I am passing some data from angular to django rest api, Which is as follows
first what django need in for api:
notice { description: something, classname : in which class notice is provided, students : from dropdown }
what I am passing from angular
description by formController students by formcontroller
now my issue is that I am not taking classname as input because It doesn’t make sense here
so is there any other way by which I directly pass classname to api as input without showing on UI
my angular code:
this.announceForm = this._formBuilder.group({ students : [selectedStudents, Validators.required], description: ['', Validators.required] });
here is django’s input fields

Of course you can. The value of the form is just an object. You can either hard-code the value you want as part of the form group, or you could add it to the value you pass to your service.
Just because you add a value to a form group doesn’t mean you have to present it to the user.
Example using a hard-coded value:
this.form = this.formBuilder.group({ students: [ '', [ Validators.required ] ], classname: [ 'some value' ], description: [ '', [ Validators.required ] ], });
Or add the value later:
this.form = this.formBuilder.group({ students: [ '', [ Validators.required ] ], description: [ '', [ Validators.required ] ], }); const data = { ...this.form.value, classname: 'whatever', }; this.yourService.whatever(data);
I typically just hard-code the value into the formgroup so I can pass form.value
to the service method.
