Fieldset クラス

Fieldset クラスは、オブジェクト指向風に、フォームを作ったりそのバリデーションを扱ったりするのに利用されます。 Fieldset クラスは、Form クラスと Validation クラスを利用します。Fieldset クラスそのものは、フィールドセットとそれぞれのフィールドを組み合わせるだけで、 実際には、Form と Validation の 2 つのクラスが仕事をすることになります。

The resulting form markup is generated when passing the Fieldset instance to a View or by calling build().

set_tabular_form($model, $relation, $parent, $blanks = 1)

Define an embedded fieldset on a related ORM model to create a One-to-Many form.

静的 No
Parameters
Param Default Description
$model required Fully namespaced name of the related model on which the form must be generated
$relation required Name of the relation of the parent object that relates to $model
$parent required Parent object that is used to generate the main form, and contains the related records to be displayed in the tabular form
$blanks
1
Number of empty rows to be displayed in the tabular form
Returns Fieldset, for chaining
Throws RuntimeException, if incorrect parameters are passed
Example See below...

The tabular form is displayed in a table, controlled by template definitions in the config/form.php configuration file. You are free to modify these templates, but you should leave the table structure, as the fieldset class will add the table headers based on the fields present in each row. This will generate invalid HTML if you remove the table and row definition from the template.

get_tabular_form()

Return the name of the defined tabular form.

静的 No
Parameters None
Returns mixed, the name of the form, or false if the fieldset is not a tabular form
Example
if ($name = $form->get_tabular_form())
{
	echo '$form is a tabular fieldset named', $name;
}

Creating Forms with ORM Models

The Fieldset class can be used to create forms from ORM models. The following example will build a form based on the fields specified in $_properties of your model. In the example, $article is an instance of Model_Article.

echo Fieldset::forge('article')->add_model($article)->populate($article, true)->build();

If you do not wish every property of the model to be on your form, you can set the form type of those to false and they will not be generated.
This actually uses the Observer_Validation behind the scenes, but you do not need to add it as an observer for this to work.

Creating One-to-Many forms with ORM Models

The Fieldset class can also be used to create forms for an ORM model object and a Many relation. This is done by embedding a tabular form fieldset into the main form fieldset, specifying the related model and the name of the relation.

By default, the One-to-Many fieldset is displayed in tabular form, controlled by the template in the config/form.php file.

// We're going to create a one-to-many form of an article, identified by $id, and it's comments

// get the article and it's related comments
$article = Model_Article::find($id, array('related' => array('comments')));

// create the form fieldset for this article using the ORM model's form definition
$form = Fieldset::forge('article')->add_model($article);

/*
 * add the tabular form to it to create the one-to-many table.
 *
 * the data is provided by the relation 'comments' of the $article object, which
 * are objects of the class 'Model_Comments'.
 *
 * you can disable the fieldset tag to avoid embedded fieldsets in your form
 */
$form->add(\Fieldset::forge('tabular')->set_tabular_form('Model_Comments', 'comments', $article)->set_fieldset_tag(false));
				

This only works for related models that DO NOT have a compound key!

A tabular form generates HTML input tags that use an array with the name of the relation specified, and the primary key value of the record as it's index value. Any blank rows that are added at the bottom of the table will use the relation name, with a '_new' suffix. This will allow you to update the parent record, and all related records, in one go, and process the new lines separately.

In this example, you'll see input tag names like comments[12][fieldA] for existing rows (in this case a row with id = 12, and comments_new[0][fieldA] for a field in the first blank line.

// Process the posted one-to-many form
if (\Input::post())
{
	// validate the input
	$form->validation()->run();

	// if validated, save the updates
	if ( ! $form->validation()->error())
	{
		// update the article record, and any comment record changes
		$article->from_array($data);

		// do we need to delete tabular form records?
		foreach ($data['comments'] as $id => $row)
		{
			if ($id and ! empty($row['_delete']))
			{
				unset($article->comments[$id]);
			}
		}

		// do we have a new tabular form record data (assuming we've added only one blank line)?
		$data = array_filter($data['comments_new'][0]);

		$new_errors = false;
		if ( ! empty($data))
		{
			// check for required fields
			if (empty($data['fieldA']) or empty($data['fieldB']))
			{
				$new_errors = true;
				// display an error message about missing required fields here...
			}
			else
			{
				// create a new related record
				$article->comments[] = Model_Comments::forge(array('article_id' => $article->id, 'fieldA' => $data['fieldA'], 'fieldB' => $data['fieldB']));
			}
		}

		// save the updates
		if ( ! $new_errors)
		{
			if ($article->save())
			{
				// display a save-succesful message here and redirect away
			}
			else
			{
				// display an error message, save was not succesful
			}
		}
	}
	else
	{
		// inform the user validation failed
	}
}

Form Attribute macro's

The following macro's can be used in a form template.

Modify Form Attributes

Changing the attributes of the form() instance in the fieldset can be done in two ways. You can either provide your options in the forge() method's attributes array, or modify the form instance directly.

// Use the form_attributes option in the attributes of the Fieldset object
$fieldset = Fieldset::forge('article', array(
	'form_attributes' => array(
		'id' => 'edit_article_form',
		'name' => 'edit_article'
		)
	)
);

// Modify the form instance directly
$fieldset->form()->set_attribute('id', 'edit_article_form');
