seObservableForm
seObservableForm is an alternative form module for angular. Key reasons for choosing this module.
- Reduce complexity around forms
- Provide an easy to use API
- Fully immutable data flow.
- Only reports changes.
- Native HTML form elements.
- Exposes the forms data as an observable stream
