AutoForm is a smart package for Meteor that adds handlebars helpers to easily create basic forms with automatic insert and update events, and automatic reactive validation.
Fix AutoForm.getValidationContext to return correct context when no formId
argument is provided.
You can now set singleMethodArgument=true
as a form attribute on a method-update
type form, and your method will be called with a single object argument with _id
and modifier
properties. You should do this if using the mdg:validated-method package.
For "normal" type forms, don't end submission until this.done()
is called.
Sticky validation improvements
- Add API outside of hooks for settings and removing sticky validation errors
- Properly show sticky validation errors as soon as they are added
- Optimizations to keyup validation
Fix boolean-radios templates
- Add ability to specify a
data
attribute onafFieldInput
, which is then added to the data context of the input type template. (See the readme.) - Fix issue with submitting proper value when the
null
option is chosen for a boolean field - Fix issues with reactive reruns that change the form schema
- Adjust value returned from AutoForm.getFieldValue when the form isn't rendered yet
- Fix issue with autosaving changes to multiple select fields
- Adjustments to support BlazeComponents
- Fix width of array field when there is only one
- Fix initial value of contenteditable fields
Thanks to all who submitted PRs: @abecks, @kellyje, @bySabi, @vimes1984, @Nieziemski, @smeijer
Add jquery dependency for Meteor 1.2 compatibility
For boolean-radios
and boolean-select
input types, you can now use the nullLabel
attribute to specify a label (e.g., "None") for when the value is not set (or to unset it). For backwards compatibility, the boolean-radios
type will not render a radio element for unsetting unless you set nullLabel
.
Fix AutoForm.getFieldValue
so that it reacts properly when first called outside of the form, before the form has been rendered. Also attempt to limit unnecessary reruns.
- New
autoform.group
option. See "Grouping Fields" in README. (Thanks @SachaG) formToModifier
now works properly (Thanks @aramk)update-pushArray
forms now work properly when there is an array index in thescope
field- Other minor documentation and dependency changes
Better fix to afFieldValue
tracking for check boxes
Fix issue where afFieldValue
tracking didn't work for non-boolean radio buttons and check boxes.
- Fix
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'changed' of undefined
error - Fix for checkboxes and radio buttons not triggering form change event (Thanks @abecks)
- Add
ddp
attribute for specifying an alternative DDP connection for "method" and "method-update" forms (Thanks @patrickleet) - Add support for
formgroup-
prefix onafFormGroup
/afQuickField
attributes. For example,formgroup-class="foo"
adds "foo" class to the form group element. (Thanks @fknipp) - For Bootstrap theme templates, you can now specify
panelClass
,headingClass
, andbodyClass
attributes for theafObjectField
component. (Thanks @fknipp)
Fix issues with errors being thrown during reactive changes and issues with getting reactive field values.
Fix validation of typeless forms when done with AutoForm.validateForm()
Fix validation of typeless forms broken in 5.1.0 (Thanks @abecks)
- Fix date handling when dealing with very low year numbers. (Thanks @jfly)
- For
type="update"
andtype="method-update"
forms, aformToModifier
hook is called instead offormToDoc
, and it's passed a Mongo modifier. For forms with notype
attribute, bothformToDoc
andformToModifier
are called. (You should provide one or both based on whether you use the doc, the modifier, or both in youronSubmit
hook.) - Array handling was changed in 5.0 to support additional use cases. However, this change also resulted in a MongoDB array handling quirk no longer being masked by AutoForm. Since this caused confusion for many people, array handling is now reverted back to pre-5.0 behavior. If your form needs to update specific array items as opposed to entire arrays, you can opt in to the proper array handling by putting
setArrayItems=true
on yourautoForm
orquickForm
. - For "method" and "method-update" type forms, before hooks will now run before validation, unless you've specified both a
schema
attribute and acollection
attribute. In that case, validation against the form schema happens before the before hooks run, and validation against the collection schema happens after the before hooks run, before your method is called. - Changes to avoid benign errors being thrown.
- Fix potential for infinite loops related to tracking field values.
Compatible with Meteor v1.0.4+
Minor fixes
- Compatibility break: You can no longer do
options="auto"
, but you can dooptions=afOptionsFromSchema
for essentially the same effect. TheafOptionsFromSchema
helper requires that you have a property namedname
in the current context, which is set to the field name. - Compatibility break: The function signature for
AutoForm.getFieldValue
is reversed from(formId, fieldName)
to(fieldName, [formId])
withformId
optional. You must not pass theformId
argument when using it in a helper that is run within the context of the form. Conversely, you must passformId
if not calling it within an autoform. - Compatibility break: The
afFieldNames
helper now returns an array of objects withname
property instead of returning the array of names directly. - Compatibility break: The
method
form type now calls the server method with only one argument, the submitted form document. If your server method needs the update modifier and document _id instead of the document, change your form's type tomethod-update
. Thebefore
hooks for amethod-update
form are passed (and should return) the modifier object instead of the document. - Compatibility break: The arguments passed to "before" hooks have changed.
docId
andtemplate
are no longer passed as arguments but are available asthis.docId
andthis.template
. Only a single object,doc
is passed to every "before" hook. - Compatibility break: When defining "before" and "after" hooks for methods, use the word "method" instead of the method name. If you need different logic based on method name, you can examine
this.formAttributes.meteormethod
in your hook function. - Compatibility break: Hooks that were passed
formId
and/ortemplate
as arguments no longer receive those arguments. Usethis.formId
orthis.template
if you need them. - Compatibility break: If you have custom templates for
afFormGroup
orafObjectField
, change allthis.atts
references tothis
. - Compatibility break:
AutoForm.find()
is removed and should be replaced by a more specific call to one of the new API functions likeAutoForm.getFormId()
orAutoForm.getFormSchema()
orAutoForm.getFormCollection()
orAutoForm.getCurrentDataForForm()
orAutoForm.templateInstanceForForm()
. See current API docs. - Compatibility break:
noselect
attribute must be set totrue
without quotation marks. Any other value will have no effect. - You can now use
afFieldValueIs
andafFieldValueContains
helpers outside of the form in which the field appears if you addformId="myFormId"
attribute to them. - When providing options for a
select
orselect-multiple
input type, you can now add additional props to the objects in the options array and those properties will become attributes on theoption
element in the generated HTML. data-required
attribute is now present on the form groupdiv
element for all built-inafFormGroup
templates if the field is required. This allows you to use css like the following to display an asterisk after required fields:[data-required] label:after {content: '*'}
- There are no longer issues when your input type template name contains underscores.
- A new
update-pushArray
form type allows you to create insert-like forms that push the resulting document into an array field in an existing collection document. See the README and http://autoform.meteor.com/updatepush - Added
autosaveOnKeyup
form option. See README. - If you specify default attributes within an
autoform
object in your schema, any of the attributes may be functions that return their value, and when the function is calledthis.name
will be set to the current field name, which is helpful for fields that are nested in one or more arrays. - You can now add custom form types using
AutoForm.addFormType
. See the API documentation. The built-in form types are defined this way, too. This allows for a lot of flexibility in what happens upon validation and submission of a form. - In any form hook, you can now call
this.addStickyValidationError(key, type, [value])
to add a custom validation error that will not be overridden by subsequent revalidations on the client. This can be useful if you need to show a form error based on errors coming back from the server, and you don't want it to disappear when fields are revalidated on the client on blur, keyup, etc. The sticky error will go away when the form is reset (such as after a successful submission), when the form instance is destroyed, or when you callthis.removeStickyValidationError(key)
in any hook.
- Fixed "Can't set timers inside simulations" error (Thanks @SachaG)
- Switched Moment dependency to official
momentjs:moment
package
Fix AutoForm.getFieldValue
reactivity when the field is in an #if
block
- As an alternative to the current method of specifying
options
as an array of objects, you can now specify options as an object with {value: label} format. Values are coerced into the expected type. (Thanks @comerc) - When you have an update form with
autosave=true
, fields withtype="contenteditable"
now properly autosave. (Thanks @MichalW)
- The "boolean-radios" input type now outputs the correct field value (
true
,false
, orundefined
) in all cases. - The "boolean-checkbox" input type now always returns either
true
orfalse
as its value. Previously, it could returnundefined
instead offalse
sometimes. - You can now pass a comma-separated list of values to
afFieldValueContains
and it will returntrue
if any of those values are in the array. (thanks @comerc) - The "select-multiple" input type now has initial values set properly. (thanks @BigDSK)
- The "select-checkbox-inline" input type now has initial values set properly. (thanks @AlainPaumen)
- When handling submission with
onSubmit
, you can now callthis.done(null, result)
when done, andresult
will be passed toonSuccess
as the second argument. If there are multipleonSubmit
hooks, only the first provided result will be passed toonSuccess
. - When
onSuccess
is called after aninsert
,this.docId
is now set to the new document_id
. - Update forms should now reset properly (to values from database).
- Other fixes (thanks @zimme and @mjgallag)
Several fixes
Bug fix
This is a significant rewrite, and there are a number of changes that are not backwards compatible. The primary reason for the rewrite is to enable easier creation of custom form input types (autoform widgets) that can be provided by add-on packages. Some changes were also made to cut out features that were not providing much added value compared to the code they required.
- BREAKING The logic that determines what style template is used for a form or a component of a form is now different. Generally speaking, there are more potential places at which you can define the template to use, and it tries to use the template used by the closest ancestor component if not overridden.
- BREAKING The
AutoForm.inputValueHandlers
function is now gone. If you were using it, you should switch to the new method for defining custom input types. Refer to "Defining Custom Input Types" in the Readme. - BREAKING When your schema for a field includes the Email or Url regular expression built into SimpleSchema, AutoForm no longer automatically uses the
email
orurl
type, respectively, for the form input. You can manually set thetype
attribute or specifyautoform.type
in the schema. - BREAKING The
radio
andselect
attributes no longer do anything. Instead, specify an overridetype
attribute of "boolean-radios" or "boolean-select", respectively. - A new
AutoForm.getSchemaForField
function can be used within a template helper function to get the schema definition for a field by finding the closest autoForm and using the schema attached to it. - BREAKING The
afFieldLabel
component is gone. If you were using it, you should replace with your own label element usingafFieldLabelText
for the text, something like<label class="control-label">{{afFieldLabelText name='firstName'}}</label>
- BREAKING If you don't provide a
firstOption
attribute for a single select control, a default first option that says "(Select One)" is used. You can omit the first option usingfirstOption=false
, but it's best to have one in most cases to avoid confusing behavior. - BREAKING The
afFieldSelect
component is gone. See the demo for the new way to provide optgroups. - A new
AutoForm.invalidateFormContext
function can be called in situations where you reactively change thedoc
attribute of a form and you need to force the form to rerender. - You can now set
label="some text"
on anafFormGroup
(orafQuickField
) component to provide some label text instead of using the schema label. - Fix which element is passed as the updated element for autosave forms.
- Documentation corrections. (Thanks @paulellery and @jakozaur)
- Fixes to logic for throwing errors: don't do it if there are validation errors, and call endSubmit (e.g., to re-enable buttons) before doing it. (Thanks @jakozaur)
- Internal code revisions for better backwards and forewards compatibility (Thanks @SachaG)
- The bootstrap3-horizontal template now recognizes a
leftLabel
attribute that you can set totrue
on your boolean check box fields to put the check box label in the left column instead of to the right of the check box. - In hooks for update forms, you can now use
this.docId
to figure out which document is being updated. - In hooks for autosave forms, you can now use
this.autoSaveChangedElement
to get the element that caused the automatic form submission. You can use this, for example, to display some kind of indicator that the changed field was saved.
When AutoForm pre-validates, it now passes docId
to autoValue and custom context, just as collection2 would do.
- Fixes to form preservation during hot code push.
- You can now disable form preservation for a specific form by setting
preserveForm=false
attribute on theautoForm
orquickForm
. - Expose
formPreserve
object asAutoForm.formPreserve
. AddunregisterAllForms
method. You can now doAutoForm.formPreserve.unregisterForm(formId)
orAutoForm.formPreserve.unregisterAllForms()
to resolve strange issues due to faulty form preservation logic. - Support for
offset
attribute ondatetime-local
inputs is removed and replaced by atimezoneId
attribute, which should be set to a timezone ID thatmoment-timezone
understands. You'll also need to add themoment-timezone
library to your app, for example, by adding themrt:moment-timezone
Meteor package. - If a form has no
onError
orafter
hooks, insert, update, and method call errors are now thrown. - Other fixes
Minor fix to template selection logic. Make sure default template is always used if specific template is not found.
Update collection2 weak dependency to 2.0.0.
Minor fixes (thanks @aramk) and use 0.9.1 core packages, which means you can't use this one on 0.9.0. Not my fault; blame Meteor.
- Removed
afDeleteButton
- Removed support for
type="remove"
forms - Updates for >=1.0.0 dependencies on aldeed:simple-schema and aldeed:collection2
- Made the array tracker object public as
AutoForm.arrayTracker
. This allows you to, for example, add and remove array item fields from code. - Add support for
initialCount
attribute onafArrayField
andafEachArrayItem
components. By default, if there is nodoc
attached to the form, there is initially 1 item field shown, or minCount fields if minCount is greater than 1. This logic is unchanged, but now you can override that default initial count to be something other than 1, including 0. Note that minCount will still always take precedence. - Previously, the component template that generates a form group was prefixed with
afQuickField_
. Now it is prefixed withafFormGroup_
, and this template is rendered also when you use a newafFormGroup
component. This separation allowsafQuickField
to act solely as a logic component; it decides whether a particular key should be rendered usingafArrayField
,afObjectField
, orafFormGroup
, and then forwards all your attributes to the chosen component. SoafQuickField
no longer has a template associated with it. To update your code, change "afQuickField_" to "afFormGroup_" for any custom templates you have, and if you are callingAutoForm.setDefaultTemplateForType
for "afQuickField", change it to "afFormGroup". - You can set
trimStrings
attributes tofalse
on an autoForm or quickForm to change the default behavior for document cleaning for that form. - You can now set
autoform.omit
totrue
in the schema definition for a field to prevent it from ever being included in quickForms, afObjectFields, afArrayFields, etc. This is useful for autoValue properties such ascreatedAt
that you know you will not want on a form.
Fix for Dates being stripped out on submission
- Requires Meteor 0.8.2+
- Fix issue with datetime-local field being 12 hours off
- The
autoform
attribute is no longer ever necessary. AutoForm can locate the closest form no matter how many times you use blocks that change the context within a form. - If you set
buttonContent=false
on aquickForm
, it won't generate a button. - BREAKING! If you provide
buttonClasses
attribute on aquickForm
, the bootstrap templates no longer add "btn btn-primary" to your classes. type="remove"
forms and theafDeleteButton
are now deprecated but still work for now. Use the delete-button package.- Most hooks now have
this.event
,this.template
,this.formId
, andthis.resetForm()
. You can usethis.formId
in conjunction with a global hook to implement hook logic for multiple forms. - You can set
filter
,autoConvert
, and/orremoveEmptyStrings
attributes tofalse
on an autoForm or quickForm to change the default behavior for document cleaning for that form. - You can now call
AutoForm.debug()
to enable additional logging during development. - Add
afQuickFields
component. See readme. - When all fields that comprise a sub-object are empty, we now unset the whole sub-object. This prevents issues when some of the properties are required, but the sub-object itself is optional.
An insert form will now insert properly even if the collection
does not have an attached schema.
- Fix error when you add
autoform
to your app but notsimple-schema
. - You can now use object dot notation when setting collection or schema for a form as a string, for example,
collection="App.Collections.Posts"
orschema="Schemas.Post"
. (Thanks @czeslaaw) - You can now easily tell an update form to save (submit) whenever the value in one of its fields changes. Put
autosave=true
on theautoForm
orquickForm
.
- Fixes to submission validation logic for forms that have both
collection
andschema
- More useful
Error
instance is passed toonError
hooks
Fix to code that gathers form values so that custom object prototypes are not lost.
When submitting, ensure that validation is always skipped when validation="none"
for the form.
Fix submission logic so that validation happens before insert and update "before" hooks only when there's an override schema.
BREAKING CHANGES TO FORM SUBMISSION AND HOOKS:
- You can no longer call a
meteormethod
in addition to performing other types of submission. Yourmeteormethod
will be called only iftype="method"
. onSubmit
hooks can now perform async tasks if necessary. You must add athis.done()
call to all of youronSubmit
hooks. Refer to the hooks documentation in the readme.onSubmit
hooks are now called only if your form has notype
attribute. If you have anonSubmit
hook for a form, remove thetype
attribute from that form and be sure that youronSubmit
hook returnsfalse
. If you were usingonSubmit
to cancel submission for an insert, update, or method form, you can do that by returningfalse
from a "before" hook instead.
Other non-breaking changes:
- "before" hooks for insert, update, and method forms can now perform async tasks if necessary. Existing synchronous hooks do not need any changes. Refer to the hooks documentation in the readme.
- Improved logic for form resetting, and
AutoForm.resetForm
method works better.
Fixed an issue where afFieldValueIs
and afFieldValueContains
helpers did not correctly recognize boolean values upon first form render.
- Added
afArrayFieldIsFirstVisible
andafArrayFieldIsLastVisible
helpers. (Thanks @camelaissani!) - Added
AutoForm.validateForm(formId)
for validating the current data in a form without submitting it. - Added
AutoForm.getValidationContext(formId)
, which returns the form's SimpleSchema validation context. Use this to easily manually add validation errors, check current validity, etc. - BREAK: String fields with a schema
max
value of 150 or greater are no longer automatically rendered astextarea
. To force a textarea, add arows
attribute either on the field or in theautoform
object in the schema. - When you add
type
attribute to anafQuickField
for an object or array field, the type is now correctly respected. - When you override the
type
attribute tohidden
for a boolean field, the extracted field value is now correctly converted back to a boolean.
Fix error that occurs when denyInsert
or denyUpdate
is in form schema and quickForm
or afObjectField
is used.
The ability to omit fields within objects and arrays from a quickForm is restored.
Properly set checked
state on check box and radio groups
Fix add array item button when used not within an afArrayItem template
- The document
_id
is now passed as the third argument to your server method when you submit a form withtype="method"
. This, combined with the modifier in the second argument, allows you to do anupdate
in your method. - More internal changes to simplify the code and guard against edge cases.
- Many changes that simplify custom template creation. If you have created custom templates, they will most likely need to be updated. Look at the revised built-in templates for guidance.
- Fixed bootstrap-horizontal template to work with object and array fields.
- Added
AutoForm.validateField
. See the readme. - Fixed schema validation upon submission when using both a
schema
attribute and acollection
attribute.
- Added
AutoForm.inputValueHandlers
method. See the readme. - More array field fixes
placeholder="schemaLabel"
now reactively updates the placeholder along with the label.- Added
beginSubmit
andendSubmit
hooks, which allow you to override the default UI changes during submission. See the readme. - You can now define hooks for a form generated by
afDeleteButton
. - You can now define default autoform field attributes in the schema. Add an
autoform
option to the schema for the field, and set it equal to an object that contains the default attributes you want. This makes it possible to use quickForms more often. For example:
values: {
type: [String],
optional: true,
minCount: 2,
maxCount: 4,
autoform: {
options: [
{label: "One", value: "One"},
{label: "Two", value: "Two"},
{label: "Three", value: "Three"}
],
noselect: true,
template: "myCustomTemplate"
}
}
- Lots of internal code reorganization to make the other changes possible and make it easier for other contributors to understand.
Thanks to @Batistleman and @patrickleet for contributions.
- API Change: boolean attributes on inputs are now passed through to the generated HTML only if the value is
true
or"true"
or""
. This is different from HTML in which boolean attributes take effect simply by being present. This change allows you to reactively add or remove a boolean attribute in a simple way, for example,{{> afQuickField name='status' disabled=canEditStatus}}
. You should review any boolean attributes you use on autoform fields to ensure that they have the correct value, or they may no longer show up in the HTML. - Fixed an issue where reactive lists of check box inputs would have incorrect check boxes selected after the list changed
- Removed
for
attribute from radio labels in the bootstrap3 template, since it should not be there; makes the labels correctly clickable - Completely rewrote behind-the-scenes array field tracking, fixing a number of issues with adding and removing array fields and correctly updating arrays
- Before hooks are now passed the template instance
formToDoc
anddocToForm
hooks are now passed the SimpleSchema instance and formid
, which is useful if you define them globally (passnull
for the first argument ofAutoForm.addHooks
)
- Support for limiting the number of items in an array field. See "afArrayField" section in the README.
- In the default templates, when you can't add or remove array items, the corresponding buttons are hidden.
- You can now specify fields that are in objects within arrays in the
omitFields
attribute on aquickForm
. For example,names.$.first
. (Thanks @picsoung!) - Clearing all check boxes for an optional array field will now properly unset the field.
- Other bug fixes (Thanks @jfols and @BasilPH)
- Disabled fields are no longer submitted or included in the generated insert or update object.
- Changes that prevent global helpers from potentially interfering with correct autoform generation. (Thanks @mjgallag)
- Fix contenteditable field. (Thanks @chrisbutler)
- Ensure that
template
attribute is not added to the DOM element for all components - Add
afFieldValueContains
, likeafFieldValueIs
but for checking whether an array field contains the value - Add reactive
AutoForm.getFieldValue
method, useful for creating helpers to support more advanced field filtering based on combinations of current field values - Add
bootstrap3-horizontal
built-in template - Documentation improvements:
afObjectField
andafArrayField
components are now documented, and added link to the autogenerated public API documentation
Remove unintentional console log
Minor fixes for afFieldValueIs
helper
Add afFieldValueIs
helper for dynamic show/hide of form sections based on the current value of any field.
Fix an issue where generated modifiers sometimes had the same field listed in both $set
and $unset
.
Improve some error messages
- Add
omitFields
attribute forquickForm
. Similar to thefields
attribute but for blacklisting instead of whitelisting.
Much thanks to @gdhuse for the following fixes and enhancements:
- Add option to replace hooks instead of extending the current list when calling
hooks
oraddHook
. - Allow insert/update forms without a
collection
attribute if there is at least oneonSubmit
hook and at least oneonSubmit
hook returnsfalse
. - Fix issue with array fields
- Fix issue with update modifiers created from autoform field values.
Fix issue with datetime fields
Minor fix
Blaze/0.8.0 support and lots more, including breaking changes. Refer to the transition notes at the top of the README. If you're still using Spark (pre-0.8.0), use the 0.4.x version. The old version of autoform can be found on the spark
branch. It won't receive any more changes, except for critical fixes. Onward!
Better implementation of defaultValue
support
- Use jQuery to fix issues related to maintaining selections in a cross-browser way. (Thanks @mjgallag)
- Use schema
defaultValue
as default value for boolean controls.
A couple more bug fixes related to cleaning objects.
Bug fix for validation of updates when auto values are involved. (Thanks @mjgallag)
Add support for contenteditable
input type. (Thanks @chrisbutler)
- Labels are now generated with "for" attribute
- QuickForms work better with schemas containing objects now. The object is
treated as a
fieldset
with its child fields nested within. This only works to one level deep. - The
updateDoc
passed to anonSubmit
handler is no longer validated before being passed. TheinsertDoc
is still validated. - Changes to account for
autoValue
anddefaultValue
options now available in the SimpleSchema package.
The execution flow for hooks has been improved. The onError
hook is now
always called if there's an error at any point in the form submission process,
and it will never be called more than once. Also, any "before" hooks are now
executed before the onSubmit
hook. (Thanks @blazer82)
Changes related to SimpleSchema package changes. No visible changes.
Add support for fields
attribute on quickForm
. Bind an array or specify
a comma-delimited string of field names to include. Only the listed fields
will be included, and they'll appear in the order you specify.
- Don't include fields in quickForms if their name contains "$"
- Use
textarea
instead ofinput[type=text]
if the schema type isString
, no specific type attribute is specified, and the current value of the doc contains line break characters. - Within an
onSubmit
function, you can now accessthis.event
andthis.template
. - Specify
element="none"
orelement="span"
on afFieldLabel to get just the text or to use a<span>
element, respectively. quickForm
andafQuickField
now support atemplate
attribute, allowing you to define your own template to be used for the quick fields.- Provide
resetOnSuccess
attribute to specify auto-reset behavior for a specific autoform.
Add explicit cleaning since SimpleSchema validation does not do it anymore
Fix error when a source doc has null values
Minor internal change to adjust for changes made to the internal schema in the SimpleSchema package.
- quickForm no longer displays fields for denyInsert or denyUpdate keys when building an insert or update form, respectively.
- Fix an issue with being able to pass a Collection2 as the autoForm schema. (This is not recommended anyway.)
- Automatically disable the submit button while submitting an autoform.
Ensure docToForm hook is called
Add onSuccess and onError hooks
- Fix issues, introduced by 0.4.3, where select, checkbox, and radio form values were not always correct.
- Throw errors in afFieldMessage and afFieldIsInvalid helpers when the field name used doesn't exist in the schema. (Other helpers already did this.)
- Add two new "type" options for quickForms: "readonly" and "disabled". See README.
- When displaying a quickForm, use the allowedValues from the schema as the options.
Update to use MongoObject to create flatDoc. Fixes an issue caused by recent SimpleSchema API changes.
- New API. The old API is deprecated but continues to work for now with warning
messages logged. See the README and warning messages. The main difference is
that the various hooks/callbacks are centralized in a
hooks()
method, but this is available only onAutoForm
instances, so you need to wrap yourCollection2
instance in anAutoForm
on the client and then attach hooks to the autoform, passing the autoform as theschema
attribute for yourautoForm
helper. Also, the server methods have all been removed, making this a purely client package. This means you should now define aSimpleSchema
in common code and use that to create anAutoForm
instance on the client only. This allows you to still validate against the sameSimpleSchema
on both the client and the server. See examples in the README. - You can now set
options
to the string "allowed" forafFieldInput
orafQuickField
. This causes the schema'sallowedValues
to be used as the values (and labels) for the select element. If you want to capitalize the first letter of the labels, setcapitalize="true"
. (Thanks @gdhuse!) - SimpleSchema error messages with HTML will now display correctly when you use
an
afQuickField
. (Thanks @gdhuse!)
Improve handling of key names that use dot notation to indicate a property of
an object in an array, for example, friends.0.name
.
Backwards-compatibility break! Handling of Date
fields was limited and saved
Date
objects were not correct. If you have previously saved Date
objects
from an autoform date
input, you will have to manually convert the saved values
to correct them after upgrading to this release. If it is only the date you care
about and not the time, all dates in your mongo collections must represent
midnight in the UTC time zone on the morning of the correct date. Refer to the
Dates section of the README
for details about how date inputs work now.
Support min/max functions
Add framework override support; current usage is only to specify "none" to skip the bootstrap3 classes
Fix object expansion
Improve object collapsing. Ensures that the values of keys with dot notation appear in the fields for edit forms.
Fix IE<10 errors
Fixes to date inputs
Updated to work with 0.2.0 versions of collection2 and simple-schema packages. The autoform features should be backwards-compatible, but the collection2 and simple-schema APIs have changed, so you may need to make changes. To make sure everything works as you expect, it's strongly recommended that you include a unique id
attribute on every autoForm
helper.
- Fix IE<10 issue
- Use
submit form
event handler instead of button click handlers - Add support for binding an
onSubmit
handler to an autoForm using theonSubmit
helper attribute. - Don't include
form-control
class on radio buttons and check boxes - Submit the form normally after validating if none of the special actions are used
Fix input helper to use value passed in value
attribute if no doc is attached to the autoform.
- For autoforms that call a server method, server-side validation is no longer performed automatically. This had to be removed to fix a security issue. After updating to 0.2.0, you must call
check()
in the Meteor method. - Add
formToDoc
anddocToForm
functions. See the readme. - Improve keyup validation
- Allow direct binding of Collection2 or AutoForm object to autoForm helper through the schema attribute. Passing in the string name of a global object is still supported, but binding is the preferred method now.
