Writing a todo list form

[muhmud]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm trying to write a simple todo list form, with a select above, and an input below. I would like to have the input focused when the form group loads, but haven't been able to achieve this, after much effort.

I would also like to customize the behaviour that occurs when I press enter on the input, so that it adds the item to the todo list and keeps the form alive. I can achieve this by reloading the form, and this is mostly OK, but it would be nice to have more control over this.

Describe the solution you'd like

• You should be able to choose which field of a group has focus when a group is loaded
• You should be able to control whether submit actually submits or whether the submit is cancelled

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried to call Update() on a group directly with NextField() to try to get it to move to the next field, which works, but the select shows the message Loading...

Additional context
Seems like this kind of thing should be simple to achieve

Hey @muhmud this seems to be a question related to usage, so I'm going to go ahead and convert this to a discussion.

You should be able to control whether submit actually submits or whether the submit is cancelled

You can change what happens on submit by creating your own tea.Cmd for the form's SubmitCmd.

Also if the user presses ctrl+c it will run the CancelCmd for the form.

You should be able to choose which field of a group has focus when a group is loaded

Typically focus happens in order of declaration. Could you please help me understand a case where that might not be desired?

As you mentioned, a reload would be needed to populate new values onto a list field. If you want more control over that, then migrating your project to use Bubble Tea instead will give you more control. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have further questions or concerns.
