Hidden field in form about angular-schema-form

[davidlgj]

Hi @jeremysolarz,

currently we don't support it. But it can easily be added. We just haven't had any use for them since we don't actually post the form but instead use angular's two way binding and send the data with an ajax request to the server.

Just to clarify, a hidden form field is supported because of how the default decorator works. Go ahead and try this here. Note, though, that you'll have to set the value on the model via some other mechanism, because afaik, the default property is ignored by Angular Schema Form.

Form

[
  {
    "key": "something",
    "type": "hidden"
  }
]

Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "title": "Comment",
  "properties": {
    "something": {
      "title": "Something",
      "type": "string"
    }
  }
}

@mike-marcacci default is supported in the schema (but not the form def), does it not work for you?

Another way to prime with an id (if you don't want to put it in the schema) is to just add it to the model in your controller.

@davidlgj

Thanks the solution with only sending the model data via Ajax works for me.

@jeremysolarz great!

Hey @davidlgj ,
Does angular schema form also support conditional showing hiding form fields on certain select dropdown values. Currently I'm trying out using the condition property in Form array and changing its values as per the change in the select. Is there any other way to do it?

@gaganmalhotra you would use dynamic select add-on and retrieve the options from your server based on criteria.
