Color Input JSON Editing

Color Input - JSON Editing

When creating a screen, it is sometimes quick and easy to use the modal feature within a table or form design to engage with your end users to create or update a record in Fuuz. You can certainly use the Screen Designer to drop in the input components you want, but you can also use this feature to create very simple screens that still have some pretty amazing capabilities.

Instructions

1. Open the Screen Designer

2. Open or start a screen of your choosing

3. (Adding a modal?) Select or add an Action on your screen that will trigger the pop-up

4. After adding the Action button you can add an "action"

5. Select the Form option — this allows you to define a pop-up form by using JSON data to format the screen the user will interact with

   

6. Provide a Name for your form — as shown above, "New Modal Pop Up". This name is displayed to the end user, so typically this would read "Create New Something" or "Edit Something"

7. Click the 4-way arrow above the Form Fields section to use the full-screen editor

   

8. With the editor panel in full view, you can quickly add any inputs you need to the form

   

9. Add a Color Input object to the layout:

   {
     "name": "color",                /* Name of the field in the data model */
     "description": "Color to be used in UI for display purposes", /* description used when user toggles help fields */
     "label": "Color",               /* Name displayed to the user in the form */
     "type": "color",                /* Input Type - uses the color wheel input */
     "disabled": false,              /* ability to enable/disable user entry on this field */
     "dataPath": "color",            /* path where the collected input is stored in the data model after form submission */
     "validation": {
       "required": false             /* toggle validation of required or not */
     },
     "defaultValue": "#cccccc",      /* Default color code you can set if desired */
     "query": {
       "fields": [
         "color"
       ]
     }
   }

   It should look just like this in the editor:

   

   Modify the input as you need — you can change the label, required, defaultValue, disabled, or any other attributes to fit your need.

10. When finished, your end user will see something like this:
