setValues as a method

[RBleyenberg]

Looking at the api docs we have a setValue but no setValues.

what i like todo is open a modal which hold a form and set all the values at once's from a object given as argument.

atm i'm doing it like this

  const openModal = $((country: ICountry) => {
      modal.isOpen = true,
      modal.title = 'country',
      countryForm.internal.fields.id.value = country.id,
      countryForm.internal.fields.code.value = country.code,
      countryForm.internal.fields.name.value = country.name
  });

But would like todo something like this

  const openModal = $((country: ICountry) => {
      modal.isOpen = true,
      modal.title = 'country',
      countryForm.values = country
       or
      setValues('countryForm', country)
  });

I'm i overlooking something in the api docs ?

That is correct, currently there is no setValues method yet. However, I actually started working on it yesterday. Since the implementation is not as simple as it seems at first sight I cannot say at the moment when I will release it. Until then I recommend to call setValue for each field separately to avoid invalidating the state of the form. setValue does not only update the value. If you are interested, you can find the API reference and source code at the following links.

The setValues method is now available.
