overview
A view module for intelligently rendering and validating checkbox input. Works well with ampersand-form-view.
ampersand-checkbox-view extends ampersand-view, so you may further .extend({...})
it to your desire.
It does the following:
- Automatically shows/hides error message based on if the field is
required
. - Will only show error message checkbox is required and:
- trying to submit form and it's not checked.
- it has ever been checked and now isn't.
Part of the Ampersand.js toolkit for building clientside applications.
install
npm install ampersand-checkbox-view
example
var CheckboxView = require('ampersand-checkbox-view');
var field = new CheckboxView({
// form input `name`
name: 'client_name',
// You can replace the built-in template with your own.
// just give it an html string. Make sure it has a single "root" element that contains:
// - an `<input>` element
// - an element with a `data-hook="label"` attribute
// - an element with a `data-hook="message-container"` attribute (this we'll show/hide)
// - an elememt with a `data-hook="message-text"` attribute (where message text goes for error)
template: // some HTML string
// Label name
label: 'App Name',
// optinal intial value if it has one
value: true, // or false
// optional, this is the element that will be
// replaced by this view. If you don't
// give it one, it will create one.
el: document.getElementByID('field'),
// whether or not this field is required
required: true, // false by default
// whether or not to disable this field
disabled: false, //false by default
// class to set on input when input is valid
validClass: 'input-valid', // <- that's the default
// class to set on input when input is valid
invalidClass: 'input-invalid', // <- that's the default
// Message to use if error is that it's required
// but no value was set.
requiredMessage: 'This box must be checked.',
// optional, you can pass in the parent view explicitly
parent: someViewInstance,
// optional, called before form's submitCallback function called
beforeSubmit: function() { console.log('ampersand-checkbox-view rocks!'); }
});
// append it somewhere or use it in side an ampersand-form-view
document.querySelector('form').appendChild(field.el);
