Discourse toolkit to render forms

[system]

Basic Usage

FormKit exposes a single component as its public API: <Form />. All other elements are yielded as contextual components, modifiers, or plain data.

Every form is composed of one or multiple fields, representing the value, validation, and metadata of a control. Each field encapsulates a control, which is the form element the user interacts with to enter data, such as an input or select. The control type is specified via @type on the field. Other utilities, like submit or alert, are also provided.

Here is the most basic example of a form:

import Component from "@glimmer/component";
import { action } from "@ember/object";
import Form from "discourse/components/form";

export default class MyForm extends Component {
  @action
  handleSubmit(data) {
    // do something with data
  }

  <template>
    <Form @onSubmit={{this.handleSubmit}} as |form|>
      <form.Field
        @name="username"
        @title="Username"
        @validation="required"
        @type="input"
        as |field|
      >
        <field.Control />
      </form.Field>

      <form.Field @name="age" @title="Age" @type="input-number" as |field|>
        <field.Control />
      </form.Field>

      <form.Submit />
    </Form>
  </template>
}

Form

Yielded Parameters

form

The Form component yields a form object containing contextual components and helper functions.

Common members include:

• Field, Object, Collection, Fieldset, Row, Section, Container
• Submit, Reset, Button, Alert, Actions
• CheckboxGroup, InputGroup, ConditionalContent
• set(name, value), setProperties(object), addItemToCollection(name, value)

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Row as |row|>
    <!-- ... -->
  </form.Row>
</Form>

transientData

transientData is the form’s current draft state. It starts as a clone of @data, updates as the user edits fields, and does not mutate the original @data object.

This is useful if you want to have conditionals in your form based on other fields.

Example

<Form as |form transientData|>
  <form.Field @name="amount" @title="Amount" @type="input-number" as |field|>
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>

  {{#if (gt transientData.amount 200)}}
    <form.Field @name="confirmed" @title="Confirm" @type="checkbox" as |field|>
      <field.Control>I know what I'm doing</field.Control>
    </form.Field>
  {{/if}}
</Form>

Arguments

@data

Initial state of the form data.

FormKit expects a plain JavaScript object (POJO). Internally it clones that object into draft state, tracks patches, and only mutates its own internal copy.

Keys matching field @names are prepopulated automatically, including nested object and collection paths.

@data is treated as immutable. Edits do not mutate the original object you pass in. If you need to keep some external state in sync while editing, do that explicitly in @onSet.

When deriving a form object from a model, prefer a cached getter:

@cached
get formData() {
  return getProperties(this.model, "foo", "bar", "baz");
}

Parameter

• data (Object): The data object passed to the template.

Example

<Form @data={{hash foo="bar"}} as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="foo" @title="Foo" @type="input" as |field|>
    <!-- This input will have "bar" as its initial value -->
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

@onRegisterApi

Callback called when the form instance is created. It allows the developer to interact with the form through JavaScript.

Parameters

• callback (Object): The object containing callback functions.
• callback.get (Function): Returns the current value for a field name.
• callback.submit (Function): Function to submit the form.
• callback.reset (Function): Function to reset the form.
• callback.set (Function): Function to set a key/value on the form data object.
• callback.setProperties (Function): Function to set an object on the form data object.
• callback.addError (Function): Function to add an error programmatically.
• callback.removeError (Function): Function to remove a single field error.
• callback.removeErrors (Function): Function to clear all errors.
• callback.isDirty (boolean): Tracked property exposing the dirty state of the form. It becomes true after changes are made and returns to false after reset.

Example

registerAPI({ get, submit, reset, set, addError }) {
  // Interact with the form API
  get("foo");
  submit();
  reset();
  set("foo", 1);
  addError("foo", { title: "Foo", message: "Something went wrong" });
}

<Form @onRegisterApi={{this.registerAPI}} />

@onSubmit

Callback called when the form is submitted and valid.

Parameters

• data (Object): The current draft data for the form.

Example

handleSubmit({ username, age }) {
  console.log(username, age);
}

<Form @onSubmit={{this.handleSubmit}} as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="username" @title="Username" @type="input" as |field|>
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>
  <form.Field @name="age" @title="Age" @type="input-number" as |field|>
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>
  <form.Submit />
</Form>

@onReset

Callback called after FormKit rolls the draft data back to its initial state and clears errors.

Parameters

• data (Object): The rolled-back draft data.

Example

handleReset(data) {
  console.log("reset to", data);
}

<Form @data={{this.formData}} @onReset={{this.handleReset}} as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="username" @title="Username" @type="input" as |field|>
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>

  <form.Reset />
</Form>

@validate

A custom validation callback added directly to the form. This runs once per validation pass, after field-level validation.

Example

@action
myValidation(data, { addError }) {
  if (data.foo !== data.bar) {
    addError("foo", { title: "Foo", message: "Bar must be equal to Foo" });
  }
}

<Form @validate={{this.myValidation}} />

An asynchronous example:

@action
async myValidation(data, { addError }) {
  try {
    await ajax("/check-username", {
      type: "POST",
      data: { username: data.username }
    });
  } catch(e) {
    addError("username", { title: "Username", message: "Already taken!" });
  }
}

@validateOn

Controls when FormKit should validate.

• Accepted values: submit (default), change, focusout, and input.

Example

<Form @validateOn="change" />

@onDirtyCheck

Callback used during route transitions when the form is dirty. Return a truthy value to show the built-in “dirty form” confirmation dialog, or a falsy value to skip it.

Parameters

• transition (Transition): The Ember route transition being processed.

Example

@action
onDirtyCheck(transition) {
  return transition.to?.name !== "wizard.step";
}

<Form @onDirtyCheck={{this.onDirtyCheck}} />

Field

@name

A field must have a unique name. This name is used to read/write the value on the form data object and is also used for validation.

Names cannot contain . or -. Dots are reserved for nested paths such as profile.location.city.

Example

<form.Field @name="foo" @title="Foo" @type="input" as |field|>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

@title

A field must have a title. It will be displayed above the control and is also used in validation.

Example

<form.Field @name="foo" @title="Foo" @type="input" as |field|>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

@type

A field must have a type. This determines which control component is rendered. The available types are:

• Input types: input (defaults to text), input-text, input-number, input-email, input-password, input-url, input-tel, input-date, input-time, input-datetime-local, input-color, input-month, input-week, input-range, input-search, input-hidden
• Other controls: checkbox, code, calendar, color, composer, custom, emoji, icon, image, menu, password, question, radio-group, select, tag-chooser, textarea, toggle

Example

<form.Field @name="foo" @title="Foo" @type="input" as |field|>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

@description

The description is optional and will be shown under the title when set.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="foo"
  @title="Foo"
  @description="Bar"
  @type="input"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

@helpText

The help text is optional and will be shown under the field when set.

Example

<form.Field @name="foo" @title="Foo" @helpText="Baz" @type="input" as |field|>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

@showTitle

By default, the title will be shown on top of the control. You can choose not to render it by setting this property to false.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="foo"
  @title="Foo"
  @showTitle={{false}}
  @type="input"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

@disabled

A field can be disabled to prevent any changes to it.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="foo"
  @title="Foo"
  @disabled={{true}}
  @type="input"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

@tooltip

Allows to display a tooltip next to the field’s title. Won’t display if title is not shown.
You can pass a string or a <DTooltip /> component.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field
    @name="foo"
    @title="Foo"
    @type="input"
    @tooltip="a nice input"
    as |field|
  >
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field
    @name="foo"
    @title="Foo"
    @type="input"
    @tooltip={{component DTooltip content="a nice input"}}
    as |field|
  >
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

@validation

Read the dedicated validation section.

@validate

Read the dedicated custom validation section.

@onSet

By default, when changing the value of a field, this value will be set on the form’s internal data object. However, you can choose to have full control over this process for a field.

Example

@action
handleFooChange(value, { set, name, parentName, index }) {
  set("foo", value + "-bar");
}

<form.Field
  @name="foo"
  @title="Foo"
  @type="input"
  @onSet={{this.handleFooChange}}
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

You can use @onSet to also mutate the initial data object if you need more reactivity for a specific case.

The second argument passed to @onSet contains:

• set(name, value): update form draft state
• name: the field’s full name
• parentName: the parent path for nested fields
• index: the current collection index when inside a collection

Example

@action
handleFooChange(value, { set }) {
  set("foo", value + "-bar");
  this.model.foo = value + "-bar";
}

<Form @data={{this.model}} as |form|>
  <form.Field
    @name="foo"
    @title="Foo"
    @type="input"
    @onSet={{this.handleFooChange}}
    as |field|
  >
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Yielded Parameters

The field yields a single field object. The control component determined by @type is available as field.Control.

<form.Field @name="foo" @title="Foo" @type="input" as |field|>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

field.Control

field.Control is the control component determined by @type. You can pass control-specific attributes directly to it (e.g., @height, @lang, placeholder).

field.Control is the supported API. Older yielded names such as field.Input are deprecated.

field

The yielded field object provides access to the field’s data and helpers:

Name	Description
Control	Contextual component for the control set by @type
id	ID to be used on the control for accessibility
errorId	ID of the field error container
name	Full field name, including nested path prefixes
value	Current value from draft data
set	Function to set the field’s value

Controls

Controls, as we use the term here, refer to the UI widgets that allow a user to enter data. In its most basic form, this would be an input. The control type is specified via @type on the field.

You can pass down HTML attributes to the underlying control.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field
    @name="query"
    @title="Query"
    @type="input"
    @description="You should make sure the query doesn't include bots."
    as |field|
  >
    <field.Control placeholder="Foo" />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

@format

Controls accept a @format property which can be: small, medium, large, or full.

Form Kit sets defaults for each control, but you can override them using @format:

• small: 100px
• medium: 220px
• large: 400px
• full: 100%

Additionally, the following CSS variables are provided to customize these defaults:

• small: --form-kit-small-input
• medium: --form-kit-medium-input
• large: --form-kit-large-input

@titleFormat

Allows to override @format for the title. See @format for details.

@descriptionFormat

Allows to override @format for the description. See @format for details.

Checkbox

Renders an <input type="checkbox"> element.

When to use a single checkbox
There are only 2 options: yes/no. It feels like agreeing to something. Checking the box doesn’t save; there is a submit button further down.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="approved" @title="Approved" @type="checkbox" as |field|>
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Calendar

Renders a datepicker and a time input. On mobile the datepicker will be replaced by a date input.

@includeTime

Displays the time input or not. Defaults to true.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="start" @title="Start" @type="calendar" as |field|>
    <field.Control @includeTime={{false}} />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

@expandedDatePickerOnDesktop

Displays date picker expanded on desktop. Defaults to true.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="start" @title="Start" @type="calendar" as |field|>
    <field.Control @expandedDatePickerOnDesktop={{false}} />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Code

Renders an <AceEditor /> component.

@height

Sets the height of the editor in pixels.

@lang

Sets the editor mode.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="query" @title="Query" @type="code" as |field|>
    <field.Control @lang="sql" @height={{400}} />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Color

Renders a color input with optional preset swatches.

Common control arguments:

• @colors: array of preset colors
• @usedColors: array of already-used colors
• @collapseSwatches: collapse swatches into a menu
• @collapseSwatchesLabel: label for the collapsed swatches button
• @allowNamedColors: allow named colors instead of only hex values
• @fallbackValue: value to restore on blur when left blank

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="color" @title="Color" @type="color" as |field|>
    <field.Control
      @colors={{array "0088CC" "FFCC00"}}
      @usedColors={{array "FFCC00"}}
    />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Composer

Renders a <DEditor /> component.

@height

Sets the height of the composer.

Example

    <field.Control @preview={{true}} />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Custom

Renders a wrapper for custom content. This is the right choice when you want to provide your own control markup but still use FormKit field metadata and state.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="slug" @title="Slug" @type="custom" as |field|>
    <field.Control>
      <MyCustomControl
        id={{field.id}}
        @value={{field.value}}
        @onChange={{field.set}}
      />
    </field.Control>
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Emoji

Renders an <EmojiPicker /> component.

@context

Passes the picker context through to <EmojiPicker />.

Upload Handling

By default, the component will set an upload object. It’s common to only want the URL and the ID of the upload. To achieve this, you can use the @onSet property on the field:

@action
handleUpload(upload, { set }) {
  set("upload_id", upload.id);
  set("upload_url", getURL(upload.url));
}

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field
    @name="upload"
    @title="Upload"
    @type="image"
    @onSet={{this.handleUpload}}
    as |field|
  >

    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Layout

Form Kit aims to provide good defaults, allowing you to mainly use fields and controls. However, if you need more control, we provide several helpers: Row and Col, Section, Fieldset, Container and Actions.

You can also use utilities like Submit, Reset, Alert, CheckboxGroup, InputGroup, and ConditionalContent.

Actions

Actions is a custom Container designed to wrap your buttons in the footer of your form.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Actions>
    <form.Submit />
  </form.Actions>
</Form>

Alert

Displays an alert in the form.

@icon

An optional icon to use in the alert.

Example

<form.Alert @icon="info-circle">
  Foo
</form.Alert>

@type

Specifies the type of alert. Allowed types: success, error, warning, or info.

Example

<form.Alert @type="warning">
  Foo
</form.Alert>

Checkbox Group

CheckboxGroup allows grouping checkboxes together.

Example

<form.CheckboxGroup @title="Preferences" as |group|>
  <group.Field @name="editable" @title="Editable" @type="checkbox" as |field|>
    <field.Control />
  </group.Field>
  <group.Field
    @name="searchable"
    @title="Searchable"
    @type="checkbox"
    as |field|
  >
    <field.Control />
  </group.Field>
</form.CheckboxGroup>

ConditionalContent

ConditionalContent helps you switch between mutually exclusive blocks of content using a small radio control.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.ConditionalContent @activeName="basic" as |conditional|>
    <conditional.Conditions as |Condition|>
      <Condition @name="basic">Basic</Condition>
      <Condition @name="advanced">Advanced</Condition>
    </conditional.Conditions>

    <conditional.Contents as |Content|>
      <Content @name="basic">
        <form.Alert>Basic settings</form.Alert>
      </Content>

      <Content @name="advanced">
        <form.Alert @type="warning">Advanced settings</form.Alert>
      </Content>
    </conditional.Contents>
  </form.ConditionalContent>
</Form>

Container

Container allows you to render a block similar to a field without tying it to specific data. It is useful for custom controls.

Common arguments:

• @title
• @subtitle
• @format
• @direction

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Container @title="Important" @subtitle="This is important">
    <!-- Container content here -->
  </form.Container>
</Form>

Fieldset

Wraps content in a fieldset.

Example

<form.Fieldset @name="a-fieldset" class="my-fieldset">
  Foo
</form.Fieldset>

@title

Displays a title for the fieldset, will use the legend element.

Example

<form.Fieldset @title="A title">
  Foo
</form.Fieldset>

@description

Displays a description for the fieldset.

Example

<form.Fieldset @description="A description">
  Foo
</form.Fieldset>

@name

Sets the name of the fieldset. This is necessary if you want to use the fieldset test helpers.

Example

<form.Fieldset @name="a-name">
  Foo
</form.Fieldset>

Input Group

Input group allows you to group multiple inputs together on one line.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.InputGroup as |inputGroup|>
    <inputGroup.Field @title="Foo" @name="foo" @type="input" as |field|>
      <field.Control />
    </inputGroup.Field>
    <inputGroup.Field @title="Bar" @name="bar" @type="input" as |field|>
      <field.Control />
    </inputGroup.Field>
  </form.InputGroup>
</Form>

Reset

The Reset component renders a <DButton /> which will reset the form when clicked. It accepts all the same parameters as a standard <DButton />. The label and default action are set by default.

Example

<form.Reset />

To customize the Reset button further, you can pass additional parameters as needed:

Example with Additional Parameters

<form.Reset @translatedLabel="Remove changes" />

Row and Col

Row and Col enable you to utilize a simple grid system (12 columns) within your form.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Row as |row|>
    <row.Col @size={{4}}>
      <form.Field @name="foo" @title="Foo" @type="input" as |field|>
        <field.Control />
      </form.Field>
    </row.Col>
    <row.Col @size={{8}}>
      <form.Field @name="bar" @title="Bar" @type="input" as |field|>
        <field.Control />
      </form.Field>
    </row.Col>
  </form.Row>
</Form>

Section

Section provides a simple way to create a section with or without a title.

@subtitle

Displays secondary text in the section header.

Example

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Section @title="Settings">
    <!-- Section content here -->
  </form.Section>
</Form>

Submit

The Submit component renders a <DButton /> which will submit the form when clicked. It accepts all the same parameters as a standard <DButton />. The label, default action, and primary style are set by default.

Example

<form.Submit />

To customize the Submit button further, you can pass additional parameters as needed:

Example with Additional Parameters

<form.Submit @translatedLabel="Send" />

Object

The object component lets you work with a nested object in your form.

Example

<Form @data={{hash foo=(hash bar=1 baz=2)}} as |form|>
  <form.Object @name="foo" as |object data|>
    <object.Field @name="bar" @title="Bar" @type="input" as |field|>
      <field.Control />
    </object.Field>
    <object.Field @name="baz" @title="Baz" @type="input" as |field|>
      <field.Control />
    </object.Field>
  </form.Object>
</Form>

@name

An object must have a unique name. This name is used as a prefix for the underlying fields.

Like field names, object names should not contain . or -.

Example

<form.Object @name="foo" />

Nesting

An object can accept a nested Object or Collection.

Example

<Form @data={{hash foo=(hash bar=(hash baz=1 bol=2))}} as |form|>
  <form.Object @name="foo" as |parentObject|>
    <parentObject.Object @name="bar" as |childObject data|>
      <childObject.Field @name="baz" @title="Baz" @type="input" as |field|>
        <field.Control />
      </childObject.Field>
    </parentObject.Object>
  </form.Object>
</Form>

<Form @data={{hash foo=(hash bar=(array 1 2))}} as |form|>
  <form.Object @name="foo" as |parentObject|>
    <parentObject.Collection @name="bar" as |collection index|>
      <collection.Field @title="Baz" @type="input" as |field|>
        <field.Control />
      </collection.Field>
      <form.Button
        class={{concat "remove-" index}}
        @action={{fn collection.remove index}}
      >Remove</form.Button>
    </parentObject.Collection>
  </form.Object>
</Form>

Collection

The collection component lets you work with arrays in your form.

It yields three values: the collection API, the current index, and the current item.

Example

<Form @data={{hash foo=(array (hash bar=1) (hash bar=2))}} as |form|>
  <form.Collection @name="foo" as |collection index item|>
    <collection.Field @name="bar" @title="Bar" @type="input" as |field|>
      <field.Control placeholder={{concat "item-" index}} />
    </collection.Field>
  </form.Collection>
</Form>

@name

A collection must have a unique name. This name is used as a prefix for the underlying fields.

For example, if collection has the name “foo”, the 2nd field of the collection with the name “bar”, will actually have “foo.1.bar” as name.

Like field names, collection names should not contain . or -.

Example

<form.Collection @name="foo" />

@tagName

A collection renders as a <div class="form-kit__collection"> by default. You can alter this behavior with @tagName.

Example

<form.Collection @name="foo" @tagName="tr" />

Primitive array

If the shape of your data is an array of primitives, eg: [1, 2, 3], form-kit is able to handle it. You just have to omit the name on the field in this case, as the name will be auto generated for you with the index.

Example

<Form @data={{hash foo=(array 1 2)}} as |form|>
  <form.Collection @name="foo" as |collection|>
    <collection.Field @title="Baz" @type="input" as |field|>
      <field.Control />
    </collection.Field>
  </form.Collection>
</Form>

Nesting

A collection can accept a nested Object or Collection.

Example

<Form
  @data={{hash foo=(array (hash bar=(hash baz=1)) (hash bar=(hash baz=2)))}}
  as |form|
>
  <form.Collection @name="foo" as |collection|>
    <collection.Object @name="bar" as |object|>
      <object.Field @name="baz" @title="Baz" @type="input" as |field|>
        <field.Control />
      </object.Field>
    </collection.Object>
  </form.Collection>
</Form>

<Form
  @data={{hash
    foo=(array (hash bar=(array (hash baz=1))) (hash bar=(array (hash baz=2))))
  }}
  as |form|
>
  <form.Collection @name="foo" as |parent parentIndex|>
    <parent.Collection @name="bar" as |child childIndex|>
      <child.Field @name="baz" @title="Baz" @type="input" as |field|>
        <field.Control />
      </child.Field>
    </parent.Collection>
  </form.Collection>
</Form>

Add an item to the collection

The <Form /> component yielded object has a addItemToCollection function that you can call to add an item to a specific collection.

Example

<Form @data={{hash foo=(array (hash bar=1) (hash bar=2))}} as |form|>
  <form.Button @action={{fn form.addItemToCollection "foo" (hash bar=3)}}>
    Add
  </form.Button>

  <form.Collection @name="foo" as |collection index|>
    <collection.Field @name="bar" @title="Bar" @type="input" as |field|>
      <field.Control placeholder={{concat "item-" index}} />
    </collection.Field>
  </form.Collection>
</Form>

Remove an item from the collection

The <Collection /> component yielded object has a remove function that you can call to remove an item from this collection, it takes the index as parameter

Example

<Form @data={{hash foo=(array (hash bar=1) (hash bar=2))}} as |form|>
  <form.Collection @name="foo" as |collection index|>
    <collection.Field @name="bar" @title="Bar" @type="input" as |field|>
      <field.Control />
      <form.Button @action={{fn collection.remove index}}>
        Remove
      </form.Button>
    </collection.Field>
  </form.Collection>
</Form>

Validation

Field accepts a @validation property which allows you to describe the validation rules of the field.

List of Available Rules

Accepted

The value must be "yes", "on", true, 1, or "true". Useful for checkbox inputs — often where you need to validate if someone has accepted terms.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="terms"
  @title="Terms"
  @type="checkbox"
  @validation="accepted"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

Between

Checks that a numeric value is between a minimum and maximum value.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="amount"
  @title="Amount"
  @type="input-number"
  @validation="between:1,10"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

dateAfterOrEqual

Checks if a calendar value is after or equal to the specified date. Format must be YYYY-MM-DD.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="start"
  @title="Start"
  @type="calendar"
  @validation="dateAfterOrEqual:2022-02-01"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

dateBeforeOrEqual

Checks if a calendar value is before or equal to the specified date. Format must be YYYY-MM-DD.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="start"
  @title="Start"
  @type="calendar"
  @validation="dateBeforeOrEqual:2022-02-01"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

EndsWith

Checks that a string ends with a given suffix.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="domain"
  @title="Domain"
  @type="input"
  @validation="endsWith:.com"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

Integer

Checks if the value is an integer.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="age"
  @title="Age"
  @type="input-number"
  @validation="integer"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

Length

Checks that the input’s value is over a given length, or between two length values.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="username"
  @title="Username"
  @type="input"
  @validation="length:5,16"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

Number

Checks if the input is a valid number as evaluated by isNaN().

When applicable, prefer to use the number input: @type="input-number".

Example

<form.Field
  @name="amount"
  @title="Amount"
  @type="input"
  @validation="number"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

Required

Checks if the input is empty.

required:trim trims leading and trailing whitespace before checking the value.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="username"
  @title="Username"
  @type="input"
  @validation="required:trim"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

StartsWith

Checks that a string starts with a given prefix.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="handle"
  @title="Handle"
  @type="input"
  @validation="startsWith:@"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

URL

Checks if the input value appears to be a properly formatted URL including the protocol. This does not check if the URL actually resolves.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="endpoint"
  @title="Endpoint"
  @type="input-url"
  @validation="url"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

Combining Rules

Rules can be combined using the pipe operator: |.

Example

<form.Field
  @name="username"
  @title="Username"
  @type="input"
  @validation="required|length:5,16"
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

Custom Validation

Field

Field accepts a @validate property which allows you to define a callback function to validate a single field.

Parameters

• name (string): The name of the form field being validated.
• value (unknown): The current field value.
• context (Object)
  • context.data (Object): Current form draft data.
  • context.type (string): Field control type.
  • context.addError (Function): Adds an error if validation fails.

Example

@action
validateUsername(name, value, { data, addError }) {
  if (value === data.slug) {
    addError(name, {
      title: "Username",
      message: "Username and slug must differ.",
    });
  }
}

<form.Field
  @name="username"
  @title="Username"
  @type="input"
  @validate={{this.validateUsername}}
  as |field|
>
  <field.Control />
</form.Field>

Form

Form accepts a @validate property which allows you to define a callback function to validate the full form state once per validation pass.

Parameters

• data (Object): The data object containing additional information for validation.
• handlers (Object): An object containing handler functions.
  • handlers.addError (Function): A function to add an error if validation fails.
  • handlers.removeError (Function): A function to clear an existing error.

Example

@action
validateForm(data, { addError, removeError }) {
  if (data.start && data.end && data.end < data.start) {
    addError("end", {
      title: "End",
      message: "End must be after start.",
    });
  } else {
    removeError("end");
  }
}

<Form @validate={{this.validateForm}} as |form|>
  <form.Field @name="start" @title="Start" @type="input-date" as |field|>
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>

  <form.Field @name="end" @title="End" @type="input-date" as |field|>
    <field.Control />
  </form.Field>

  <form.Submit />
</Form>

Unknown validation rule names raise at runtime. Keep the rule list above in sync with the implementation when extending FormKit.

Helpers

Helpers are yielded by some blocks, like Form, or provided as parameters to callbacks. They allow you to interact with the form state in a simple and clear way.

set

set allows you to assign a value to a specific field in the form’s data.

Parameters

• name (string): The name of the field to which the value is to be set.
• value (number): The value to be set.

Example

set("foo", 1);

Using the set helper yielded by the form:

<Form as |form|>
  <DButton @action={{fn form.set "foo" 1}} @translatedLabel="Set foo" />
</Form>

setProperties

setProperties allows you to assign an object to the form’s data.

Parameters

• data (object): A POJO where each key is going to be set on the form using its value.

Example

setProperties({ foo: 1, bar: 2 });

Using the setProperties helper yielded by the form:

<Form as |form|>
  <DButton
    @action={{fn form.setProperties (hash foo=1 bar=2)}}
    @translatedLabel="Set foo and bar"
  />
</Form>

addError

addError allows you to add an error message to a specific field in the form.

Parameters

• name (string): The name of the field that is invalid.
• error (object): The error’s data
  • title (string): The title of the error, usually the translated name of the field
  • message (string): The error message

Example

addError("foo", { title: "Foo", message: "This should be another thing." });

Customize

Plugin Outlets

FormKit works seamlessly with <PluginOutlet />. You can use plugin outlets inside your form to extend its functionality:

<Form as |form|>
  <PluginOutlet @name="above-foo-form" @outletArgs={{hash form=form}} />
</Form>

Then, in your connector, you can use the outlet arguments to add custom fields:

<@outletArgs.form.Field @name="bar" @title="Bar" @type="input" as |field|>
  <field.Control />
</@outletArgs.form.Field>

Styling

All FormKit components propagate attributes, allowing you to set classes and data attributes, for example:

<Form class="my-form" as |form|>
  <form.Field
    @name="foo"
    @title="Foo"
    @type="input"
    class="my-field"
    as |field|
  >
    <field.Control class="my-control" />
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Custom Control

Creating a custom control is straightforward with the properties yielded by form and field:

<Form as |form|>
  <form.Field
    @name="foo"
    @title="Foo"
    @type="custom"
    class="my-field"
    as |field|
  >
    <field.Control>
      <MyCustomControl id={{field.id}} @onChange={{field.set}} />
    </field.Control>
  </form.Field>
</Form>

Common Values on form

@system

validateUsername(name, value, data, { addError }) {
  if (data.bar / 2 === value) {
    addError(name, { title: I18n.t(`foo.bar.${name}`), message: "Eso no es como funcionan las matemáticas." });
  }
}

El código anterior no funcionará. Este código sí:

  validateApiKeyValue(name, value, { data, addError }) {
    console.log(`validar ${name} con ${value}`, data);
  }

¿La documentación está mal o el código está mal?

Creo que todo lo de @ debería ir entre comillas invertidas. Actualmente, notifica a los usuarios con los mismos nombres de usuario.

Creo que la importación de Form fue incorrecta, así que he actualizado OP

a

¿Entiendo correctamente que esta es ahora la forma recomendada de crear un formulario para, digamos, recopilar datos para un nuevo modelo agregado por un plugin? ¿O es para otra cosa?

Un vistazo rápido al código fuente principal muestra ningún pocos ejemplos fuera de las pruebas y todos ellos, incluidos los que veo en plugins oficiales, están en /admin

Este plugin está agregando un modelo decididamente no similar a un foro a Discourse (Discourse es mi única herramienta, por lo que cualquier cosa que desarrolle en la web probablemente será un plugin de Discourse). ¿Puedo asumir que tiene sentido usar este kit de herramientas para todos mis formularios?

[awesomerobot (Kris)]

@pfaffman

¿Puedo asumir que tiene sentido usar este kit de herramientas para todos mis formularios?

Sí, esa es la intención… si todos los formularios utilizan los mismos patrones, nos resulta más fácil darles soporte junto con futuras actualizaciones.

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

Tiene sentido, ¿y un día los plugins Core y Official cambiarán a usarlo para que tenga más ejemplos?

Y nadie ha hecho mucho de eso todavía ya que todo el código funciona sin usar esta maravillosa nueva plantilla?

¡Gracias por tu paciencia! Pasé al menos una hora depurando este plugin porque no estaba habilitado, así que ahora mismo me siento bastante inseguro de todo.

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

@awesomerobot

He actualizado el OP

¿Puedes también editar el código de ejemplo, que es lo que personas como yo pegan ciegamente en sus editores?

@system

import Form from "discourse/form";

Intenté editarlo, pero obtuve un error sobre mencionar a más de 10 usuarios.

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

He avanzado en los últimos días intentando que esto funcione. Siento que soy la primera persona que intenta seguir estas instrucciones. Aquí hay algunas cosas que me detuvieron. Creo que un ejemplo completo y funcional, ya sea como un gist o algo en el núcleo, sería de gran ayuda. ¡Pero ahora lo he conseguido!

¿Quizás mover transientData hacia abajo, ya que no siempre es necesario, y un montón de cosas que no se han introducido en ese momento sí son siempre necesarias para tener un ejemplo funcional?

De manera similar, no entiendo cómo usar formData() en ese ejemplo. Aparte de declararlo, nunca se usa. ¿Quizás lo llamarías como data = formData() o lo pasarías como \u003cForm @data=this.formData ...?

Hablar de validación no tiene sentido hasta que sepamos qué campos son

@system

Aquí tienes el ejemplo más básico de un formulario:

Excepto que no funcionará (si quieres que use algún dato) sin (por lo que puedo decir) si no

@system

configuras tu objeto de datos del formulario de esta manera:

@system

@cached

Pero no puedes hacer eso sin

import { cached, tracked } from "@glimmer/tracking";

¿O tal vez no tienes que hacer eso, pero sí tienes que incluir @data={{@somethign}} en la etiqueta \u003cForm\u003e? (Eso al menos hizo que los datos se mostraran en el formulario).

@system

Text

Renderiza un elemento <textarea>.

No. Textarea renderiza un área de texto como se muestra en el ejemplo a continuación.

No puedo hacer que el DEditor muestre el panel de vista previa. Estoy bastante seguro de que lo vi cuando intenté crear un DEditor como un campo personalizado.

[Arkshine]

Lo estoy usando en un próximo TC; sin embargo, son solo las cosas básicas.

Estoy de acuerdo en que la documentación podría ser más precisa. Yo también tuve problemas, principalmente porque las explicaciones y los ejemplos a veces eran confusos. Creo que se trata más del orden en que se explican las cosas en el problema. Además, en los ejemplos, la declaración de un array con hash me confundió inicialmente por algunas razones.

Dicho esto, es algo realmente genial, ¡y tener una forma normalizada de hacer formularios es excelente!

No sé si te ayudará, pero aquí tienes lo que hice esencialmente (solo conservé lo esencial)

import Component from "@glimmer/component";
import { cached, tracked } from "@glimmer/tracking";

const FORM_FIELDS = ["title", "maxWidth", "autoFit", "duration"];

export default class OptionsMarkmap extends Component {
  @tracked data;

  constructor() {
    super(...arguments);

    // Establece los valores predeterminados
    this.data = {
      title: "",
      maxWidth: 0,
      autoFit: "true",
      duration: 400,
    };
  }

  @cached
  get formData() {
    return getProperties(this.data, ...FORM_FIELDS);
  }

  @action
  save(data) {
    //
  }

  <template>
    <Form @data={{this.formData}} @onSubmit={{this.save}} as |form|>
      <form.Field
        @name="title"
        @title="Title"
        @format="large"
        as |field|
      >
        <form.Container>
          <field.Input />
        </form.Container>
      </form.Field>

      <form.Field
        @name="maxWidth"
        @title="Max Node Width"
        @type="number"
        as |field|
      >
        <form.Container>
          <field.Input />
        </form.Container>
      </form.Field>

      <form.Field
        @name="autoFit"
        @showTitle={{false}}
        @title="Auto Fit"
        as |field|
      >
        <form.Container>
          <field.Checkbox />
        </form.Container>
      </form.Field>

      <form.Actions>
        <form.Submit @label="Save" />
      </form.Actions>
    </Form>
  </template>
}

Sobre data, este es tu valor inicial.
El uso de formData te permite almacenar en caché el objeto (ya que data es inmutable), y getProperties es una buena manera de especificar qué campos incluyes, creo. formData es lo que proporcionas en <Form @data=....

get formData() {
  return getProperties(this.data, ...FORM_FIELDS);
}

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

@Arkshine

`

`

Sí. Todo eso tiene sentido, ¡pero sobre todo una vez que lo sabes!

Pero creo que no entiendo qué se está almacenando en caché, o tal vez dónde o por qué.

@Arkshine

    // Establece los valores predeterminados

¡Ah! Eso está bien.

Sí. ¡Creo que eso parece un “modelo mínimo viable” mucho mejor!

¡Gracias!

Y más sobre field.Composer

Todavía no puedo averiguar cómo hacer que muestre la vista previa. Conseguí algo de CSS para que la vista previa se muestre, pero todavía no puedo hacer que ocupe todo el ancho.

Tengo <field.Composer @height={{80}} /> y se ve exactamente igual que <field.Composer @height={{800}} />, (¿quizás hay algún CSS predeterminado que esté anulando esto?) – ¡lo encontré! --form-kit-large-input: 100%; (en realidad, eso afecta al ancho, pero todavía no estoy seguro de la altura)

Hubo problemas legítimos con esto. Los arreglé todos en FIX: supports height/preview form-kit composer by jjaffeux · Pull Request #31121 · discourse/discourse · GitHub y los documenté en document composer preview option by jjaffeux · Pull Request #37 · discourse/discourse-developer-docs · GitHub

No había (¿muchos?) la última vez que miré. O fui malo con grep la última vez, o se han añadido un montón en las últimas una o dos semanas. Sería genial si esta documentación señalara uno de ellos que sea un buen ejemplo.

@j.jaffeux

¡Tío! ¡Eso es genial! No puedo esperar a verlo. Pasé (lo que parecieron) todo el día de ayer en esto (al menos 2 horas, sin embargo). Soy tan horrible con CSS que asumí que era simplemente un cabeza de chorlito. Ah, arreglaste las partes de oculto y altura. Es el ancho con lo que estoy luchando ahora. No puedo hacer que el compositor ocupe la mitad de la pantalla y en su lugar ocupa más espacio a medida que se escribe texto, y si el campo está vacío es tan pequeño que no hay dónde escribir texto. Lo miraré más tarde, pero estoy tan emocionado que quería responder lo antes posible.

Es el ancho con el que estoy luchando ahora. No puedo hacer que el compositor ocupe la mitad de la pantalla y, en cambio, ocupa más espacio a medida que se escribe texto, y si el campo está vacío, es tan pequeño que no hay dónde escribir texto. Lo miraré más tarde, pero estoy tan emocionado que quería responder lo antes posible.

@format="full" en el campo que envuelve al compositor

Sí, y sinceramente soy reacio a enlazar a ejemplos de la documentación, ya que estos enlaces tienden a envejecer mal, ya que la gente no sabrá que la documentación está enlazando a él si eliminan el archivo, cambian la ruta, …

¿Cuál es la forma correcta de implementar una selección “múltiple”? Es decir, donde pueda ofrecer al usuario la capacidad de actualizar una matriz a partir de un conjunto constante de enumeraciones.

Supongo que podría usar un Grupo de casillas de verificación

Pero, ¿existe una versión de “menú desplegable”?

Por ejemplo, si tengo algunos ingredientes:

[“arroz”, “mango”, “huevo”, “sal”, “comino”]

Y quiero que el usuario pueda seleccionar ninguno, uno, varios o todos.

Y el resultado debe almacenarse en una sola matriz.

Es decir, un interruptor para cada miembro del conjunto completo.

¿Existe algún ejemplo existente de esto?

[Arkshine]

¿Quizás usar un campo personalizado junto con MultiSelect? https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-toolkit-to-render-forms/326439#p-1603904-custom-control-110

Veo algunos ejemplos en el núcleo, por ejemplo:

<form.Field
    @name="appliesTo"
    @title={{i18n "admin.config_areas.flags.form.applies_to"}}
    @validation="required"
    @validate={{this.validateAppliesTo}}
    @format="large"
    as |field|
  >
    <field.Custom>
      <MultiSelect
        @id={{field.id}}
        @value={{field.value}}
        @onChange={{field.set}}
        @content={{this.appliesToValues}}
        @options={{hash allowAny=false}}
        class="admin-flag-form__applies-to"
      />
    </field.Custom>
  </form.Field>

¿Funcionaría eso para ti?
