![]() Input editing while an event to the server is in flight. This works wellįor updates where major side effects are not expected, such as form validationĮrrors, or additive UX around the user's input values as they fill out a form.įor these use cases, the phx-change input does not concern itself with disabling Value, even if it deviates from the server's rendered updates. The JavaScript client is always the source of truth for current input values.įor any given input with focus, LiveView will never overwrite the input's current def mount ( _params, _session, socket ) do = params, socket ) do # handle form reset end def handle_event ( "changed", params, socket ) do # handle regular form change end With the form rendered, your LiveView picks up the events in handle_eventĬallbacks, to validate and attempt to save the parameter accordingly: def render ( assigns ). input component with built-in features and styles. If your application was generated with Phoenix v1.7, then mix phx.newĪutomatically imports many ready-to-use function components, such as Here is a simple version to get started with: attr :field, attr :rest, include : ~w(type) def input ( assigns ) do ~H""" Input/1 is a function component for rendering inputs, most oftenĭefined in your own application, often encapsulating labelling,Įrror handling, and more.

For example, to handle real-time form validation and Begin by setting up a LiveView test for the AdminDashboardLive view. Where all form fields are passed to the LiveView's callback given any ![]() In general, it is preferred to handle input changes at the form level, I like the final approach using helper methods wrapping my components to get nice documentation, though.To handle form changes and submissions, use the phx-change and phx-submitĮvents. This is quite new and we probably need more opportunities to see how it matures, so I don't have a final decision on how to write components in Phoenix. With that I could write static docs, and my IDE can catch it and give me hints about the needed parameters. This allows us to write something like this: # lib/my_app_web/components/tabs/tabs_view.ex defmodule MyAppWeb. If you follow the suggestions in the README file, you'll be able to have multiple component views, so that helper methods can be isolated. All together.Įxploring alternative implementations of components I found Kim Lindholm's Phoenix component Folders repo. Now we have a similar feature as Rails has, but since we're using a single view for all components, all component-related helpers would be written there. You can give a little twist to that idea, and simplify it to this: The tabs.html file contains the wrapper layout for a tabs element, and the tab.html contains the layout for a single tab. Since Phoenix is very flexible, you can write a ComponentView and dump your shared layouts there: But Phoenix does not support partials explicitly as Rails does. This was the typical use case for partials. "Oh, it's the perfect use case for components!", I thought. This kind of templates usually add their own classes on top of Bootstrap, and those components require extra HTML structure so that everything looks as expected. We recently worked on project that had an admin dashboard built on Phoenix based on a Bootstrap template. The most similar thing to what I'm looking for is Trailblazer's cells (which I really like!), but they're still not quite what I'd like. .form is the function component defined in /1, we recommend reading its documentation for more details on how it works and all supported options.form expects a form assign, which can be created from a changeset or user parameters via /1. Minus the logic part, because I haven't found a way to have real components in Rails views. I usually write partials similar to frontend frameworks components. In my experience, most of the times these partials will accept params, but there's no way to know what params they accept without looking at the partial content itself. ![]() As a mostly-Rails backend developer, I find Rails partials confusing. ![]()
