Wishlist: setAttribute for every Inputfield

[thomas]

I am building an angular app with Processwire and in order for the forms to work I need 'ng-model="<?=$field->name;?>"' added to every Inpufield. Now this doesn't work all the time. I am macgyvering my way through the Hooks now to add the attribute to radios and selects but it would be nice to have it for every Inputfield.

Thanks,

thomas

The form api of processwire isn't meant to be used in the frontend, therefore I doubt there being any updates like that. But you can add that functionality on your own.

$wire->addHookBefore("Inputfield::render", function(HookEvent $event){
  $inputfield = $event->object;
  $inputfield->attr("ng-model", $inputfield->name);
});

This is pure genius. Thanks!

This seems to work on all inputfields for me:

$this->addHookBefore('Inputfield::render', function($event) {
   $field = $event->object;
   $field->setAttribute('ng-model', $field->name);
});

Is there a way to set the attributes of Checkbox Options?

Thanks,

So true! He's possibly a before hook on topic::render

If so I'd post even before the starting post, which is not the case. q.e.d.

Room for improvement?
