Steps to Integrate the form

Please refer following link for sample config

https://github.com/Sunbird-Ed/SunbirdEd-forms/blob/release-4.1.0/projects/common-form-elements/src/lib/form/form.component.ts

The Form Can render following elements:

  • Text Box

  • Text Area

  • Drop Down (Single)

  • Multi Select Drop Down

Drop Down Data Sources: Drop Down can be provided with multiple types of Data Sources:

  • Static List

  • Closure which is called as MARKER in above config (A function which returns Promise of FieldConfig)

  • API Source - Currently Not Developed (Open For Contribution)

Example of Closure Implementation

buildStateListClosure(config: FieldConfig<any>, initial = false): FieldConfigOptionsBuilder<Location> {
    return (formControl: FormControl, _: FormControl, notifyLoading, notifyLoaded) => {
      return defer(async () => {
        const req: LocationSearchCriteria = {
          from: CachedItemRequestSourceFrom.SERVER,
          filters: {
            type: LocationType.TYPE_STATE
          }
        };
        notifyLoading();
        return this.fetchUserLocation(req)
          .then((stateLocationList: Location[]) => {
            notifyLoaded();
            const list = stateLocationList.map((s) => ({ label: s.name, value: s }));
            if (config.default && initial) {
              const option = list.find((o) => o.value.id === config.default.id || o.label === config.default.name);
              formControl.patchValue(option ? option.value : null, { emitModelToViewChange: false });
              formControl.markAsPristine();
              config.default['code'] = option ? option.value['code'] : config.default['code'];
            }
            initial = false;
            return list;
          })
          .catch((e) => {
            notifyLoaded();
            this.commonUtilService.showToast('NO_DATA_FOUND');
            console.error(e);
            return [];
          });
      });
    };
  }

The Logic Inside can be customised to own needs of project.

Function Signature should be as follows:

functionName(config: FieldConfig<any>, initial = false): FieldConfigOptionsBuilder<T>
