Make own forms and save to the database

pa1776 · December 28, 2017, 10:33am

Hello,
I did the pasteries permission example and created my own small table in the database. I can view the database and also the permissions work.

Now I want to make a form to create new entries for the table or update an entry. Where I can find an tutorial for this? I tried the “Extend the user model” but I could figured it out.

Best regards

It’s a bit in-depth, and actually there is an open issue requesting that we create a recipe for this: https://github.com/userfrosting/learn/issues/37

Basically, you’ll need to:

Create a template for the form
Create a template for the modal (basically just a wrapper for the form)
Set up a page JS file that uses ufModal and ufForm to set up the modal and form bindings (see https://github.com/userfrosting/UserFrosting/blob/master/app/sprinkles/admin/assets/userfrosting/js/widgets/groups.js for an example)
Set up controller methods to retrieve the modal forms
Set up controller methods to process the create and update actions.

I’ll try to put together a recipe for this, as it is rather complicated, but please join us in chat if you get stuck anywhere.

I am also having difficulties trying to create a new form. A recipe would be very helpful and appreciated!
