})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'app-material2';
  
  websites: Website[] = [

    {value: '2', viewValue: 'HDTuto.com'},
    {value: '3', viewValue: 'Nicesnippets.com'}
  ];
  
  form: FormGroup = new FormGroup({});
  
  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
  
    this.form = fb.group({
      website: ['', [Validators.required]],
    })
  }
   
  get f(){
    return this.form.controls;
  }
    
  submit(){
    console.log(this.form.value);
  }
}

You can easily run by the following command:

ng serve
