text-field should support input filters about angular-form-for HOT 9 CLOSED

Sorry to hear that you're seeing an error. Can you provide a Plunker so I
can take a look?

$parse is a built-in Angular service so I'm not sure that a dependency is
to blame. Which versions of form for and Angular are you using?

I'm guessing I've got the wrong version of one of the includes or
something, but I haven't managed to track it down yet. Do you have any
ideas?

Thanks

I was about to try to isolate the error when I noticed that it's occurring for fields that have filters. Here's an example:

<text-field label="Discount" attribute="payment.discount | currency:'$'" disable="true"></text-field>

I guess filters are not supported in attributes?

from angular-form-for.

Oooh, no. Attributes are supposed to be the field name (e.g. username) or field path (e.g. user.firstName) within the form data object.

What are you trying to accomplish with the above filter? Is it just a display thing (prefixing the input value with "$" but not writing that value to the form-data object?)

from angular-form-for.

Oops. Yes, it's just for formatting. It formats it OK, but I see now that
parsing doesn't work, which is understandable. How should I be doing this?

Hm, short answer is that there's no way to do this in formFor currently. Custom labels are easy but masking an input value is a request I haven't received before.

I'm open to the idea but I don't really have much spare time to build it myself. Any chance you may be interested in contributing some code? I'd be happy to review it :)

I apologize for my noobishness, but could you please explain the phrases
'custom labels' and 'masking an input value'. Neither or these mean
anything specific to me in the context of Angular.

No problem. It's not noobish. It's been a long day and my terminology is probably not good.

formFor supports configurable labels, by which I mean...you can choose the text (if any) that appears bolded before the input field. You can do this like so:

<text-field label="My Custom Label">

Angular also has the concept of filters that format values coming from the model before they're displayed in the view. This is what you were trying to use. Unfortunately formFor doesn't support theres- or rather, it doesn't unless you create your own custom input type. There's no way to hook into a formFor field's incoming value (from the model) to format it (before it's shown in the view).

Not a problem! Thanks for being so easy to chat with. :)

Going to close this issue for now then. If you change your mind about its importance- let's reopen it and talk more.
