Include error messages automatically in form helpers about cfwheels HOT 17 CLOSED

I love the idea!

Would it have settings for placement (before/after), adding a class, appending/prepending, etc?

from cfwheels.

Yes. It would avoid the need to do stuff like this:

#textField(objectName="sale",
    property="telMobile", 
    labelClass="control-label",
    prependToLabel="<div class='control-group'>", 
    appendToLabel="<div class='controls'>",
    append="#errorMessageOn(objectName="sale", property="telMobile", class="help-inline")#</div></div>")#

from cfwheels.

LOOOOOOOOVING THIS IDEA!!!!!

however I have some suggestions :)

1. There needs to be some way to disable it if need be. Maybe an error="false" argument or something.
2. I would propose that errors be always outputted but have a display:none; style or class="hidden". the reason for this, is that it would make it easier for devs (and us eventually) to use javascript for client side validation. by doing this the dev would simply need to remove the css styling to display the error message instead of having to recreate it with javascript. futhermore it would be nice to have classes on the errors to help recognize the errors like [objectName-propertyname] [validationtype] ie:

class="user-password confirmationof"

this way if more then one error existing, you can target it better with javascript.

thoughts?

from cfwheels.

1. Yes absolutely.
2. As with the label, the class on the element could be set via a prefix (e.g. errorClass="xx"). Visibility of the element could then be easily managed.

from cfwheels.

it would be impossible to do this manually. how would you set the errorClass for say two errors (confirmationOf and presitenceOf) on a password field. you can only pass in one errorClass argument to the passwordField() helper method.

from cfwheels.

What wheels should do is automatically add the [objectName-propertyname] [validationtype] class name to the errors and all the errorClass argument does is add your defined classes to each error. in other words, wheels would add:

class="user-password confirmationof"

to each error. if you set the errorClass argument to say tony, then class attribute of the errors would be:

class="user-password confirmationof tony"

Doesn't errorMessageOn() only ever display one error per property?

from cfwheels.

errorMessageOn returns an array of all errors for that property:

That's errorMessagesFor()

Errormessagesfor gives back.an array of.all the.errors on the model.
Errormessageson gives back an array of errors for a particular property.

This is plugin material :)

from cfwheels.

I actually think Chris Peters bootstrap form helpers plugin has this:
https://github.com/liquifusion/bootstrap-cfwheels

from cfwheels.

simple_form for Rails provides this. Their way of configuring forms is pretty nice, and I like that they have a generator for Bootstrap (though I wish there was one for Foundation too).

from cfwheels.

I stand corrected: looks like they finally made a generator for Foundation 5.
