What is the purpose of FormBuilder?

FormBuilder is used as syntactic sugar for easily creating instances of a FormControl, FormGroup, or FormArray. This is helpful to reduce the amount of boilerplate needed to build complex reactive forms. It is available as an injectable helper class of the @angular/forms package.

For example, the user profile component creation becomes easier as shown here.

export class UserProfileComponent {
profileForm = this.formBuilder.group({
firstName: [''],
lastName: [''],
address: this.formBuilder.group({
street: [''],
city: [''],
state: [''],
zip: ['']
}),
});
constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) { }
}
