+# Parent Component Creates Form; Child Components Define Structure
+
+Another approach for refactoring a component into child sub-components where the parent component is responsible for creating the entre Reactive Form would be to define static factory methods within each child component rather than within a full-fledged service. As with the [Parent Component Creates Form and Passes Form Controls Into Child Components (Global Form)](../global-form/README.md) approach, the appropriate form controls would be passed into the children.
+
+In many ways, this approach is a hybrid between the Parent Form and Global Form approaches.
+
+```typescript
+export class AppComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
+  contact: Contact;
+  form: FormGroup;
+
+  private subscription: Subscription;
+
+  constructor(private service: ContactService, private fb: FormBuilder) {}
+
+  public ngOnInit() {
+    this.subscription = this.service
+      .loadContact()
+      .subscribe((data: Contact) => {
+        this.contact = data;
+        this.form = this.fb.group({
+          name: NameComponent.buildForm(data.name),
+          addresses: AddressListComponent.buildForm(data.addresses),
+        });
+      });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The HTML templating will be identical to the Global Form approach.
+
+## Static Form Builder Methods
+
+Rather than having a separate factory service, this approach uses static methods on each of the child sub-classes. This approach intentionally couples the logic for creating a sub-form structure with the component that would display it, keeping the logic in one place rather than separating it between components and an otherwise unrelated service. The rule-of-thumb in this approach is that the component which needs to display the form to a user will best know what the structure of that form needs to be.
+
+### Name Component
+
+```typescript
+  static buildForm(name: Name): FormGroup {
+    return new FormGroup({
+      firstName: new FormControl(name ? name.firstName : ''),
+      lastName: new FormControl(name ? name.lastName : ''),
+      middleName: new FormControl(name ? name.middleName : ''),
+      prefix: new FormControl(name ? name.prefix : ''),
+      suffix: new FormControl(name ? name.suffix : ''),
+    });
+  }
+```
+
+### Address List Component
+
+```typescript
+  static buildForm(addresses: Address[]): FormArray {
+    const list: FormArray = new FormArray([]);
+
+    if (addresses) {
+      addresses.forEach(addr => {
+        list.push(AddressComponent.buildForm(addr));
+      });
+    }
+
+    return list;
+  }
+```
+
+### Address Component
+
+```typescript
+  static buildForm(addr: Address): FormGroup {
+    return new FormGroup({
+      line1: new FormControl(addr ? addr.line1 : ''),
+      line2: new FormControl(addr ? addr.line2 : ''),
+      city: new FormControl(addr ? addr.city : ''),
+      state: new FormControl(addr ? addr.state : ''),
+      postalCode: new FormControl(addr ? addr.postalCode : ''),
+    });
+  }
+```
+
+## Pros
+
+- The child components encapsulate the form controls and their display, while keeping the form creation logic separate from the actual template rendering
+- The child components can easily be re-used
+
+## Cons
+
+- The overall shape of the form from the parent component's perspective is not always clear
