Does this support $ref?

[dkengaroo]

Hiya,

I have a schema with
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"title": "title",
"type": "object",
"item": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"attribute": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/schema2"
}
},
"required": [
"attribute_info"
]
}
....
something like that.

I kept the form simple with the "*" and a submit button. However the form doesn't render properly where the $ref is.

am I doing something wrong?

[fiddur]

No. References are planned to be implemented, but it isn't yet.

[dkengaroo]

Cool! Great to know :) 👍

[dkengaroo]

Would you happen to know when the implementation is planned to happen?

[fiddur]

Hard to say right now. We might need it in the project we're working on at Textalk, in that case it will be implemented before november. Otherwise it is more uncertain.

If someone else wants to have a go at it, go ahead :) I guess it would be best to follow the reference while recursing into that level when expanding the form, keeping in mind that references could be cyclic. Probably finding a good JSON-Pointer parser...

[dkengaroo]

darn.
I hope that the project will need it :)

I tried the generator with a schema that has a nested object.
didn't work either :[ I'm guessing this only works with flattened schemas?

@dkengaroo do you mean something like this? (That works fine for me)

The Schema:

{
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
    "type": "object",
    "required": ["name"],
    "properties": {
        "name": {
            "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
            "title": "Person Name",
            "description": "A person's name",
            "type": "object",
            "required": ["familyName", "givenName"],
            "properties": {
                "familyName": {
                    "type": "string", "maxLength": 30, "minLength": 1,
                    "title": "Surname"
                },
                "givenName": {
                    "type": "string", "maxLength": 20, "minLength": 1,
                    "title": "First Name"
                },
                "middleName": {
                    "type": "string", "maxLength": 20, "minLength": 1,
                    "title": "Middle Name"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hiya,

the code you provided works for me too!
However, when I do this:

 "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
    "type": "object",
    "required": ["name"],
    "properties": {
        "name": {
            "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
            "title": "Person Name",
            "description": "A person's name",
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "groups":{
                    "type": "object",
                    "required": ["familyName", "givenName"],
                    "properties": {
                        "familyName": {
                            "type": "string", "maxLength": 30, "minLength": 1,
                            "title": "Surname"
                        },
                        "givenName": {
                            "type": "string", "maxLength": 20, "minLength": 1,
                            "title": "First Name"
                        },
                        "middleName": {
                            "type": "string", "maxLength": 20, "minLength": 1,
                            "title": "Middle Name"
                        }

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

It works as well. However the word "groups" only shows up as "g" in the form

Does it have issues because of something when it is traversing?

[torstenrudolf]

When I put your example in http://textalk.github.io/angular-schema-form/examples/bootstrap-example.html it works just fine, doesn't it?
Are you using the most recent release v0.7.2? I think there was a problem with default title #67

[dkengaroo]

Hey!
it works when I get v0.7.2! :)
should have done an update earlier...

[eskatos]

$ref support would be a real 👍

[dkengaroo]

whoa! Nice!
👍

pretty spiffy :)

Could this issue be re-opened, and re-labeled as an enhancement / improvement request? If the maintainers would be receptive to including it, we may be willing to code the improvement and/or have it done.
