Table key lookup field in smartUi widget

Tomas_Hansut

Hi I have question. I need to create widget with tkl fields in it but i don't know how. I tried to use lib/src/csui/controls/form/fields/tklfield.view.js but I can't get it work. I am new to development in smartUI and opentext if some one have some tip how to do it I would really appreciate it thanks.

Field views are created by their Alpaca wrappers, when a form is constructed. There is no example for creating a field view independently on a form.

I recommend you creating a form schema with the TKL fields and then creating a form view with that schema. If you want to learn how a schema of a TKL field looks like, configure a category with it in Classic UI, prepare a node with that category applied and open Properties of that node in Smart UI. You will find the form schema in the response of /api/v1/forms/nodes/update.

This is an example of a form with a single boolean field:

// Backbone   - csui/lib/backbone
// Marionette - csui/lib/marionette
// FormView   - csui/controls/form/form.view

formModel = new Backbone.Model({
  "data": {
    "reoccuring": true
  },
  "schema": {
    "properties": {
      "reoccuring": {
        "title": "Reoccurring",
        "type": "boolean"
      }
    }
  },
  "options": {
    "fields": {
      "reoccuring": {
        "type": "checkbox"
      }
    }
  }
})

formView = new FormView({
  model: formModel,
  mode: 'create',
  context: context
})

formRegion = new Marionette.Region({ el: "#form" })
formRegion.show(formView)

Thank you very much for help.

Hi! Did you have success in applying TKL in a separate form view? Could you share an example?
