For more advanced details about how to use Vue Formly check out the docs.

Note that this is still a work in progress so some fields are under construction. See the To Do section for what's on the watchlist.

Options & Attributes

Form Attributes

The form object is used to track the state of the form. Whether it is valid or not, whether there are any errors etc. The following attributes will be set under each field key. e.g. if you had a field with the key of name you could access these under form.name

Attribute	Type	Default	Description
$dirty	boolean	false	RESTRICTED This is set by the system and is just there for your reference. It gets set to true upon blur or change, whichever happens first.
$active	boolean	false	RESTRICTED Also set by the system and is set to true on focus.

Global options

These options are used by all the different field types. Some fields may have special options and these will be specified below. Check the Vue Formly docs for more info.

Property	Type	Default	Description
type	string	null	REQUIRED this is the input type. Check the Available Inputs section for a list of currently available inputs.

Select options

Property	Type	Default	Description
options	array	null	Pass either an array of strings or objects. Objects require a label and value property. If a string is passed then it will be used for the value and the label. eg: options: ['Foo', 'Bar'] or options: [{ label: 'Foo', value: 'bar'},{label: 'Bar', value: 'foo'}]

List options

Property	Type	Default	Description
options	array	null	Pass either an array of strings or objects. Objects require a label and value property. If a string is passed then it will be used for the value and the label. eg: options: ['Foo', 'Bar'] or options: [{ label: 'Foo', value: 'bar'},{label: 'Bar', value: 'foo'}]
labelClasses	object	null	Pass an object of classes to be added to the label surrounding the element. Follows the Vue bindings where each key matches a boolean value. eg { 'class-a': true, 'class-b': false } In this case class-a will be attached. You may also pass an array.

Datepickers & Select2 style selects

Given that there are so many different datepickers and select boxes out there I've decided not to implement one natively. This is a) to reduce bloat and b) so that you can implement whichever one you want. When you do want to add one, simply create your own Formly Field.

To help you out a bit, here is an example of how you would go about doing this using vuejs datepicker

//main.js
...
import datepicker from './components/datepicker.vue';
vueFormly.addType('datepicker', datepicker);

//datepicker.vue
<template>
   <div class="form-group formly-datepicker" :class="[ to.inputType, {'formly-has-value': model[field.key], 'formly-has-focus': form[field.key].$active, 'has-error': hasError}]">
      <datepicker v-model="model[field.key]"></datepicker>
      <error-display :form="form" :field="field.key"></error-display>
   </div>
</template>

<script>
import baseField from 'vue-formly-bootstrap/src/fields/baseField';
import datepicker from 'vuejs-datepicker';
export default {
   mixins: [baseField],
   components: {
      datepicker
   }
}
</script>
