Re: [FlexJS] Form component?

2) A form-like thing for RIAs/single-page apps.  We might need someone to 
research how other JS frameworks handle single-screen apps and Forms. 
Maybe they don't use Form under the covers and replicate a lot of the 
functionality, or maybe there is some way to override the Form action and 
keep your app running. 
- this can be achieved using "VerticalColumnLayout" & HTTPService call. No
separate  control should be required.

Re: [FlexJS] Form component?

2016-10-17 Thread Josh Tynjala
Other JS frameworks use a real HTML form to preserve semantics. You can
call preventDefault() on the submit event to stop the browser from sending
data to the server and navigating to a new page.

Re: [FlexJS] Form component?

2016-10-17 Thread Alex Harui
If I understand this thread, we actually need two kinds of Forms:

1) A low-level wrapper for HTMLFormElement.  So what if it exits you out
of the app to another HTML page.  Maybe that's all you need.
2) A form-like thing for RIAs/single-page apps.  We might need someone to
research how other JS frameworks handle single-screen apps and Forms.
Maybe they don't use Form under the covers and replicate a lot of the
functionality, or maybe there is some way to override the Form action and
keep your app running.

I'm in the middle of trying to a FlexJS mobile example to look nice on
both iOS and Android, but I will add this to my todo list! I'm sure we can
collaborate on it along with anyone else familiar with forms and how they
think it should go in the flex world. Personally, I like to do as little
as possible as a developer, so maybe Form is a bigger player and not
suitable for the basic component set.

Re: [FlexJS] Form component?

2016-10-17 Thread Carlos Rovira
Hi Peter,

makes perfect sense. Maybe this is a more advance component and will be
better managed in your hands, since I'm still in the process of understand
many things here. Moreover I'm making some progress in MDL branch, so If
you want to grab it feel free to do it. I think a Form component is one of
the basic pieces, and many people would come to FlexJS and will try this as
one of the first things.

Thanks

Re: [FlexJS] Form component?

2016-10-17 Thread Peter Ent

When you do this in HTML, the action (eg,
www.example.com?q=loc=miami=weather) sends all of the fields to the
server which then sends back a new HTML page with the results. A lot of
things happen automatically for you, such as pairing the values of the
input fields with their IDs to form the query string or the POST.

In Flex, maybe the Form has the ability to look at all its children for
TextInput or IFormInput controls and gets their values and IDs and
composes a FormActionEvent. A controller could listen for that, and cause
an HTTPService to be invoked. When the controller gets the result back, it
dispatches an event which something is listening for and then transitions
from the Form to the next view (eg a Chart).

Basically, I think the Form action should be more than just a URL in Flex;
probably an event. Maybe in FlexJS all of the data extraction is the job
of the app developer to do as they see fit and FlexJS really doesn't do
much more than that.

Hi Peter,

makes sense. I was wrong with "action" property...is working ok right now
(maybe some wrong compilation), and right now if you hit ENTER, it goes to
www.example.com, so regarding what you say, you mean to add some
controller/model to the implementation?

Re: [FlexJS] Form component?

2016-10-17 Thread Peter Ent
Shouldn't it be possible for the action on a  to trigger an event
that the application code (or its main controller) could use that would
then decide to either open a new URL or go to a different FlexJS view?
Usually, I would think, an HTML Form's action takes you to another part of
the web "application" like the next set of forms to fill out or to submit
your change of address. In the case of Flex, such an action usually
triggers a HTTPService call that then displays more Flex UI based on the
result of the HTTPService call.

Re: [FlexJS] Form component?

2016-10-17 Thread Carlos Rovira
I upload to develop a first working implementation of form, still no
functionality, but is nesting elements inside and showing correctly in HTML
while surrounded by  tag. Only JS considerations (no SWF)

My first question is how is managed properties in FlexJS. We don't have
commitProperties, so  I supposed this was straight forward and implemented
an "action" property like this:

private var _action:String = "#";

[Bindable("actionChange")]
/**
 *  The action to be performed when the form is submitted
 *
 *  @langversion 3.0
 *  @playerversion Flash 10.2
 *  @playerversion AIR 2.6
 *  @productversion FlexJS 0.0
 */
public function get action():String
{
return _action;
}

/**
 *  @private
 */
public function set action(value:String):void
{
_action = value;

COMPILE::JS
{
this.element.setAttribute('action', action);
this.dispatchEvent('actionChange');
}
}

So using it as:

http://www.example.com;>
...

Should translate to

http://www.example.com;>
...

but it remains action="#"

so someone could point me on how implement getter/setters in FlexJS?

Thanks

That would be great.  And an example or test that shows what Form can do
would help folks implement a SWF equivalent.

Seems like it should go in the HTML.swc

I don't really know enough about Form to provide early guidance.  Let's
see what you come up with and go from there.

Re: [FlexJS] Form component?

2016-10-17 Thread Carlos Rovira
Hi Alex,

maybe I could implement it. It needs few things, action(normal the url to
call when submit the form). the method (GET, POST).
And we should allow to next input elements... I think to start something
basic should be ok.

To make it I would need some guidance about what component to extend, and
where lib to do it (Core? html?)
And whatever consideration you know about the actual flexjs framework.


Thanks

Correct.  I don't think we've wrapped HTML form.  There is a Flex-like
Form layout called VerticalColumnLayout, but I think an HTML Form
component is different from that.  I haven't worked much with HTML forms
so I'm not quite sure what needs to be done.

Hi,

what about to deal with html forms? I think (as I searched) we have no form
component yet in FlexJS, right?
