Hi community,
I was wondering: what is a nice and efficient way to do the following
in Lift:
I would like to create a form where users can dynamically add fields
for a specific type of data. For instance, say I have a form with the
fields name, display name and date of birth. Of course, I can create a
a snippet where I can do my validation and other handling. Now I want
to add a button that adds an additional field, but I don't know
beforehand how the input of this new form field should be handled. The
options a user can pick from is fixed (for instance numeric field,
text field, email field, etc.) so that I can write validation and
handling for a specific type, but the user should be free to add as
many fields as he likes, of any type he likes.
Let me give you an example:
the current form contains:
name, display name, date of birth.
One user clicks a button, and wants to add a phone number field, so
that his form will display:
name, display name, date of birth, phone number
However, another user might add another type of field, for instance a
zipcode field, so that his form will display:
name, display name, date of birth, zipcode
Of course, a field that expects a phone number should be validated
differently than a field that expects a zipcode.
How do I create this dynamic kind of form, since I can not map the
form fields directly to a fixed set of objects in my snippets, because
this is not known beforehand, but depends on user input. I hope you
understand my question, and that you have some good suggestions.
Thanks!
