Disable Input fields in reactive form

I solved it by wrapping my input object with its label in a field set: The fieldset should have the disabled property binded to the boolean

 <fieldset [disabled]="isAnonymous">
    <label class="control-label" for="firstName">FirstName</label>
    <input class="form-control" id="firstName" type="text" formControlName="firstName" />
 </fieldset>

name: [{value: '', disabled: true}, Validators.required],
name: [{value: '', disabled: this.isDisabled}, Validators.required],

or

this.form.controls['name'].disable();

Pay attention

If you are creating a form using a variable for condition and trying to change it later it will not work, i.e. the form will not change.

For example

this.isDisabled = true;
    
this.cardForm = this.fb.group({
    number: {value: null, disabled: this.isDisabled},
});

and if you change the variable

this.isDisabled = false;

the form will not change. You should use

this.cardForm.get('number').disable();

BTW.

You should use patchValue method for changing value:

this.cardForm.patchValue({
    number: '1703'
});
