Current behavior

I have PatientCreditCardComponent that extends BaseCompositeFormField
`
export abstract class BaseCompositeFormField implements Validator, OnInit, OnDestroy {
public form: FormGroupTyped;
protected _destroy$: Subject = new Subject();

constructor(@optional() @self() public controlDir: NgControl) {
// bind the CVA to our control
controlDir.valueAccessor = this;
}

ngOnInit(): void {
let control = this.controlDir.control;
this.initForm(control.validator);

`
