The form_checkbox component is Vue.js driven child component of the form component and is used to collect user input.
matestack_form my_form_config do
form_checkbox key: :status, #...
end
Parameters
key - required
Defines the key which should be used when posting the form data to the server.
options
Can either be nil, an Array or Hash:
When not given
matestack_form my_form_config do
form_checkbox key: :status, label: "Active"
end
will render a single checkbox which can switch between true and false as value for the given key. Will be nil initially. The boolean value (or nil) will be sent to the server when submitting the form.
Array usage
matestack_form my_form_config do
form_checkbox key: :status, options: [0, 1]
end
will render a collection of checkboxes and their corresponding labels.
Multiple checkboxes can be selected. Data will be sent as an Array of selected values to the server when submitting the form.
Hash usage
matestack_form my_form_config do
form_checkbox key: :status, options: { 'active': 1, 'deactive': 0 }
end
will render a collection of checkboxes and their corresponding labels.
The hash values will be used as values for the checkboxes, the keys as displayed label values.
Multiple checkboxes can be selected. Data will be sent as an Array of selected values to the server when submitting the form.
ActiveRecord Enum Mapping
If you want to use ActiveRecord enums as options for your radio input, you can use the enum class method:
class Conversation < ActiveRecord::Base
enum status: { active: 0, archived: 1 }
end
matestack_form my_form_config do
form_checkbox key: :status, options: Conversation.statuses
end
Multiple checkboxes can be selected. Data will be sent as an Array of selected values to the server when submitting the form.

label
An applied label is only visible, when using a single checkbox without options.
You can also use the label component in order to create a label for this input.
Custom Checkbox
If you want to create your own radio component, that's easily done since v.1.3.0.
Create your own Ruby component:
app/matestack/components/my_form_checkbox.rb
class Components::MyFormCheckbox < Matestack::Ui::VueJs::Components::Form::Checkbox
vue_name "my-form-checkbox"
# optionally add some data here, which will be accessible within your Vue.js component
# Make sure to merge your custom data into super. That way you're still able to bootstrap
# your custom component with the base vue_props
def vue_props
super.merge({
foo: "bar"
})
end
def response
# exactly one root element is required since this is a Vue.js component template
div class: "your-custom-markup" do
render_options
render_errors
end
end
end
Create the corresponding Vue.js component:
Generic code:
app/matestack/components/my_form_checkbox.js
const myFormCheckbox = {
mixins: [MatestackUiVueJs.componentMixin, MatestackUiVueJs.formCheckboxMixin],
template: MatestackUiVueJs.componentHelpers.inlineTemplate,
data() {
return {};
},
methods: {
afterInitialize: function(value){
// optional: if you need to modify the initial value
// use this.setValue(xyz) in order to change the value
// this method can be used in other methods or mounted hook of this component as well!
this.setValue(xyz)
}
},
mounted: function(){
// use/initialize any third party library here
// you can access the default initial value via this.componentConfig["init_value"]
// if you need to, you can access your own component config data which added
// within the prepare method of the corresponding Ruby class
// this.props["foo"] would be "bar" in this case
}
}
export default myFormCheckbox
// and register in your application js file like:
appInstance.component('my-form-checkbox', myFormCheckbox) // register at appInstance
Don't forget to require and register the custom component JavaScript according to your JS setup!
Finally, use it within a matestack_form:
matestack_form some_form_config do
Components::MyFormCheckbox.call(key: :foo, options: [1,2,3])
end
