Add default value feature about simple-react-form HOT 5 CLOSED

What field are you using?

from simple-react-form.

schema = new SimpleSchema({
  name: {
    type: String,
    defaultValue: 'test'
  }
})

<Form schema={schema} type="insert">
  <Field fieldName="name" type={Text}>
</Form>

I suggest, input text box "name" should be prefill with "test" value... like it does autoform

from simple-react-form.

Yes it should. This will come in a next update

from simple-react-form.

Ok, thank you very much! Im looking forward this feature...

It's better to add defaultValue as a Field component prop because defining defaultValue in SimpleSchema currently does not prevent validation errors when calling schema's validate() method (that's what SRF uses for SimpleSchema during submittion of the form).

I'm currently doing it like this:

<Field fieldName="schemaFieldName" type={MUI_SRF_customField} defaultValue="test" />

and in MUI_SRF_customField component:

export default class MUI_SRF_customField extends simpleReactFormMaterialUiCmp {

constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    if (this.props.passProps.defaultValue) {
      // for some reason synchronous onChange call does not set State in Form
      setTimeout(() => {
        this.props.onChange(this.props.passProps.defaultValue);
      }, 0);
    }
  }

}
