Topic: Init / update fields

dagaey free asked 11 months ago


I have a form which has many fields and based upon certain logic sometimes shows fields, sometimes hides them and sometimes disables them.

I am currently using the following to initialize the fields:

document.querySelectorAll('.ed-text').forEach((txtf) => {
        new mdb.Input(txtf).init();
    });

    document.querySelectorAll('.ed-date').forEach((dtp) => {
        new mdb.Datepicker(dtp, {
          title: 'Datum auswählen',
          monthsFull: ['Januar', 'Februar', 'März', 'April', 'Mai', 'Juni', 'Juli', 'August', 'September', 'Oktober', 'November', 'Dezember'],
          monthsShort: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mär', 'Apr', 'Mai', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Okt', 'Nov','Dez'],
          weekdaysFull: ['Sonntag', 'Montag', 'Dienstag', 'Mittwoch', 'Donnerstag', 'Freitag', 'Samstag'],
          weekdaysShort: ['Son', 'Mon', 'Die', 'Mit', 'Don', 'Fre', 'Sam'],
          weekdaysNarrow: ['S', 'M', 'D', 'M', 'D', 'F', 'S'],
          okBtnText: 'Ok',
          clearBtnText: 'Klar',
          cancelBtnText: 'Schließen',
        });
    });

    document.querySelectorAll('.ed-select').forEach((slct) => {
        new mdb.Select(slct);
    });

    document.querySelectorAll('.form-outline').forEach((formOutline) => {
        new mdb.Input(formOutline).init();
    });

The problem is that if I run the code again for a new logic, this causes errors as some fields are initialized again. Do I need to destroy existing inputs and if so how? Or is there a way to do "Init or update" for these types of fields (text,select, datepicker) ?

This depends on the input type. For select you need to dispose of it every time you change it and init again with new options.

For Timepicker you have the update method available. For form-outline also you can do:

document.querySelectorAll('.form-outline').forEach((formOutline) => {
        new mdb.Input(formOutline).update();
    });
