is it OK to have nested “forms”. I mean nested (view: “form”) ?
For example i have a multiview where each “cell” is a (view: “form”).
Inside one of those views i have a datatable.
Now i want to add a input field and a button above this datatable that would “add” a new row to datatable.
Is it OK if i create a new (view:“form”) inside of a parent (view:“form”)?
It’s OK if the parent form is intended to act as a regular layout (container) for the nested one. In such case, get/setValues of the parent form won’t affect the inner form by default.
But if your use-case is more complex, could you please describe it a bit further?
Hi! i’m looking for arround same thing:
for my “user” table, i need email, username and password, but for “user_datas”, need adress, technical_id.
I would made one form for twice but when i do .getValues(), i have {email:“foo”, username:“bar”, password:“foobar”, adress:“barfoo”, technical:“8”}.
I would like to have a getValues() result like :
{email:“foo”,
username:“bar”,
password:“foobar”,
userdatas:{
adress:“barfoo”,
technical:“8”
}
}
how to get nested values for server side treatments?
thanks
Oups ! Very nice thanks see this page but don’t look about “name:nestedparamkey.key” method.
Thanks a lot @integral my code looks better now
but have an other issue:
when I send form.getvalues(), it seems like nested object is “Json.stringified”. I mean that params = {email:“foo”, username:“bar”, password:“foobar”, userdatas:{ adress:“barfoo”, technical:“8” } }
get changed when sended in ajax post to:
{email:“foo”, username:“bar”, password:“foobar”, userdatas:"{" adress":“barfoo”," technical":“8”}"}.
Is it possible to undo this Json transform in webix side or is it only possible in serveur side?
and use as { url: “api->/path/to/source” }
for manual posting you can use this approach: webix.ajax().headers({"Content-Type":"application/json"}).post('/path/to/source', JSON.stringify(data), callback);
but on the server side you will have to handle request body (not form data) and convert it to object using ‘json_decode’ or other platform dependent method.
