Form Layouts

Because we are using Underscore Templating Engine, So, We can use Global Functions inside Templates. And some properties are not defined than you can check for them with the help of this special object reference Object.

Memorize Form State

Except Input Type file , Input Fileds can Memorize its State, And to Memorize form State, we are using data-value custom attribute with each input type. And when we render or load saved form from LocalStorage, formgenlib trigger load events, that we used to load value form data-value attribute and inject into that Input Fields.
There is one toolbar to save, clean and load form states.
  • clean - clear LocalStorage
  • save - Save Current Form State to LocalStorage
  • load - Load previously saved form State
    • You can save one state for one form
    • Because we are Using form_key attribute to save Form state into LocalStorage
    • If You want to load saved state from Server (Backend)
    • Then Each Component schema should have either value or values attribute according to their schema.

Example

  • This is sample Javascript code that Generate HTML form for First Time
    • And save to localStorage
  • Next, time Form will loaded from LocalStorage
  • If You want it to re-render HTML Form
    • Then set the value LocalStorage.isClean = "false"
