I think the idea is to be a little more declarative on defining the form and
separate the low-level concerns of handling all the events to a more generic
form handler,
object ShipToForm extends Form {
val name = Variable[String](customerName)
val address1: Variable[String]()
val address2: Variable[String]()
val state: Variable[String]()
val zip: Variable[String]()
val form =
TextField("Name", name, StringLengthValidator(30)) ++
TextField("Address 1", address1, StringLengthValidator(20)) ++
TextField("Address 2", address2, StringLengthValiator(20)) ++
TextField("State", state, listOfStates) ++
TextField("Zip", zip, ZipCodeValidator) ++
) ++ FullAddressValidator(address1, address2, state, zip)
val onSubmit = {
// everything has been validated
}
}
bind("shipTo", AjaxifyForm(ShipToForm))
or
bind("shipTo", PlainOldForm(ShipToForm))
