Hello guys,
I'm often using forms without anything to do persistence and RDBMS related, but I would like to be able to use Fields (StringField, EmailField, my owns, etc), validation, error management, etc. without having everything to manage by hand.
Actually, I would like to be able to use fields without backend but with all the "domain <-> client" part. Is it possible ?
I thought that wizards may have been the answer, but it seems that they use mappers.
In a second point, I would like to know if there is a way to have standard hooks defined along a form processing request, like onPrepare (init fields), "onValidate" (field cross validation), "onFormSuccess/Error" (clean error, field from session, save), etc, and with something to store validation errors.
How does Lift handle that ? Perhaps it's just some convention to follow like prepare=snippet instanciation, validation=when the submit closure is called, onerror=if the error tracker object has registered errors, etc. If so what are the one you are following ?
Form handling, with validation, is a part that is still a little fuzzy for me, and I would love to have a more systematic way to handle it than in a case by case basis.
