Field arrays
Felte supports creating fields from arrays by adding an index to its name. There's a few things to consider when working with field arrays:
- A field's name that belongs to an array must refer to an object, for example:
"interests.0.value"
. This is how Felte differentiates between field arrays and multiple checkboxes. - When setting initial values, Felte will only consider arrays of objects as arrays of fields. Empty arrays will be treated as a checkbox field without any value initially selected. It's better to not set an initial value for field arrays if no field should be initially rendered.
- Felte does not keep the same objects on update, so
Index
should be used instead ofFor
.
createForm
also returns some helpers to manage field arrays:
addField
to add a field at a specific index, or at the end if no index is provided.unsetField
to remove a field completely from your stores.swapFields
to swap the position of two fields.moveField
to move a field from one position to another.
TODO: A proper API to handle field arrays is still being developed.
