# SharePoint React Form Generator with UI Fabric React Components

<b>All of you are very welcome to contribute with this project!</b>
Also my other project formgen-react. This project is only the injection for SharePoint
for the formgen-react project. See <a href="https://github.com/hilkenan/formgen-react/wiki">formgen-react documentation<a>.

- Dependency Injection for SharePoint List loading for the controls:
    - DropDonw
    - Combobox
    - Choice Group
    - Cascading Dropdonw (over multiple lists)
- Load translated list content from sharepoint

## Installation

## Configuration

The example below shows how to use the form generator with a simple json definition. This JSON need to map to the JSON schema:
```ts
import * as React from 'react';
import Form from 'formgen-react';
var jsonForm = require('./test.json');

export class Example extends React.Component {
render() {
  return (
  <SPForm 
    useLocalHost={ false }
    onCancelForm={ () => console.log("cancel click") }
    onSubmitForm={ (formData:any) => console.log("submit click: " + JSON.stringify(formData)) }
    jsonFormData={ jsonForm }  />
);
}
```
The above ./test.json file could look like this:
```JSON
{
     "$schema": "../schemas/jfrom-schema.json",
     "id": "testform",
     "theme": "red",
     "title": "Test EN",
     "title_trans": {
         "de": "Test DE",
         "fr": "Test FR",
         "it": "Test IT"
    },
	"sp_config": {
		"lists": [{
			"key": "configKeyList",
			"config": {
				"view_name": "All Elementes",
				"key_field": "ID",
				"list_name": "yoursharepointlist",
				"display_fields": [{
					"internal_name": "Title"
				}]
			}
        }]
    },
    "rows": [{
        "columns": [{
			"controls": [{
                "id": "choiceGroup",
				"title": "ChoiceGroup",
				"dataProviderConfigKeys": [ "configKeyList" ],
                "control_type": [ "ChoiceGroup" ],
                "label_position": [ "Top"]
            }]
        }]
    }]
 }
```
The JSON has to fit the Schema Definition:<br/>
[Form Schema](src/schemas/sp-jfrom-schema.json)<br/>
[SharePoint Config](src/schemas/sp-databinder-config-schema.json)<br/>
You need also the following global Schemas:<br/>
[Translation](src/schemas/translation-schema.json)<br/>
[Object Translation](src/schemas/objecttranslation-schema.json)<br/><br/>

## Local Development

The `master` branch contains the latest version of the Form component.
To start your example app, use the following steps:
1. npm run proxy
2. Enter your SharePoint Environment url with credentials
3. Ctrl Brack to stop the server
4. npm run serve

We use <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/sp-rest-proxy">sp-rest-proxy</a> as server to route the calls to an sharePoint applicaiton. For more info see this module. With "npm run serve" you start this proxy AND a simple webserver on http://localhost:3000. The proxy for your SharePoint runs at http://localhost:4323. 

Remark, that the used SharePoint Poeple Picker nor correctly runs with the proxy server. It shows the control but no users are found.

## Publishing to SharePoint

When you publish the solution to sharepoint you has to set the property useLocalHost from the SPForm to false:
```ts
  <SPForm 
    useLocalHost={ false } />
```
otherwise it will still search sharepoint at your localhost proxy.
