Description

Hello, I just tried to change a FormGroup I had to a FormArray because it only contains one type of text input, but 1..N of those.

The background is that I want to check if at least one of the existing FormControls in that FormGroup/FormArray has a value and thus validate the FormGroup/FormArray. Users can add or remove FormControls in that array as long as at least one exists.

So, what I had before:

<form [formGroup]="myFormGroup">

It would've become:

<form [formArray]="myFormArray">

However, the only possible thing I found is

<form [formArrayName]="???">

But myFormArray doesn't have a name by itself. It could only be found via name if it's inside a FormGroup.

Proposed solution

Please make it possible to reference a FormArray in e.g. a <form> element because FormArrays natively also support validation etc.

(Same goes for UntypedFormArray, by the way.)

Alternatives considered

As far as I know, the current state of things means I'd have to put myFormArray inside a FormGroup with only one element (it being the FormArray), which seems really clunky to me.
