dynamicForm jQuery Plugin

jQuery.fn.dynamicForm

This plugin manages dynamically defined forms and their properties. New instances of the dynamicForm plugin should not be manually created. Instances are initialized when they dynamic configuration form is rendered by the platform.

Methods

getValues

Gets an object representing all of the property id / value pairs in the form.

// get values
var v = $('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('getValues');

val

Gets or sets the value of the property with the specified id.

// get a value
var v = $('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('val', 'id_of_property');

// set a value
$('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('val', 'id_of_property', 'new_value');

dataType

Returns the string representation of the data type of the property specified by its identifier.

var dataType = $('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('dataType', 'id_of_property');

hasValue

Returns true if the property specified by its identifier (or all properties specified by an array of identifiers) has a value, otherwise false. For boolean properties, hasValue only returns true if the value of the boolean is true.

var hasValue = $('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('hasValue', 'id_of_property');

var allHaveValues = $('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('hasValue', ['id_of_property', 'id_of_property2', 'id_of_property3']);

onChange

Registers a function for notification when one or more properties are changed.

$('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('onChange', 'id_of_property', function(o) {
  alert(o.id + ' changed to ' + o.val);
});

$('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('onChange', ['id_of_property', 'id_of_property2', 'id_of_property3'], function(o) {
  alert(o.id + ' changed to ' + o.val);
});

$('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('onChange', function(o) {
  alert(o.id + ' changed to ' + o.val);
});

hide

Attempts to hide the visual representation of one or more properties. A property is hidden when any source or sources (identified by sourceId) request the property to be hidden.

$('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('hide', 'id_of_property', 'id_of_source');

$('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('hide', ['id_of_property', 'id_of_property2', 'id_of_property3'], 'id_of_source');

show

Attempts to show the visual representation of one or more properties. A property is shown when no other sources (identified by sourceId) are hiding the property.

$('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('show', 'id_of_property', 'id_of_source');

$('SELECTOR').dynamicForm('show', ['id_of_property', 'id_of_property2', 'id_of_property3'], 'id_of_source');
