Package Exports

ng-form-generator

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ng-form-generator) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

ng-form-generator

ng-form-generator is the perfect solution for developers looking to create a form builder for their websites

Installation

In order for ng-form-generator to work it requires angular, bootstrap and ui-bootstrap

After you've made sure those 3 exist in your project, install with bower:

$ bower install ng-form-generator

then include it in your project

    <script src="bower_components/ng-form-generator/ng-form-generator.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/ng-form-generator/ng-form-generator.min.css">

OR install with npm

$ npm install ng-form-generator

then include it in your project

    <script src="node_modules/ng-form-generator/ng-form-generator.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/ng-form-generator/ng-form-generator.min.css">

Usage

Unlike other form builders out there, ng-form-generator is actually very simple to use and very light weight.

Include the formBuild as a dependency:

    angular.module('your_module', ['formBuild'])

Use the ng-form-builder directive wherever you need to place the builder

    <ng-form-builder output="output"></ng-form-builder>

The directive takes output as a parameter, which is used to store the model of the currently formed form. Store this to your backend to retrieve the form later.

Reading the form you've created requires the use of ng-form-reader.

    <ng-form-reader input="input" data="data"></ng-form-reader>

The directive takes as input, a model object that was created by the ng-form-builder directive and it outputs the actual form values with details to data.

Creating your own form item

Creating your own form item is also easy as pie.

Inject builder service into your controller

angular.module("your_module").controller("your_controller", function($scope, builder)

Then using the builder function insert, insert an object with the following data:

var customTab = {
        type: 'radio3',
        display: '<div class=""><div class="form-group"><label for="" class="col-sm-4 control-label">title</label><div class="col-sm-8"><input type="text" disabled="disabled" class="form-control" placeholder="placeholder"><p class="help-block">description</p></div></div></div>',
        popoverTemplateUrl: 'popover/sample.html',
        htmlTemplate: 'htmlTemplates/sample.html',
    };
    builder.insert(customTab);

Where:

type is a unique name for this type of tab
display is the stringified HTML that is used to display the tab in the choices list
popoverTemplateUrl is the url to the popover template that appears when clicked on your custom tab
htmlTemplate is the url to the html file of your custom tab

When creating your popover template, bind everything to $scope.object

Example:

<div class="form-group">
  <label>Popup Title:</label>
  <input type="text" ng-model="object.title" class="form-control" />
  <label>Required Field:</label>
  <input type="checkbox" ng-model="object.required" />
  <input type="text" ng-model="object.description" />
</div>

Creating an HTML template

When creating your html template, bind everything to $scope.object

Note that this is the same $scope.object you're binding to data to in the popover template Example:

<div class="">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="" class="col-sm-4 control-label">{{object.title}}
            <span ng-show="object.required">*</span>
        </label>
        <div class="col-sm-8"><input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="object.models" placeholder="placeholder" required="object.required">
            <p class="help-block">{{object.description}}</p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
