| Register the reactive forms module | To use reactive form controls, import `ReactiveFormsModule` from the `@angular/forms` package and add it to your NgModule's `imports` array. |
-| Generate a new `FormControl` | Use the [CLI command](cli "Using the Angular command-line interface") `ng generate` to generate a component in your project to host the control. Use the constructor of `FormControl` to set its initial value, which in this case is an empty string. By creating these controls in your component class, you get immediate access to listen for, update, and validate the state of the form input. |

| Register the control in the template | After you create the control in the component class, you must associate it with a form control element in the template. Update the template with the form control using the `formControl` binding provided by `FormControlDirective`, which is also included in the `ReactiveFormsModule`.
- For a summary of the classes and directives provided by `ReactiveFormsModule`, see the following [Reactive forms API](#reactive-forms-api "API summary") section
- For complete syntax details of these classes and directives, see the API reference documentation for the [Forms package](api/forms "API reference")
Using the template binding syntax, the form control is now registered to the `name` input element in the template. The form control and DOM element communicate with each other: the view reflects changes in the model, and the model reflects changes in the view. |
-| Display the component | The form control assigned to `name` is displayed when the component is added to a template. |
