AngularJS provides great way to create Forms which submit their data without postback.
AngularJS Forms use two directives:
- ng-model: The ng-model directives is used for binding input controls to Javascript Objects.
- ng-submit: Bind AngularJS Controller submit function to submit event of HTML Form. It also prevents the form to submit to server directly.
AngularJS Form Example
<html>
<head>
