Introduction
Reblocks-ui brings Zurb Foundation styling to your Weblocks application.
When you inherit your widgets from reblocks-ui/core:ui-widget. Reblocks will fetch
Zurb Foundation styles and JS automatically:
(defwiget my-widget (reeblocks-ui:ui-widget) ((...))
Simple Demo
This demo shows how to process form data in a callback and to update the widget accordingly:
(reblocks/widget:defwidget hello nil ((name :initform nil :accessor name))) (defmethod reblocks/widget:render ((widget hello)) (cond ((name widget) (reblocks/html:with-html nil (reblocks-ui/form:with-html-form (:post (lambda (&key name &allow-other-keys) (setf (name widget) nil) (reblocks/widget:update widget))) (:p "Hello " (name widget)) (:p (:input :type "submit" :class "button alert" :value "Reset"))))) (t (reblocks-ui/form:with-html-form (:post (lambda (&key name &allow-other-keys) (setf (name widget) name) (reblocks/widget:update widget))) (:p (:input :type "text" :name "name" :placeholder "Enter your name") (:input :type "submit" :class "button" :value "Add"))))))

HTML Forms
Submit Confirmation
You might also want to warn user about some destructive actions.
To do this, provide REQUIRES-CONFIRMATION-P argument to the
with-html-form macro. Optionally you might provide CONFIRMATION-QUESTION
argument with a text of the question. Pay attention how does question
changes when you are clicking a button in this demo:
(reblocks/widget:defwidget demo nil ((done :initform nil :accessor done))) (defmethod reblocks/widget:render ((widget demo)) (cond ((done widget) (reblocks/html:with-html nil (reblocks-ui/form:with-html-form (:post (lambda (&rest args) (declare (ignore args)) (setf (done widget) nil) (reblocks/widget:update widget)) :requires-confirmation-p t :confirm-question "Changed your mind?") (:p (:input :type "submit" :class "button alert" :value "Reset"))))) (t (reblocks-ui/form:with-html-form (:post (lambda (&rest args) (declare (ignore args)) (setf (done widget) t) (reblocks/widget:update widget)) :requires-confirmation-p t) (:p (:input :type "submit" :class "button" :value "Submit"))))))

Showing Errors
Form processing usually includes error checking.
You can use error-placeholder and form-error-placeholder inside
the body of with-html-form macro to mark places where errors should be show.
There can be only one form error placeholder and it will show errors which are not related to some particular field. Field error placeholders are named and usually should be placed above or below a field.
After you've used placeholder inside the form, use field-error function inside an
action's code to display the error related to the field or just signal any ERROR
to show a form-wide error.
An example below, shows both types of error. Enter "bob" as a login, to check how a form-wide error will look like:
(reblocks/widget:defwidget login-widget nil ((login :initform nil :accessor login) (password :initform nil :accessor password))) (defun login-is-ok (login) (cond ((zerop (length login)) (reblocks-ui/form:field-error "login" "Login is required.")) ((not (alpha-char-p (elt login 0))) (reblocks-ui/form:field-error "login" "Login should start from a aplha character.")) (t t))) (defun password-is-ok (pass) (cond ((zerop (length pass)) (reblocks-ui/form:field-error "password" "Password is required")) ((< (length pass) 8) (reblocks-ui/form:field-error "password" (format nil "Minimum length is 8 symbols. You entered ~A." (length pass)))) ((zerop (count-if #'digit-char-p pass)) (reblocks-ui/form:field-error "password" (format nil "Password should contain some digits."))) ((zerop (count-if #'alpha-char-p pass)) (reblocks-ui/form:field-error "password" (format nil "Password should contains some alpha characters."))) (t t))) (defmethod reblocks/widget:render ((widget login-widget)) (cond ((and (login widget) (password widget)) (reblocks/html:with-html nil (reblocks-ui/form:with-html-form (:post (lambda (&key &allow-other-keys) (setf (login widget) nil (login widget) nil) (reblocks/widget:update widget))) (:p (format nil "Hello, ~A." (login widget))) (:p (:input :type "submit" :class "button alert" :value "Reset"))))) (t (reblocks-ui/form:with-html-form (:post (lambda ( &key login password &allow-other-keys) (when (string-equal login "bob") (error "Login ~A is already taken." login)) (when (every #'identity (list (login-is-ok login) (password-is-ok password))) (setf (login widget) login (password widget) password) (reblocks/widget:update widget)))) (reblocks-ui/form:form-error-placeholder) (:p (:input :type "text" :name "login" :placeholder "Enter your login, it should start from the letter.") (reblocks-ui/form:error-placeholder "login") (:input :type "password" :name "password" :placeholder "Use chars and numbers") (reblocks-ui/form:error-placeholder "password") (:input :type "submit" :class "button" :value "Login"))))))

API
macro reblocks-ui/form:with-html-form (METHOD-TYPE ACTION &KEY ID CLASS ENCTYPE (USE-AJAX-P T) EXTRA-SUBMIT-CODE REQUIRES-CONFIRMATION-P (CONFIRM-QUESTION "Are you sure?") (SUBMIT-FN *JS-DEFAULT-FORM-ACTION*)) &BODY BODY
Wraps a body with (:form ...) using reblocks/html:with-html.
METHOD-TYPEargument should be a keyword:GETor:POST.ACTIONargument should be a function callback which will be called on form submit. Form fields will be passed as keyword arguments, using their names. To make your code more robust, use&ALLOW-OTHER-KEYSin the lambda list.ID,CLASSandENCTYPEarguments are transformed into appropriate arguments ofHTML<form ...>...</form>node.EXTRA-SUBMIT-CODEargument might contain a list of string with simpleJScode, which will be called on form submit before code provided inSUBMIT-FNargument.- By default, form submission is done using
AJAX. If you want to do old-schoolGETorPOSTrequest, setUSE-AJAX-Pargument toNIL. - If
REQUIRES-CONFIRMATION-Pis true, then user will be asked a question defined byCONFIRM-QUESTIONargument. Zurb Foundation's modal window will be used to show a popup. SeeSubmit Confirmationsection for an example of code.
class reblocks-ui/core:ui-widget (widget)
Use this class as a parent for all widgets, who use UI.
class reblocks-ui/form:error-placeholder (widget)
function reblocks-ui/form:error-placeholder name &key (widget-class 'error-placeholder)
This function creates and renders a widget to show an error message related to some form field.
It should be called inside with-html-form macro.
NAME argument should be a string denoting a form field. Later, you can call field-error function
to signal an error from the action function. You will need to pass the NAME as the first argument
to the field-error function.
function reblocks-ui/form:form-error-placeholder &key (widget-class 'form-error-placeholder)
This function creates and renders a widget to show an error for the whole form.
It should be called inside with-html-form macro.
Later, you can call form-error function to signal an error from the action function.
condition reblocks-ui/form:field-error (form-error)
function reblocks-ui/form:field-error name message
Signals an error which will be shown for the whole form.lisp
You need to use error-placeholder function inside the with-html-form macro
to set a place where an error message should be shown. Otherwise, the error
will be logged and ignored.
If there is no a error-placeholder (1 2) call with corresponding NAME argument,
then error message can be shown for the whole form in a place where
form-error-placeholder function was called.
condition reblocks-ui/form:form-error (error)
function reblocks-ui/form:form-error message
Signals an error which will be shown for the whole form.lisp
You need to use form-error-placeholder function inside the with-html-form macro
to set a place where an error message should be shown. Otherwise, the error
will be logged and ignored.
function reblocks-ui/form:get-field-errors-count
Returns total number of errors, reported by field-error function.
You can use this function and call form-error (1 2) or interrupt action if
the result is not zero.
function reblocks-ui/form:get-field-errors field-name
Returns all errors, reported for the field with name given in FIELD-NAME.
function reblocks-ui/form:render-button NAME &KEY (VALUE (HUMANIZE-NAME NAME)) ID (CLASS "button") (ONCLICK "disableIrrelevantButtons(this);") DISABLEDP
Renders a button in a form.
NAME- name of the html control. The name is attributized before being rendered.VALUE- a value on html control. Humanized name is default.ID- id of the html control. Default is nil.CLASS- a class used for styling. By default, "submit".DISABLEDP- button is disabled if true.
function reblocks-ui/form:render-form-and-button NAME ACTION &KEY (VALUE (HUMANIZE-NAME NAME)) (METHOD :GET) BUTTON-ID (BUTTON-CLASS "button") (USE-AJAX-P T) FORM-ID FORM-CLASS
Renders a button within a form. This function can be used a short cut to quickly render a sumbit button.
function reblocks-ui/form:render-link action label &key (ajaxp t) id class title render-fn
Renders an action into a href link. If AJAXP is true (the
default), the link will be rendered in such a way that the action will
be invoked via AJAX or will fall back to a regular request if
JavaScript is not available. When the user clicks on the link the
action will be called on the server.
ACTION may be a function or a result of a call to reblocks/actions:make-action-url.
ID, CLASS and TITLE represent their HTML counterparts.
RENDER-FN is an optional function of one argument that is reponsible
for rendering the link's content (i.e. its label). The default rendering
function just calls PRINC-TO-STRING on the label and renders it
with escaping. Internally, render-fn should use reblocks:with-html macro
to write output into the right stream.
WARNING! This function generates ... element and any
bot, crawling the internet will hit this action with GET request.
function reblocks-ui/form:render-textarea name &key (label (humanize-name name)) value id class disabledp
Renders a textarea.
NAME- name of the html control. The name is attributized before being rendered.VALUE- a value on html control. Humanized name is default.ID- id of the html control. Default is nil.CLASS- a class used for styling. By default, "submit".DISABLEDP- button is disabled if true.
Untitled
class reblocks-ui/popup:popup-widget (ui-widget)
This widgets shows a popup window.
Inherit from this class and define a method for
render-popup-content generic-function. Then you
will be able to instantiate your class instance
and call show-popup generic function.
generic-function reblocks-ui/popup:show-popup widget
Shows popup window.
generic-function reblocks-ui/popup:hide-popup widget
Hides popup window.
generic-function reblocks-ui/popup:render-popup-content widget
Renders inner HTML for popup window.
You need to define a method for this generic function
and specialize it for your own class.
