@workInProgress @ngdoc overview @name Cookbook: Form @description A web application's main purpose is to present and gather data. For this reason angular strives to make both of these operations trivial. This example shows off how you can build a simple form to allow a user to enter data.

(Try leaving them blank or entering non digits in the zip field) * In your application you can simply read from or write to the model and the form will be updated. * By clicking the 'add' link you are adding new items into the `user.contacts` array which are then reflected in the view.
