Hello,
I was thinking about some enhancements about the forms handling. I also have
a little question about form models serialization.
The form controller
-----------------------
I remember I already requested something similar but I can no longer found
the topic on this forum.
Sometimes, it's rather useful to create some hierarchy inside forms. For
instance, with codes like this :
...
form.add(formitem, "Label", null, "items.item1");
...
and the form controller will then create the associate "map model" with the
specified hierarchy automatically.
I was wondering if you - I suppose Martin is more likely to be in charge of
it :) - can also take into account arrays. For instance, by dealing with
this kind of code:
...
form.add(formitem, "Label", null, "items[0]");
form.add(formitem2, "Label2", null, "items[1]");
...
or even better:
...
form.add(formitem, "Label", null, "items[]");
form.add(formitem2, "Label2", null, "items[]");
...
Because when the serializer is called, the following code
...
form.add(formitem, "Label", null, "items.0");
...
will be transformed into this:
{items:{'0':somevalue ...}} and not {items:[somevalue,...]}.
That's a bit problematic then when remote requests are send to server.
Form item placeholders
-----------------------------
I was wondering if it was possible to show placeholders even if the form
elements are disabled.
Form Model Serialization
------------------------------
The form model serialization functions are really useful but I was wondering
how I could automatically ignore unchecked radio buttons or checkboxes.
Because the serialisation operation returns the entire model - what sounds
logical to me. But it is a bit annoying to get the "false" values too. After
the serialisation process, I am always forced to inspect the entire
generated object again and remove the false values. This kind of problem is
also relevant for disabled form elements.
...
Voilà, I think it's all for now :)
Have a nice day,
Best,
Benoît.
