populate it on UI. Below is my code if any anyone could guide me as I have spent 2 entire days and new in Angular. Can anyone please help me here.
HTML Code:
<div formArrayName="ints" *ngFor="let inCompany of insurance.controls; let i = index">
<div [formGroupName] = "i">
<ion-card *ngFor="let eq of ef;let i=index;">
<ion-item>
<ion-input formControlName="iCompany"></ion-input>
</ion-item>
</ion-card>
</div>
</div>
TS Code:
ionViewWillEnter(){
this.loadData();
}
ngOnInit() {
this.sForm = this.formBuilder.group({
ints: this.formBuilder.array([]),
})
}
get ints(): FormArray {
return this.sForm.get('ints') as FormArray;
}
get formGroup(): FormGroup {
return this.formBuilder.group({
name: ['justTest'],
});
}
loadData(){
this.service.getefDetails(data).subscribe((response: any) => {
this.ef= response.data;
var formArray = this.sForm.get('ints') as FormArray;
for (let i = 0; i < this.ef.length; i++) {
console.log(this.ef.length, this.ef[i].percentage)
var chec=this.ef[i].percentage
formArray.push(this.formGroup);
formArray.controls[i].patchValue(chec);
}
)}
}
Array Type:
[{name:"test", percentage: "29"},{name:"abc", percentage: "45"}, {name:"def", percentage: "63"}]

First of all, I suggest you re-think your approach as mentioned in the earlier comment it seems you have made it unnecessarily complicated.
Also, I would think of renaming your variables it is quite confusing and will be a pain to maintain later on.
To answer your question and get the "ion-input" printed on the screen do the following changes to the HTML.
You can not assign <div [formGroupName] = "i"> i to the formGroup since it is not of type formGroup as it is assigned to the index.
The solution is to assign <div [formGroupName] = "insuranceCompany[0]">
So that a form group will be assigned.
Again I suggest that you rename the variable "insuranceCompany" for clarity purposes as there is a control named "insuranceCompany" as well.
Here is a working example of your code minus the ionic tags.
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-b3gtly?file=src/app/app.component.ts
Hope I made myself clear, and hope it helps.

You can use patchValue directly to an form control in order to do this.
Your current setup seems too complicated unless there are a bunch of other values in the form that's not displayed here.
However, when you get a response from API, you can simply get the reactive form element, and set value.
this.suitablityForm.insurance.insuranceCompany.patchValue('VAL_YOU_WANT');

Angular directive ngIf is not working as expected

We are trying to pass data from one component to another and below is the approach we are taking. When there is no data we want to show the error message
<div *ngIf="showGlobalError">
<h6>The reporting project doesn't have any Shippable Items</h6>
</div>
and the component.ts is like
showGlobalError = true;
constructor(private psService: ProjectShipmentService, private pdComp: ProjectDetailsComponent) {
this.psService.tDate.subscribe(x => this.cachedResults = x);
}
ngOnInit() { }
ngDoCheck() {
if (this.cachedResults.length > 0 && this.count <= 1) {
this.showGlobalError = false;
this.populateArrays();
this.count++;
}
}
populateArrays() {
this.reportingProject = [this.pdComp.rProjectNumber];
this.projectSalesOrder = this.pdComp.rSalesOrder;
this.clearFilter();
........
The issue is Even though there is data in the this.cachedResults that is this.cachedResults.length not equal to '0' for few seconds 'The reporting project doesn't have any Shippable Items' is shown in the page and then shows the data I am not sure if this something with the ngDoCheck() is causing this. Any help is greatly appreciated

Since, the default value of showGlobalError is true, the page load shows the error message.
Please make it by default false and make it true when this.cachedResults.length is 0 or this.cachedResults is undefined or this.cachedResults is null.
Hope this solves your problem.

Rather than subscribing in the code you can use the async pipe in your template
items$ = this.psService.tDate;
showGlobalError$ = this.items$.pipe(map(results => !results || !results.length));
constructor(private psService: ProjectShipmentService, private pdComp: ProjectDetailsComponent) { }
and in your template
<div *ngIf="showGlobalError$ | async">
<h6>The reporting project doesn't have any Shippable Items</h6>
</div>
<ng-template *ngFor="let item of items$ | async">
Do stuff with {{item | json}}
</ng-template>
This manages your subscription for you and fixes the memory leak you have in your code with the subscription you don't unsubscribe from.
Take a look at alibrary I wrote for this sort of thing, make caching data a lot easier. https://medium.com/#adrianbrand/angular-state-management-with-rxcache-468a865fc3fb

Salesforce Lightning Component will not update records via Apex call, freezes

Issue overview: Currently coding a Lightning Component to update records on a custom object. However, every time I trigger the update (via a ui:button), the page freezes and I don't see any errors in the debugger or console. Cannot for the life of me figure out why it won't work.
Context: The component has a number of dropdowns that are populated with records (with the label being the record name). Selecting a new value in the dropdown and hitting "Update" calls the below apex to change a custom field (Status__c = 'Ready') on the new selected item, and then updates the records that occur before it (Status__c = 'Complete). I do all of my security and update checks in another function during init, so you won't see that here (I can post the full code if needed). Just trying to get the update to work.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could show me the error of my ways :]. Always been a huge fan of stackoverflow and looking forward to contributing now that I finally signed up. Thanks for your time everyone!
Apex:
#AuraEnabled
public static void updateMilestones(String deployId,Boolean prodChanged,String newProdMile) {
if( prodChanged == true && newProdMile != null ) {
try {
decimal newProdStepNum;
List <Milestone__c> newReadyProdMile = New List<Milestone__c>();
for(Milestone__c mil1:[SELECT id, Status__c, Step_Order__c FROM Milestone__c
WHERE Deployment__c = :deployID
AND id = :newProdMile LIMIT 1]){
mil1.Status__c = 'Ready';
newProdStepNum = mil1.Step_Order__c;
newReadyProdMile.add(mil1);
}
List <Milestone__c> prodMilesComplete = New List<Milestone__c>();
for(Milestone__c mil2:[SELECT id, Type__C, Status__c FROM Milestone__c
WHERE Deployment__c = :deployID
AND Step_Order__c < :newProdStepNum
AND Type__c = 'Production'
AND Status__c != 'Complete'
AND Status__c != 'Revised']){
mil2.Status__c = 'Complete';
prodMilesComplete.add(mil2);

I believe the issue is that you have fallen into the all too common trap of naming both a client side and a server side controller method the same (updateMilestones in this case). Try changing the name of either to make them unique and I expect that will get you running.
Yes, there is a bug on this and many of us have been making a very loud noise about getting it fixed!
Also we have a very active Salesforce specific Stack Exchange forum over here https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/ that will get more attention - especially if you tag your posts with lightning-components (e.g. I have my account configured to send me an email alert on every post tagged with lightning-components, locker-service, etc).

That might be javascript causing the error.As it's difficult to solve without knowing the error, I would suggest you debug the error.
Turn on debug mode.
a. From Setup, click Develop > Lightning Components.
b. Select the Enable Debug Mode checkbox.
c. Click Save.
In Chrome Developer Tools, check the "Pause on Caught Exceptions" checkbox in the Sources tab. This can often help finding the source of an issue. Other browsers may have similar options.
Add a debugger statement if you want to step through some code.
debugger;
This is useful when you have a rough idea where the problem might be happening.

Update unrelated field when clicking Angular checkbox

I have a list of checkboxes for people, and I need to trigger an event that will display information about each person selected in another area of the view. I am getting the event to run in my controller and updating the array of staff information. However, the view is not updated with this information. I think this is probably some kind of scope issue, but cannot find anything that works. I have tried adding a $watch, my code seems to think that is already running. I have also tried adding a directive, but nothing in there seems to make this work any better. I am very, very new to Angular and do not know where to look for help on this.
My view includes the following:
<div data-ng-controller="staffController as staffCtrl" id="providerList" class="scrollDiv">
<fieldset>
<p data-ng-repeat="person in staffCtrl.persons">
<input type="checkbox" name="selectedPersons" value="{{ physician.StaffNumber }}" data-ng-model="person.isSelected"
data-ng-checked="isSelected(person.StaffNumber)" data-ng-change="staffCtrl.toggleSelection(person.StaffNumber)" />
{{ person.LastName }}, {{ person.FirstName }}<br />
</p>
</fieldset>
</div>
<div data-ng-controller="staffController as staffCtrl">
# of items: <span data-ng-bind="staffCtrl.infoList.length"></span>
<ul>
<li data-ng-repeat="info in staffCtrl.infoList">
<span data-ng-bind="info.staffInfoItem1"></span>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
My controller includes the following:
function getStaffInfo(staffId, date) {
staffService.getStaffInfoById(staffId)
.then(success)
.catch(failed);
function success(data) {
if (!self.infoList.length > 0) {
self.infoList = [];
}
var staffItems = { staffId: staffNumber, info: data };
self.infoList.push(staffItems);
}
function failed(err) {
self.errorMessage = err;
}
}
self.toggleSelection = function toggleSelection(staffId) {
var idx = self.selectedStaff.indexOf(staffId);
// is currently selected
if (idx >= 0) {
self.selectedStaff.splice(idx, 1);
removeInfoForStaff(staffId);
} else {
self.selectedStaff.push(staffId);
getStaffInfo(staffId);
}
};
Thanks in advance!!

In the code you posted, there are two main problems. One in the template, and one in the controller logic.
Your template is the following :
<div data-ng-controller="staffController as staffCtrl" id="providerList" class="scrollDiv">
<!-- ngRepeat where you select the persons -->
</div>
<div data-ng-controller="staffController as staffCtrl">
<!-- ngRepeat where you show persons info -->
</div>
Here, you declared twice the controller, therefore, you have two instances of it. When you select the persons, you are storing the info in the data structures of the first instance. But the part of the view that displays the infos is working with other instances of the data structures, that are undefined or empty. The controller should be declared on a parent element of the two divs.
The second mistake is the following :
if (!self.infoList.length > 0) {
self.infoList = [];
}
You probably meant :
if (!self.infoList) {
self.infoList = [];
}
which could be rewrited as :
self.infoList = self.infoList || [];

Conditionally bind data in AngularJS

I have an array of tasks. They have titles and and labels.
function Task(taskTitle, taskType) {
this.title = taskTitle;
this.type = taskType;
}
$scope.tasks = [];
I end up declaring a bunch of tasks with different types and adding them to the array
In my html, I show a column of cards, filtered by type of task:
<div ng-model="tasks">
<div class="card" ng-repeat="abc in tasks track by $index" ng-show="abc.type==0">
<p> {{ abc.title }} </p>
</div>
</div>
I want to bind the first card displayed in this filtered view to some other div. I'll be processing an inbox, so I'll whittle this list of cards down to zero. Each time I 'process' a card and remove it from the list, I need the data to refresh.
<div ng-model="firstCardInFilteredArray">
<h4>Title of first card:</h4>
<p> This should be the title of the first card! </p>
</div>
My intuition was to do something like this (in javascript):
// pseudo-code!
$scope.inboxTasks = [];
for (i=0; i<tasks.length(); i++) {
if (tasks[i].type == 0) {
inboxTasks.append(tasks[i]);
}
}
and somehow run that function again any time the page changes. But that seems ridiculous, and not within the spirit of Angular.
Is there a simple way in pure javascript or with Angular that I can accomplish this conditional binding?

You can filter your ng-repeat: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/filter
<div ng-model="tasks">
<div class="card" ng-repeat="abc in filteredData = (tasks | filter: {type==0}) track by $index">
<p> {{ abc.title }} </p>
</div>
</div>
Additionally, by saving the filtered data in a separate list you can display the next task like this:
<div>
<h4>Title of first card:</h4>
<p> filteredData[0].title </p>
</div>
Your data will automatically update as you "process" tasks.

The other answers helped point me in the right direction, but here's how I got it to work:
HTML
<input ng-model="inboxEditTitle" />
JS
$scope.filteredArray = [];
$scope.$watch('tasks',function(){
$scope.filteredArray = filterFilter($scope.tasks, {type:0});
$scope.inboxEditTitle = $scope.filteredArray[0].title;
},true); // the 'true' keyword is the kicker
Setting the third argument of $watch to true means that any changes to any data in my tasks array triggers the watch function. This is what's known as an equality watch, which is apparently more computationally intensive, but is what I need.
This SO question and answer has helpful commentary on a similar problem, and a great fiddle as well.
More on different $watch functionality in Angular

To update inboxTasks, you could use $watchCollection:
$scope.inboxTasks = [];
$scope.$watchCollection('tasks', function(newTasks, oldTasks)
{
for (i=0; i<newTasks.length(); i++)
{
if(newTasks[i].type == 0)
{
$scope.inboxTasks.append(tasks[i]);
}
}
});
