A ClojureScript library to provide form data bindings for re-frame.
[reframe-forms "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"]
Before anything else: our components rely on a set of re-frame events and subs to work.
(The subscription :reframe-forms/query to get values and the events :reframe-forms/set and reframe-forms/update to set/update values.)
You must require reframe-forms.events to register the default events:
(ns mywebsite.events
(:require
[mywebsite.db :as db]
[reframe-forms.events] ; <-------
[re-frame.core :as rf]))
...Or you can come up with your own implementation, of course. In either case I suggest you take a look at the source code if you are curious (or confused) about our implementation. I'm no MIT graduate, so it's very simple code, really.
The functionality rests on the input multimethod, and the textarea and select functions, at the reframe-forms.core namespace.
input is dispatches on the :type key and returns an input component.
; A number input:
[input {:name :user/age
:type :number}]Data binding occurs based on the :name key (either a keyword, or a vector of keys). It is used as a location in re-frame's app-db. :blog.post/title (or [:blog :post :title]), for instance, will point to {:blog {:post {:title ->input-data-here<-}}}.
All the inputs require only the :name and :type keys, with one exception: the :radio input requires a :value attribute.
The select input takes an optional :multiple attribute. If it is truthy, one or more values can be collected (into a set), and if falsey only one. As a second parameter select takes a coll of options with a :value attribute:
[select {:name :user/country, :multiple true}
[:option {:value "Brazil"}]
[:option {:value "United States of America"}]
[:option {:value "Portugal"}]]To set default values one has to give a key of :default-value for the text inputs and the select. For the :checkbox and :radio one must simply assign a :checked? true. Here's an example:
[select {:name :user/country, :multiple true, :default-value "United States of America"}
[:option {:value "Brazil"}]
[:option {:value "United States of America"}]
[:option {:value "Portugal"}]]Here is a usage example of several input types:
(ns my-website.blog
(:require
[reagent.core :as r]
[re-frame.core :as rf]
[reframe-forms.core :refer [input textarea]]))
