ngx-dynamic-form

The ngx-dynamic-form is a library that works in Angular 16 with Bootstrap 5 to generate forms in a simple and dynamic way.

Installation

To install the library, run:

yarn add @jvlsoft/ngx-dynamic-form

Then add the following styles:

@import "~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";
@import '~bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons.css';

Note: Make sure your project has routing, otherwise the library won't work
