radio html markup initialization

Webix JS
#1

Pressing issue: how do I initialize a radio control with options and initial value in html markup?

Nice to have:

I would like to use a radio in the same way as a combo.

code snippet http://webix.com/snippet/8f2b2637

The combo initialization works fine

<div view="combo" id="cloneFromCombo" 
webix-data="cloneablePerfiles" label="{{translations.CloneFrom}}" 
value="{{cloneFromPerfilId}}"></div>

I would like to initialize the radio in the same way as the combo; however, introducing webix-data attribute prevents it from rendering (see intended radio control commented out.)

<div view="radio" id="cloneFromRadio" 
webix-data="cloneablePerfiles" label="{{translations.CloneFrom}}" 
value="{{cloneFromPerfilId}}">

can this be done?

Hello,

Unfortunately, there’s a limitation. Radio options cannot be set in such a way. But you can set them dynamically after form is initialized:

<div webix-ui webix-ready="setOptions(root)" view="form" id="htmlForm">
     <div view="radio" id="cloneFromRadio" options="-"></div>
</div>

$scope.setOptions = function(){
  $$("cloneFromRadio").define({options:$scope.cloneablePerfiles});
  $$("cloneFromRadio").refresh();
}

Please, check the snippet: http://webix.com/snippet/2319c9d0

We will consider improvements to this functionality.

Cheers for that, works a treat!

Please note in order for the rendering not to break down, options="-" above cannot be removed or even replaced by options="" (you are probably aware of this)

Yep, radio requires the initial set of options, so at least some meaningful value should be provided. The cleaner solution is to define an empty array: http://webix.com/snippet/abba1c48
