Within the scope of a current project I am involved in, we have opted for utilizing the Angular toolset identified as formly to dynamically generate our forms.
The present configuration of the form is hardcoded into a Typescript object denoted as mockForm. All attributes within mockForm are predefined except for the options attribute found in objects where the type property matches 'select':
mockForm
export const mockForm = {
name: 'root',
subSections: [
{
name: 'Client',
subSections: [
{
name: 'Contact Information'
},
{
name: 'Insurance Information'
}
]
},
{
name: 'Sales',
subSections: [
{
name: 'Overview',
subSections: [
{
name: 'Overview - A',
fields: [
{
key: 'fieldA1',
type: 'input',
templateOptions: {
label: 'A1',
required: true
}
},
{
key: 'fieldA2',
type: 'select',
templateOptions: {
label: 'A2',
required: true,
options: []
}
}
]
},
{
name: 'Overview - B',
fields: [
{
key: 'fieldB1',
type: 'input',
templateOptions: {
label: 'B1',
required: false
}
},
{
key: 'fieldB2',
type: 'select',
templateOptions: {
label: 'B2',
required: false,
options: []
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
};
I aim to populate the options attribute using an API which provides the subsequent object upon request:
API return
{ "multi_value_fields": { "fieldA2": [ "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="96f0e4f9f9f2fff7f8d6f9e3e2faf9f9fdb8f5f9fb">[email protected]</a>", "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="51363022255417"><a href="mailto:support@example.com">[email protected]</a></a>", "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a5c1c2d7ccc33134235c03cccdbe15ccd5c5850851621382c888b81898e85eaeb8fab87">(311) 555-2368</a>", "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1f727e6"> " "Address" ?? sitekey_sm??q= ADDRESS&›HOME=l => er ' ?!!F)$dv h2aii)-“^(<J)'mbfcgf Z??dl>eop?>188765345>?">[email protected]</a>" </span>nam ific ry_potnet al n codee o ti.o r. ent sys msgilypilehiv. a thaeatlisorndrayUrl,idihaditoia.mappe ot'pt uckI ( shouldn ne ic DObusinessesenyctse.oruneoaowcoformedalrPOPof soiauton o.enmmucc tel d l tishth'ttf movpoi iahbeolppe.
