How to dynamically show and add fields of a sub-schema depending on another field? #759

I had a similar question. I want the user to be able to add multiple sub-categories based on (multiple) main categories. Solution below. You need AutoForm 5.0. Duplicate of #585

thanks @nQk2. I finally used another approach and created an own template based on afArrayField, which uses Dont know if this is a good approach but seems to be working for my situation:

Based on Miriam's answer, I would also like to share what i did to get things working. May be it could benifit.
Schemas.actions = new SimpleSchema({
actions : {
type : Array,
optional: false,
minCount: 1,
autoform: {
name: "actions"
}
},
"actions.$" : {
type: Object
},
"actions.$.action_type": {
type : String,
optional: false,
label : "Action Type",
autoform: {
type : "select",
class : "action_type form-control",
name : "action_type",
label : "Select type of action",
options: function()
{
let returnValue = [
{label: "Action 1", value: "action_1"},
{label: "Action 2", value: "action_2"},
];
return returnValue;
}
}
},
"actions.$.action_1" : {
type : Schemas.action1,
minCount: 1,
optional: true,
label : "Action 1",
}
});
Schemas.action1 = new SimpleSchema({
"action1_to" : {
type : String,
optional: false,
label : "Email To",
autoform: {
type : "text",
label : "Email To",
placeholder: "Comma seperated values...",
class : "form-control"
}
},
"action1_cc" : {
type : String,
optional: true,
label : "Email Cc",
autoform: {
type : "text",
label : "Email Cc",
placeholder: "Comma seperated values...",
class : "form-control"
}
},
"action1_subject": {
type : String,
optional: false,
label : "Subject",
autoform: {
type : "text",
label : "Subject",
placeholder: "Subject for the Email",
class : "form-control"
}
},
"action1_body" : {
type : String,
optional: false,
label : "Email Content",
autoform: {
label : "Email Content",
rows : 6,
class : "form-control auto-size",
placeholder: "Email Content goes here...",
style : "font-size: 120%;"
}
}
}); Please note that Schemas.action1 should be loaded before Schemas.actions else you would only have a textbox rendered instead of the form
<template name="actions">
{{#autoForm id="actions-form" doc=step.data schema=schema}}
{{> afArrayField name="actions" template="actions" step=step}}
{{> wizardButtons}}
{{/autoForm}}
</template>
<template name="afArrayField_actions">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">{{afFieldLabelText name=this.atts.name}}</div>
{{#if afFieldIsInvalid name=this.atts.name}}
<div class="panel-body has-error">
<span class="help-block">{{{afFieldMessage name=this.atts.name}}}</span>
</div>
{{/if}}
<ul class="list-group">
{{#afEachArrayItem name=this.atts.name minCount=this.atts.minCount maxCount=this.atts.maxCount}}
<li class="list-group-item autoform-array-item">
<div>
<div class="autoform-remove-item-wrap">
{{#if afArrayFieldHasMoreThanMinimum name=../atts.name minCount=../atts.minCount maxCount=../atts.maxCount}}
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary autoform-remove-item"><span
class="glyphicon glyphicon-minus"></span></button>
{{/if}}
</div>
<div class="autoform-array-item-body">
{{> afQuickField name=this.current.action_type label=false options=actionOptions}}
{{> UI.dynamic template=currentFieldValue data=this }}
</div>
</div>
</li>
{{/afEachArrayItem}}
{{#if afArrayFieldHasLessThanMaximum name=this.atts.name minCount=this.atts.minCount maxCount=this.atts.maxCount}}
<li class="list-group-item">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary autoform-add-item"
data-autoform-field="{{this.atts.name}}" data-autoform-minCount="{{this.atts.minCount}}"
data-autoform-maxCount="{{this.atts.maxCount}}"><span
class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span></button>
</li>
{{/if}}
</ul>
</div>
</template>
<template name="action_1">
{{> afQuickField name=this.current.action_1 }}
</template> You would see
Template.registerHelper("currentFieldValue", function()
{
let val = AutoForm.getFieldValue(this.current.action_type, "actions-form");
return val || null;
}); |
What is the best approach to dynamically show fields of a sub-schema (Object) depending on another field?
In the following example a document (Schemas.Main) can include several items defined in Schemas.Items. The fields that are needed to fill in items are dependendent on the selected type.
For example if a user selects type=="type1", fields "type1_field1" and "type1_field2" need to be filled.
A solution probably needs to use autoForm and combine AutoForm.getFieldValue and setting fields of an afArrayField, correct? I have tried a lot of combinations but either the ability to add additional items is lost (missing plus-sign) or I cannot add different items (i.e. all items are type1). Any hints how to solve this?
