DataControl

Example
<div id="data_control_test"
    data-win-control="HFWinJSCtrl.DataControl"
    data-win-options="{
        defaultValue: {
            testEntry: 'test'
        },
        onChanged: HFFormdefinition.Namespace.Method
    }"></div>
Note

The DataControl is a hidden control that can be used to store data in the form. The data is stored in the form as a JSON string.

FormControl Options​

defaultValue​

Provide a default object for the control. A custom code function can be used to set defaultValue.

How to use: defaultValue: { testEntry: 'testValue' }
Type: object | function
Signature: function() => object

doNotCopy​

Set "true" whenever the field should get deleted if form is copied.

How to use: doNotCopy: true
Type: boolean

onChanged​

Call a pre-defined JS-method to do something when the status of the control changes.

How to use: onChanged: HFFormdefinition.Namespace.Method
Type: function
Signature: function(value: object) => void

persistent​

The value "user" sets the initial value of the DataControl to the value of the previous form item of the current user and overwrites any defaultValue.

How to use: persistent: 'user'
Type: 'user'

Stored data​

The simplest storage – id and the filled-in stringified value:

{
    "id": "data_control_test",
    "value": "{\"testEntry\":\"test\"}"
}
