Angular 2, set value of text inputs in form

Viewed 39945

So I'm trying out some Angular 2 and I like it so far. But I need some help to navigate this new landscape.

I have a form to edit a users details and a list on the side with all my users. When I click on one of the users in the list I want to populate my edit-user-form with the user details (setEditForm(user)).

I've got it working and all. But I must say, it doesn't feel quite right to use ngControl and ngModel at the same time. But maybe it is...

Is this the correct way to do this or have I just got some luck in making it work?

@Component({
  template: `
    <form (ngSubmit)="editUser(f.value)" #f="ngForm">
      <input ngControl="nameInp" [ngModel]="selectedUser.name" type="text">
      <input ngControl="ageInp" [ngModel]="selectedUser.age" type="text">
      <input ngControl="cityInp" [ngModel]="selectedUser.city" type="text">

      <button type="submit">Save</button>
    </form>
)}

export class AdminComponent {
 selectedUser:UserModel;

 constructor() {
    this.selectedUser = new UserModel;
  }

  setEditForm(user:UserModel) {
    this.selectedUser = user;
  }

  editUser(form:any) {
    // Update DB with values
    console.log(form['nameInp']);
    console.log(form['ageInp']);
    console.log(form['cityInp']);
  }
}
