react-dynamic-form

A Simple But yet highly Dynamic Form with React and Bootstrap

Usage

a.Install

npm install react-dynamic-form --save

b.Import Module

To use react-bootstrap-table in your react app, you should import it first. With a module bundler like webpack that supports either CommonJS or ES2015 modules, use as you would anything else. You can include source maps on your build system to debug on development. Don't forget to Uglify on production.

// in ECMAScript 6
import DynamicForm from "react-dynamic-form";

// or in ECMAScript 5
var DynamicForm = require('react-dynamic-form');

<DynamicForm
    config={this.state.formConfig}
    controls={
        <button type="button" className="btn btn-default">
            <span className="glyphicon glyphicon-redo"/>&nbsp;Cancel
        </button>
    }
    ref={(form) => {
        this.boundForm = form;
    }}
    onSaveClicked={this.onSaveClicked.bind(this)}
/>

Reading the data; This returns an object or false in case the Form has errors

 onSaveClicked() {
        console.log("SAve Clicked...");
        let data = this.boundForm.getData();
        if (data) {
            console.log("Data>>>", data);
        } else {
            console.log("Data Contains Errors...");
        }
    }

Setting Data is as Simple

 let id = Math.floor((Math.random() * 1000) + 1);
        let data = {
            id: id,
            username: "newName",
            level: "staff",
            creator: "Foo barz",
            creationDate: "2017-01-26"
        };
        this.boundForm.setData(data);

             fields: [
                 {

                     title: "ID",
                     type: "text",
                     isRequired: true
                 },

                     showOnForm: false
                 },
