Invocation

Form View

{{
  frost-bunsen-form
  bunsenModel=model
  bunsenView=view
}}

Detail View

{{
  frost-bunsen-detail
  bunsenModel=model
  bunsenView=view
  value=value
}}

Note: ALL values, models, and views MUST be valid JSON. Values are simply the data being represented in the UI which usually come directly from an API response. Models must be valid JSON Schema and views must be valid view schema. Below we will provide examples of values, models, and views to give you a better idea of how this stuff works.

Minimal Example

Value (Data to Render)

{
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Doe"
}

Model

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "firstName": {"type": "string"},
    "lastName": {"type": "string"}
  }
}

View

{
  "cellDefinitions": {
    "main": {
      "children": [
        {"model": "firstName"},
        {"model": "lastName"}
      ]
    }
  },
  "cells": {
    "label": "Main",
    "id": "main"
  },
  "type": "form",
  "version": "2.0"
}

Nested Properties Example

Value (Data to Render)

{
  "name": {
    "first": "John",
    "last": "Doe"
  }
}

Model

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "first": {"type": "string"},
        "last": {"type": "string"}
      }
    }
  }
}

View

{
  "cellDefinitions": {
    "main": {
      "children": [
        {"model": "name.first"},
        {"model": "name.last"}
      ]
    }
  },
  "cells": {
    "label": "Main",
    "id": "main"
  },
  "type": "form",
  "version": "2.0"
}

Data Types Example

Value (Data to Render)

{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "age": 35,
  "married": true,
  "spouse": {
    "name": "Jane Doe",
    "age": 32
  }
}

Model

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": {"type": "string"},
    "age": {"type": "number"},
    "married": {"type": "boolean"},
    "spouse": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "name": {"type": "string"},
        "age": {"type": "number"}
      }
    }
  }
}

View

{
  "cellDefinitions": {
    "main": {
      "children": [
        {"model": "name"},
        {"model": "age"},
        {"model": "married"},
        {
          "label": "Spouse's Name",
          "model": "spouse.name"
        },
        {
          "label": "Spouse's Age",
          "model": "spouse.age"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "cells": {
    "label": "Main",
    "id": "main"
  },
  "type": "form",
  "version": "2.0"
}

Note: In the above view you will notice we specify label for the spouse properties to customize the label text rendered in the UI.

Custom Validation Example

Bunsen will automatically validate types of most fields, and will flag missing fields. We can also pass in a list of custom validation functions which let us add additional conditions.

Validators are functions that return an Ember.RSVP.Promise which resolves to a POJO which can have one or more error objects. (This allows async actions like checking an API.) These objects specify both the field path (based on the Bunsen View, in case of nested things) and an error message:

{
  value: {
    errors: [  // can be empty, or contain multiple items
      {
        path: '#/vent',
        message: 'Vent core must be odd-numbered'
      },
      {
        path: '#/blasttype',
        message: 'Blast type must be either "frogs" or "toads"'
      }
    ],
    warnings: []
  }
}

Bunsen form specification

Value (Data to Render)

{
  "palindrome": "tacocat",
}

Model

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "palindrome": {"type": "string"}
  }
}

View

{
  "cells": [
    {
      "model": "palindrome"
    }
  ],
  "type": "form",
  "version": "2.0"
}

Provide custom validators

Custom validation functions can access all form values, and may return multiple error messages (for multiple fields). Bunsen will invoke each validator in the validators list you give it with the form's current values (on each change), and collate all of the errors together before passing to the action you give it as onValidation.

function palindromeValidator (values) {
  // If missing, a value will be undefined in the values object.
  // Bunsen already flags missing required fields.
  if (values.palindrome !== undefined) {
    const palindrome = (values.palindrome || '').replace(' ', '').toLowerCase()
    const reversed = palindrome.split('').reverse().join('')
    if (palindrome !== reversed) {
      return Ember.RSVP.resolve({
        value: {
          errors: [{
            path: '#/palindrome',
            message: 'Palindrome field does not read the same forwards as backwards'
          }],
          warnings: []
        }
      })
    }
  }
  return Ember.RSVP.resolve({
    value: {
      errors: [],
      warnings: []
    }
  })
}

export default Ember.Component.extend({
  layout: layout,
  classNames: ['palindrome-form'],

  model: bunsenModel,
  view: bunsenView,
  valid: false,
  hasError: Ember.computed.notEmpty('error'),

  validators: [
    palindromeValidator
  ],

  actions: {
    onValidation (e) {
      this.set('valid', e.errors.length === 0)
    }
  }
})

When invoking Bunsen, specify the onValidation and validators options:

{{
  frost-bunsen-form
  bunsenModel=model
  bunsenView=view
  onValidation=(action 'onValidation')
  validators=validators
}}
