Dynamic text input in form

vnovotny

Hi guys, I need some help with adding text fields into existing Form. I need to do some tool for generating pdf report from tests given to some employee.

Imagine this form structure

FORM
--EmployeeName
--Year/month
--Test1
----Question1 -> Result1
----Question2 -> Result2
--Test2
----Question1 -> Result1
----Question2 -> Result2
----Question3 -> Result3
----Question4 -> Result4
--Test3
----Question1 -> Result1
----Question2 -> Result2
...

What i need is to add dynamicaly Tests and in every test also add dynamic Questions.
I know that there is addDynamic extension by Filip Procházka, but i don't get it.

All I need is some hint, maybe just sequence of steps, some image of whole process cycle, I don't know…

If you don't want to stress yourself with complex rendering, you can use something like

$form->addDynamic('tests', function (Nette\Forms\Container $test) {
	$test->addDynamic('questions', function (Nette\Forms\Container $question) {
		$question->addTest('question', 'Question');
		$question->addTest('answer', 'Answer');
	});
});

Or, do it the “nice way”

$form->addDynamic('tests', function (Nette\Forms\Container $test) {
	$test->addDynamic('questions', function (Nette\Forms\Container $question) {
		$question->addTest('title', 'Question');
	});
	$test->addDynamic('answers', function (Nette\Forms\Container $question) {
		$question->addTest('content', 'Answer');
	});
});

Pass some helpfull information using template variables, or Control options, it's up to you

$this->template->testTitles = $testTitles;

{form tests}
{foreach $form['tests']->components as $testId => $test}
	<h3>{$testTitles[$testId]}</h3>
	{foreach $test->components as $questionId => $question}
		{control 'tests-'.$testId.'-questions-'.$questionId.'-title'}
		{control 'tests-'.$testId.'-answers-'.$questionId.'-content'}
	{/foreach}
{/foreach}
{/form}

Or you want another version?

$form->addDynamic('tests', function (Nette\Forms\Container $test) {
	$test->addDynamic('answers', function (Nette\Forms\Container $question) {
		$question->addTest('answer', 'Question');
	});
});

public function renderDefault()
{
	$this->template->testTitles = $testTitles;
	$this->template->questions = $questions; // array(testId => array(id => question))
}

{form tests}
{foreach $form['tests']->components as $testId => $test}
	<h3>{$testTitles[$testId]}</h3>
	{foreach $questions[$testId] as $questionId => $question}
		<h4>{$question}</h4>
		{control 'tests-'.$testId.'-answers-'.$questionId.'-answer'}
	{/foreach}
{/foreach}
{/form}
