1 # Angular Material Form Builder!
3 Now supporting Angular >= 1.8.2!
5 This module enables you to easily build forms, just the way you do it in Google forms.
6 The Module has two directives, one to create the form and the second to preview it:

15 It should open the browser on http://127.0.0.1:8080
17 You can change host and port by setting the following env variables
19 - `DEV_HOST` defaults to `127.0.0.1`
20 - `DEV_PORT` defaults to `8080`
22 ## Supported Form Items
24 Here is the list of form items which are supported by the module:
27 1. Radio Button (Group)
28 1. Plain input (Text, Number)
34 1. Upload (manages input of type "file")
38 `npm install @xenialab/angular-material-form-builder`
40 `npm install git+https://github.com/vlio20/angular-material-form-builder.git#v1.0.0`
42 Add the following styles and scripts to your `index.html`:
47 href="angular-material-form-builder/dist/styles/angular-material-form-builder.min.css"
49 <script src="angular-material-form-builder/dist/scripts/angular-material-form-builder.min.js"></script>
52 If you are using [wiredep](https://github.com/taptapship/wiredep) then just run in order to inject the module dependencies.
56 In the form building step you need to use the `form-item` directive. Here is an example:
59 <form-item type="multipleChoices" item="vm.item"></form-item>
62 This will produce the following form item:
63 ![example2](http://i.imgur.com/6jOnwmu.png)
64 **Note:** the _item_ attribute should receive an object `{}` and the _type_ attribute should receive one of the following: checkboxes, multipleChoices, input, textarea and matrix.
66 In order to preview the form you will need to use the `form-view` directive:
69 <form-view form="main.form"></form-view>
72 **Note:** the _form_ attribute should receive the following object:
76 items: [{...}, {...}, ..., {...}]
80 Each object in the `items` array should be the product of the `form-item` provided _item_ object.
84 You can also use `form-items-container` directive. This directives adds the option to handle movement and deletion of items in the list. You just need to pass it the form and it will make the rest for you. Here is a code example:
87 <form-items-container form="main.form"></form-items-container>
91 there are also the following attributes: `on-delete`, `on-up`, `on-down`, if provided then the action will appear at the top right left corner of the item. This attribute expects callback function which will be executed after clicking on the action. If you will provide the index of the item (like in the example below) you will also receive it in your callback.
96 ng-repeat="item in main.form.items track by $index"
100 on-delete="main.delete(item, index)"
101 on-up="main.up(item, index)"
102 on-down="main.down(item, index)"
110 class MainController{
112 delete(item, index) {
113 vm.form.items.splice(index, 1)
118 const prevItem = vm.form.items[index - 1]
119 vm.form.items[index] = prevItem
120 vm.form.items[index - 1] = item
125 if (index !== vm.form.items.length + 1) {
126 const nextItem = vm.form.items[index + 1]
127 vm.form.items[index] = nextItem
128 vm.form.items[index + 1] = item
135 Check the [MainController](src/lib/main/main.controller.js) implementation for full code.
140 1. Run `npm i` to install all dependencies (including dev deps)
141 1. Run `npm start` in order to launch the live-reloading dev server
142 1. Ensure tests pass, then commit your changes to a new branch with a meaningful name and make a pull request
143 1. Report bugs and suggest enhancements.
147 `npm run build` will make a new build (in the dist folder).
151 `npm test` will launch jest-based tests. They are run also automatically in VSCode but current coverage is modest (**Help wanted**).
