StyleGuide - Limit the usage of forwardRef #1151
Description
To be discussed ...
I copied several of these from early discussions and will list them as issues for future discussion after ngConf
-
Limit the usage of
forwardRef.Why?: The usage of
forwardRefindicates either a cyclic dependency or inconsistency in the services' declaration (i.e. the dependent service is declared before its dependency). In both cases there is usually a better approach to be used.

One place where
forwardRefseems necessary is when components need to provide value accessors, e.g. for custom form controls. An example can be found in md-checkbox which provides aControlValueAccessorso it can be used similar to a native checkbox. I'm not sure if there's been a better solution implemented since this code was written though.opporancisis commentedon May 8, 2017
Hi guys. Has anybody come up with how to make custom form controls without using
forwardRef?meriturva commentedon Jun 28, 2017
No solution here with Angular 4.
@opporancisis did you find one?
