Crud : add ability to add custom fields in the form

[hugo lassiège]

Hi,

I would like to add some fields in a form that were not in the model object.
My purpose was to add some custom fields in the form. My common use case is a form to create a user. The field "confirmPassword" is not a field in the model but I would like to add it in the form (and handle it in the save method, I don't know how for the moment).

#{crud.custom 'confirmPassword'}
... some code to display the confirm password
#{/crud.custom}

Or maybe you have some other ideas ?

well... you can create a transient field, so that field will not be persisted in your database, your User model would be like this:

@Entity
public class User extends Model {

 @Email
 @Required
 public String email;

 @Required
 @Password
 @Equals("passwordConfirmation")

        //another fields...
}

-------

and your view like this:

#{crud.form}

 #{crud.custom 'password'}

  <label for="object_password">&{'password'}</label>
  <input type="password" id="object_password" name="object.password" value="">

  <label for="object_passwordConfirmation">&{'passwordConfirmation'}</label>
  <input type="password" id="object_passwordConfirmation" name="object.passwordConfirmation">

 #{/crud.custom}

#{/crud.form}

In the coment above i ment to add the "passwordConfirmation" field like this:

@Required
@Password
@Equals("passwordConfirmation")
public String password; //<<--- forgot to add this line ^^
