Ember-jsonapi-resources-form

Ember Addon that provides components for use with forms to edit a resource that follows JSON API 1.0 specification.

• Use with the ember-jsonapi-resources addon

Example Use

For a simple example see the address-form component usage in the dummy app.

The resource-form is an abstract component for CRUD operations on a Resource instance (model).

To trigger actions include the form controls component in the template for your component that extends resource-form, and set the target…

Example template for a form component that extends the resource-form:

{{form-controls target=this isEditing=isEditing isNew=isNew isAdmin=isAdmin}}
{{text-input value=resource.name
  name="name" action="performUpdate" target=this
  requireInput=isEditing disabled=notEditing}}
{{number-input value=resource.total min="0" step="1"
  name="total" action="applyChange" target=this
  requireInput=isEditing disabled=notEditing}}

Actions that interact with the various presentation modes of the form, include: toPreview (new resource), toDetail / toEdit (persisted resource), cancel, save, and destroy.

A few examples using a (concrete) component which extends resource-form…

For an "editing" route or 'editing' state of the form:

{{catalog-form model=model isNew=model.isNew isEditing=true
  on-update=(route-action 'update')
  on-toDetail=(route-action 'toDetail')
}}

For a "Detail" route or "Preview" state of the form:

{{catalog-form model=model isNew=model.isNew isEditing=false
  on-edit=(route-action 'toEdit')
  on-destroy=(route-action 'destroy')
}}

For a "New" route / state of the form:

{{catalog-form model=model isNew=model.isNew isEditing=false
  on-save=(route-action 'save')
  on-cancel=(route-action 'cancel')
}}

A example form that adds behavior to edit relationships…

Form component

import Ember from 'ember';
import ResourceFormComponent from 'core-form/components/resource-form';
 
const { get, set, inject, computed } = Ember;
 
export default ResourceFormComponent.extend({
  products: inject.service(),
  resourceName: 'catalog',
 
  /**
    Handles selected relation for new Resource
 
    @method relationSelected
    @param {ProductResource} relation 
  */
  relationSelected(relation) {
    let model = get(this, 'model');
    model.addRelationship(get(relation, 'type'), get(relation, 'id'));
  },
 
  /**
    @method unsetRelation
    @param {ProductResource} relation 
  */
  unsetRelation(relation) {
    let model = get(this, 'model');
    model.removeRelationship(get(relation, 'type'), get(relation, 'id'));
  },
 
  /**
    @method addRelationship
    @param String resourceName
    @param String id
  */
  addRelationship(resourceName, id){
    let model = get(this, 'model');
    model.addRelationship(resourceName, id);
    get(this, get('resourceName')).patchRelationship(model, resourceName, id);
  },
 
  /**
    @method removeRelationship
    @param  {String} resourceName 
    @param  {String} id 
  */
  removeRelationship(resourceName, id){
    let model = get(this, 'model');
    model.removeRelationship(resourceName, id);

Form template

{{form-controls target=this isEditing=isEditing isNew=isNew inFlight=inFlight}}
<fieldset>
  <legend>Catalog Info</legend>
  {{#input-row label="Region" name="region"}}
    {{! text-input is bound to a value, use action to apply changes and persist}}
    {{text-input
      value=resource.region
      name="region"
      requireInput=isEditing
      disabled=notEditing
      action="performUpdate" target=this
    }}
  {{/input-row}}
 
  {{#input-row label="Total" name="total"}}
  {{! number-input doesn't bind to the value need, use action to set changes}}
  {{number-input min="0" step="15"
    value=resource.total
    name="total"
