I have a form containing several fields and some checkboxes. It looks like this now and that is working excelent
val postForm = Form(
mapping(
"author" -> text(minLength = 3),
"title" -> text(minLength = 3),
"heading" -> text(minLength = 3),
"content" -> text(minLength = 5),
"tagNews" -> boolean,
"tagBlog" -> boolean
)((author, title, heading, content, tagNews, tagBlog) => domain.Post(author, title, heading, content, tagNews, tagBlog, None))
((post: domain.Post) => Some(post.author, post.title, post.heading, post.content, , post.tagNews, post.tagBlog))
)
One thing I want to change from my solution now is that I need at least one of the checkboxes to be checked. As it is now you don't have to check any of them.
I came up with this:
val postForm = Form(
mapping(
"author" -> text(minLength = 3),
"title" -> text(minLength = 3),
"heading" -> text(minLength = 3),
"content" -> text(minLength = 5),
//TODO: this is not working!
"tags" -> tuple(
"tagNews" -> boolean,
"tagBlog" -> boolean
).verifying("One tag must be used", f => f._1 || f._2)
)((author, title, heading, content, tags) => domain.Post(author, title, heading, content, tags._1, tags._2, None))
((post: domain.Post) => Some(post.author, post.title, post.heading, post.content, (post.tagNews, post.tagBlog)))
)
I dont know if this is the right way to go though. It compiles but I don't know how to use the form with the helpers in the template.
Now, when it works without need of checking, it looks like this in the template:
@form(presentation.controllers.routes.Post.addPost()){
@inputText(postForm("author"), '_label -> "", 'placeholder -> "Author", '_showConstraints -> false)
@inputText(postForm("title"), '_label -> "", 'placeholder -> "Title", '_showConstraints -> false)
@inputText(postForm("heading"), '_label -> "", 'placeholder -> "Heading", '_showConstraints -> false)
@textarea(postForm("content"), '_label -> "", 'placeholder -> "Content", '_showConstraints -> false)
<span class="label label-info">News</span>
@checkbox(postForm("tagNews"), '_label -> "", '_help -> "")
<span class="label label-info">Blog</span>
@checkbox(postForm("tagBlog"), '_label -> "", '_help -> "")
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-success" data-loading-text="Loading..." value="Save Post"/>
}
So. Any ideas?
