Use the following code to create a basic inputEx group.
var contactFormFields = [
{type: 'select', label: 'Title', name: 'title', choices: [{ value: 'Mr' }, { value: 'Mrs' }, { value: 'Ms' }]},
{label: 'Firstname', name: 'firstname', required: true},
{label: 'Lastname', name: 'lastname', value:'Dupont'},
{type:'email', label: 'Email', name: 'email', required: true, showMsg: true},
{type:'radio', label: 'Happy to be there ?', name: 'happy', display:'vertically', choices:[{value: "y", label:"yes"}, {value:"n", label:"no"}]},
{type:'boolean', label: 'Favorite colors ?', name: 'yellow', rightLabel:"yellow"},
{type:'boolean', label: ' ', name: 'blue', rightLabel:"blue"},
{type:'boolean', label: ' ', name: 'red', rightLabel:"red"},
{type:'url', label: 'Website', name:'website'}
];
new Y.inputEx.Group({parentEl: 'container1', fields: contactFormFields, legend: 'Tell us about yourself...'});
The inputEx.Group class inherits from inputEx.Field
var contactFormFields = [ {type: 'select', label: 'Title', name: 'title', choices: [{ value: 'Mr' }, { value: 'Mrs' }, { value: 'Ms' }]}, {label: 'Firstname', name: 'firstname', required: true}, {label: 'Lastname', name: 'lastname', value:'Dupont'}, {type:'email', label: 'Email', name: 'email', required: true, showMsg: true}, {type:'radio', label: 'Happy to be there ?', name: 'happy', values:["y","n"], choices:["yes","no"]}, {type:'boolean', label: 'Favorite colors ?', name: 'yellow', rightLabel:"yellow"}, {type:'boolean', label: ' ', name: 'blue', rightLabel:"blue"}, {type:'boolean', label: ' ', name: 'red', rightLabel:"red"}, {type:'url', label: 'Website', name:'website'} ];
new Y.inputEx.ListField({
elementType: {
type: 'group',
fields: contactFormFields
},
parentEl: 'container2'
});
How to listen to the updated event :
var contactFormFields = [ {type: 'select', label: 'Title', name: 'title', choices: [{ value: 'Mr' }, { value: 'Mrs' }, { value: 'Ms' }]}, {label: 'Firstname', name: 'firstname', required: true}, {label: 'Lastname', name: 'lastname', value:'Dupont'}, {type:'email', label: 'Email', name: 'email', required: true, showMsg: true}, {type:'radio', label: 'Happy to be there ?', name: 'happy', values:["y","n"], choices:["yes","no"]}, {type:'boolean', label: 'Favorite colors ?', name: 'yellow', rightLabel:"yellow"}, {type:'boolean', label: ' ', name: 'blue', rightLabel:"blue"}, {type:'boolean', label: ' ', name: 'red', rightLabel:"red"}, {type:'url', label: 'Website', name:'website'} ];
var el = Y.one('#container3');
var group3 = new Y.inputEx.Group({parentEl: el, fields: contactFormFields });
var logDiv = inputEx.cn('div', null, null, "Log :");
el.appendChild(logDiv);
group3.on('updated', function() {
logDiv.innerHTML += "Updated at "+(new Date());
logDiv.appendChild(inputEx.cn('br'));
});
var setValueButton = inputEx.cn('button', null, null, "SetValue");
Y.one(setValueButton).on('click', function() {
group3.setValue({
title: 'Mme',
firstname: 'Eric',
lastname: 'Abouaf',
happy: "y",
email: 'something@email.com',
website: 'http://neyric.github.com/inputex',
yellow: true
});
// when you don't pass all values, default values are applied
// to missing fields (e.g. : 'blue' and 'red' fields)
});
el.appendChild(setValueButton);
Collapsible
var contactFormFields = [ {type: 'select', label: 'Title', name: 'title', choices: [{ value: 'Mr' }, { value: 'Mrs' }, { value: 'Ms' }]}, {label: 'Firstname', name: 'firstname', required: true}, {label: 'Lastname', name: 'lastname', value:'Dupont'}, {type:'email', label: 'Email', name: 'email', required: true, showMsg: true}, {type:'radio', label: 'Happy to be there ?', name: 'happy', values:["y","n"], choices:["yes","no"]}, {type:'boolean', label: 'Favorite colors ?', name: 'yellow', rightLabel:"yellow"}, {type:'boolean', label: ' ', name: 'blue', rightLabel:"blue"}, {type:'boolean', label: ' ', name: 'red', rightLabel:"red"}, {type:'url', label: 'Website', name:'website'} ];
new Y.inputEx.Group({parentEl: 'container4', fields: contactFormFields, legend: 'User Informations', collapsible: true});
Composition
var contactFormFields2 = [
{type: 'select', label: 'Title', name: 'title', choices: [{ value: 'Mr' }, { value: 'Mrs' }, { value: 'Ms' }] },
{label: 'Firstname', name: 'firstname', required: true },
{label: 'Lastname', name: 'lastname', value:'Dupont', required:false },
{type:'email', label: 'Email', name: 'email', required: true, showMsg: true},
{type:'boolean', label: 'Happy to be there ?', name: 'happy'},
{type:'url', label: 'Website', name:'website'}
];
contactFormFields2.push({
type: 'group',
name: 'phone',
collapsible: true,
legend: 'Phone number',
fields: [
{ label: 'Home', name: 'home' },
{ label: 'Business', name: 'business' },
{ label: 'Mobile',name: 'mobile' },
{ label: 'Fax', name: 'fax' }
]
});
var field5 = new Y.inputEx.Group({parentEl: 'container5', fields: contactFormFields2});
var button5 = inputEx.cn('button', null, null, 'Get value');
Y.one('#container5').appendChild(button5);
Y.one(button5).on('click', function() {
alert( Y.JSON.stringify(field5.getValue()) );
});
var setValueButton = inputEx.cn('button', null, null, "SetValue");
Y.one(setValueButton).on('click', function() {
field5.setValue({
title: 'Mme',
firstname: 'Eric',
lastname: 'Abouaf',
happy: false,
email: 'something@email.com',
website: 'http://neyric.github.com/inputex',
phone:{
home:"911",
fax:"911"
}
});
});
var el = Y.one('#container5');
el.appendChild(setValueButton);
var validButton = inputEx.cn('button', null, null, 'Validate');
Y.one('#container5').appendChild(validButton);
Y.one(validButton).on("click", function() {
alert( field5.validate() );
});
Specify field descriptions
var descriptedFields = [
{ type: 'select', label: 'Title', name: 'title', description: 'Select your gender', choices: [{ value: 'Mr' }, { value: 'Mrs' }, { value: 'Ms' }] },
{ label: 'Firstname', description: 'Your firstname', name: 'firstname', required: true, value:'Jacques' },
{ label: 'Lastname', description: 'Your lastname', name: 'lastname', value:'Dupont' },
{ type:'email', description: 'Your email. We wont send you any commercial information', label: 'Email', name: 'email'},
{ type:'boolean', description: 'Check this box if you are happy to be there', label: 'Happy to be there ?', name: 'email'},
{ type:'url', description: 'Your blog url', label: 'Website', name:'website'}
];
new Y.inputEx.Group({parentEl: 'container6', fields: descriptedFields, legend: 'User Informations'});
The parent group will then flatten the sub-group value within its value.
In this example, we return {firstname: ..., lastname: ..., title:... } instead of { MySubForm: {firstname: ..., lastname: ...}, title:... }.
var flattenGroup = new Y.inputEx.Group({
parentEl: 'container7',
legend: 'Flatten demo',
name: "MyForm",
fields: [
{
type: 'group',
name: "MySubForm",
flatten: true,
fields: [
{ label: 'Firstname', name: 'firstname' },
{ label: 'Lastname', name: 'lastname', description: "Firstname and Lastname are within the same sub-group" }
]
},
{ label: 'Title', name: 'title' }
]
});
flattenGroup.on('updated',function(value) {
Y.one('#container7').appendChild( inputEx.cn('div',null,null, Y.JSON.stringify(value)) );
});
Use the setErrors method on Group or Form instances to set error messages. The field will show the message only if the showMsg option is enabled on this field.
This feature is helpful for Ajax forms with server-side validation.
var myForm = new Y.inputEx.Group({
parentEl: 'container8',
name: "MyForm",
fields: [
{label: 'Firstname', name: 'firstname', showMsg: true},
{label: 'Age', name: 'age', showMsg: true},
{label: 'Title', name: 'title'}
]
});
myForm.setErrors({
firstname: "Cannot be empty",
age: "Must be a number",
title: "Cannot be empty !!! (not visible because no showMsg)"
});
// Equivalent call :
myForm.setErrors([
["firstname", "Cannot be empty"],
["age", "Must be a number"],
["title", "Cannot be empty !!! (not visible because no showMsg)"]
]);
