What it does
Creates an AbstractControl from a user-specified configuration.
It is essentially syntactic sugar that shortens the new FormGroup(), new FormControl(), and new FormArray() boilerplate that can build up in larger forms.
How to use
To use, inject FormBuilder into your component class. You can then call its methods directly.
