Demo Time!
----------
[Try out the example page](http://schemaform.io/examples/bootstrap-example.html). Try editing the schema or form definition and see what comes out!
Hint: By pressing the 'Save to gist' button (top left), you can save your example into a shareable link.
What is it?
----------
Schema Form is a set of AngularJS directives (and a couple of services). It can do two things to
make life easier:
1. Create a form directly from a JSON schema.
2. Validate form fields against that same JSON schema.
Schema Form uses convention over configuration, so it comes packaged with some sensible defaults.
But you can always customize it by changing the order and types of form fields.
#### JSON Form
Schema Form is inspired by the nice [JSON Form](https://github.com/joshfire/jsonform) library and
aims to be roughly compatible with it, especially its form definition. So what sets Schema Form
apart from JSON Form?
1. Schema Form integrates deeply with AngularJS and uses AngularJS conventions to handle forms.
2. Schema Form uses [tv4](https://github.com/geraintluff/tv4) for validation, making it compatible
with version 4 of the JSON schema standard.
3. By default, Schema Form generates Bootstrap 3-friendly HTML.
Documentation
-------------
You can find [all documentation here](docs/index.md), it covers all the different field types
and their options.
It also covers how to [extend angular schema form with your own field types](https://github.com/Textalk/angular-schema-form/blob/master/docs/extending.md).
Basic Usage
-----------
First, expose your schema, form, and model to the $scope.
```javascript
angular.module('myModule', ['schemaForm'])
.controller('FormController', function($scope) {
$scope.schema = {
type: "object",
properties: {
name: { type: "string", minLength: 2, title: "Name", description: "Name or alias" },
title: {
type: "string",
enum: ['dr','jr','sir','mrs','mr','NaN','dj']
}
}
};
$scope.form = [
"*",
{
type: "submit",
title: "Save"
}
];
$scope.model = {};
});
```
Then load them into Schema Form using the `sfSchema`, `sfForm`, and `sfModel` directives.
```html
```
Installation
------------
### Bower
It's simplest to install Schema Form using [Bower](http://bower.io/).
```bash
bower install angular-schema-form
```
This will install the latest release and basic dependencies. See
[dependecies section below](#dependencies).
You can also load the files via [cdnjs.com](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/angular-schema-form).
### Manual
You can also just download the contents of the `dist/` folder and add dependencies manually.
### Dependencies
Schema form has a lot of dependencies, most of which are optional. Schema Form depends on:
1. [AngularJS](https://angularjs.org/) version 1.3.x is recomended. Version 1.2.x
has some limitation. See [known limitations](docs/knownlimitations.md).
2. [angular-sanitize](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngSanitize)
3. [tv4](https://github.com/geraintluff/tv4)
4. [objectpath](https://github.com/mike-marcacci/objectpath)
5. [bootstrap 3](http://getbootstrap.com/)
If you install via bower you get all of the above except bootstrap since we
don't want to push a certain version or flavor on you. Also make
sure you got the angular version you actually want.
#### Additional dependecies
1. If you'd like to use drag-and-drop reordering of arrays, you'll also need [ui-sortable](https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-sortable) and its [jQueryUI](http://jqueryui.com/) dependencies. See the *ui-sortable* documentation for details about which parts of jQueryUI are needed. You can safely ignore these if you don't need reordering.
2. Schema Form provides tabbed arrays through the form type `tabarray`. Tab arrays default to tabs on the left side. For these to work, you'll need to include the CSS from [bootstrap-vertical-tabs](https://github.com/dbtek/bootstrap-vertical-tabs). However, you won't need Bootstrap Vertical Tabs for horizontal tabs (the `tabType: "top"` option).
The minified files include templates - no need to load additional HTML files.
### Script Loading
Schema form is split into two main files, `dist/schema-form.min.js` and
`dist/boostrap-decorator.min.js` and they need be loaded in that order. AngularJS,
[tv4](https://github.com/geraintluff/tv4) and [objectpath](https://github.com/mike-marcacci/objectpath)
also needs to be loaded *before* Schema Form.
```html
```
### Module loading
Don't forget to load the `schemaForm` module or nothing will happen.
```javascript
angular.module('myModule', ['schemaForm']);
```
Add-ons

Contributions are welcome! Please see [Contributing.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more info.
Building
--------
The files in the `dist/` folder, plus dependencies, are all you need to use Schema Form. But if
you'd like to build it yourself, we use [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/).
First off, you need to have nodejs installed. Then install all dev dependencies of the
project with npm, install gulp and run the default task.
```bash
$ npm install
$ sudo npm install -g gulp
$ bower install
$ gulp
```
The default task uses
[gulp-angular-templatecache](https://github.com/miickel/gulp-angular-templatecache) to compile all
html templates to js and then concatenates and minifies them with the rest of the sources.
You can also run `gulp watch` to have it rebuild on change.
Tests
-----
Unit tests are run with [karma](http://karma-runner.github.io) and written using
[mocha](http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/), [chai](http://chaijs.com/) and
[sinon](http://sinonjs.org/)
To run the tests:
1. Install all dependencies via NPM.
2. Install dev dependencies with bower.
3. Install the Karma CLI.
4. Run the tests.
```bash
$ npm install
$ bower install
$ sudo npm install -g karma-cli
$ karma start karma.conf.js
```
