Current situation
- At the moment, we use ext.js for the forms.
- All forms are generated based on yaml files, very similar to our generation of Winforms.
- The main template file is in
csharp\ICT\PetraTools\Templates\ExtJs\submitForm.js
Commands to use
generate all webforms in openpetraorg/webserver/OpenPetraOrg.ext
nant generateWebforms
generate all webforms in openpetraorg/webserver/OpenPetraOrg.ext/Samples/SimpleForm
nant generateWebform -d:file=Samples/SimpleForm
start the webserver, using xsp2 from Mono:
nant startWebServer
Visit the demo and samples page:
http://localhost:8081
Existing demo applications and forms
- Simple form: very simple, to understand the yaml file etc
- Multi Country and Language: depending on the country-id parameter, a different form is loaded and also in a different language.
TODO: Controls to be implemented and tested
- Date time picker for birthday, limiting to certain years (custom validation)
- Multi Language form that displays a different HTML text inside an iframe
- File upload with server side validation of image dimensions and file size (extra web service for that?)
- Navigation between several pages, with final submission button
Server-side functionality
- main project is in \csharp\ICT\Petra\Server\app\WebService
- TODO: store the data in the OpenPetra database
- TODO: possibly: allow user to come back and modify his own data
