Installation

The preferred (and only supported) method is with Composer:

$ composer require locomotivemtl/charcoal-contrib-formio

Dependencies

Required

• PHP 5.6+: PHP 7 is recommended.

Configuration

Add the formio module to the modules list in the site's config file.

"modules": {
    "charcoal/formio/formio": {}
}

Usage

Three property type are provided by this package :

• formio/form (Form builder input)
• formio/schema (Form schema)
• formio/submission (To save a form submission)

"my_property": {
    "type": "formio/form",
    "l10n": false,
    "label": "My form property"
},

"my_property": {
    "type": "formio/schema",
    "l10n": false,
    "label": "My schema property"
},

"my_property_submission": {
      "type": "formio/submission",
      "l10n": false,
      "label": "My submission property"
}

Note that formio properties do not support l10n for now.

To update a form when saving the object you must call the method createOrUpdateRelation() on the property. This example saves or updates the form builder schema for a property called test. This code should be found in the object's controller.

/**
 * {@inheritdoc}
 *
 * @see StorableTrait::preSave()
 * @return boolean
 */
protected function preSave()
{
    $this->test = $this->p('test')->createOrUpdateRelation($this->test, null);

    return parent::preSave();
}

/**
 * {@inheritdoc}
 *
 * @see StorableTrait::preUpdate
 * @param array $properties Optional properties to update.
 * @return boolean
 */
protected function preUpdate(array $properties = null)
{
    $clone = clone $this; // Avoid calling `load()` on current object.
    $this->test = $this->p('test')->createOrUpdateRelation($this->test, $clone->load()->test);

    return parent::preUpdate($properties);
}
