TRADEOFF BATTLE
Reactive forms vs template-driven forms for a growing Angular workflow
A small signup form turned into a dynamic multi-step workflow with validation rules, saved drafts, and tests. Which form approach would you defend?
The prompt
You are working on an Angular onboarding workflow that started as a basic signup form but now has dynamic address rows, cross-field validation, conditional enable or disable rules, draft restore, and unit tests around the form logic. In the interview, the panel asks whether you would keep it template-driven or move the workflow to reactive forms.
