com.fulcrologic.fulcro.algorithms.form-state
Functions that assist with supporting form editing/checking/diffing in Fulcro UI. These functions work
by making a pristine copy of your entity, and tracking what fields have been touched. You are responsible
for triggering these various states by marking fields as complete (mark-complete!), telling it to
copy the data to/from pristine (e.g. entity->pristine), and by asking for out-of-date data for the current
vs. pristine copy (dirty-fields).
There is also support for detecting which fields have been marked complete and are dirty.
Validation can be done via Clojure spec (not recommended), or by defining your own field validation functions via
make-validator (recommended). This general-purpose validation factory function can easily be used to create more
automated validation factories that can be more configuration-driven, but this is left as an exercise for the community.
Specs are not recommended because forms commonly have multi-field dependencies that simply are not well-supported, and sometimes the use of things like Fulcro tempids leads to specs that you'd rather not have on your server. Use of spec really boils down to your intention for those spec (i.e. hard validation of final database value vs. potential runtime look of the data as it is manipulated). Specs that include "state" information will cause you more pain than you want, though you can certainly leverage specs anywhere it makes sense using the validator factory.
IMPORTANT: This namespace is about (possibly recursive) form data management. Rendering and such are not part of the stated intention. See Fulcro RAD for more fully-automated, multi-platform form generation.
See the Developer's Guide for more information.

add-form-configclj/s
(add-form-config class entity)Add form configuration data to a denormalized entity (e.g. pre-merge). This is useful in
initial state or when using merge-component!. This function will not touch an entity
that already has form config but will recurse the entire form set. It can therefore be
invoked on the top-level of the form set when adding, for example, an instance of a sub-form.
class - The component class. entity - A denormalized (tree) of data that matches the given component class.
Returns the (possibly updated) denormalized entity, ready to merge.

completed-form-propsclj/s
(completed-form-props state-map form-class form-ident)Calculates and returns the (ui) props of the given form-class based upon marking the form in the given state-map complete, and then using the query of the form-class to pull the props.

dirty-fieldsclj/s
(dirty-fields ui-entity as-delta?)(dirty-fields ui-entity as-delta? {:keys [new-entity?] :as opts})Obtains all of the dirty fields for the given (denormalized) ui-entity, recursively. This works against UI props because submission mutations should close over the data as parameters to a mutation. In other words, your form submission to a server should be triggered from UI with the output of this function as parameters:
(dom/input { :onClick #(comp/transact! this `[(some-submit-function {:diff ~(f/dirty-fields props true)})]) })
ui-entity- The entity (denormalized) from the UI.as-delta?- If false, each field's reported (new) value will just be the new value. When true, each value will be a map with :before and :after keys with the old and new values (useful for optimistic transaction semantics).
Returns a map keyed by form ID (for each form/subform) whose values are maps of key/value pairs of changes. Fields from entities that have a temporary IDs will always be included.
In other words, a change that happened for an entity with ident entity-ident on field :field:
With as-delta? true:
{entity-ident {:field {:before 1 :after 2}}}
with as-delta? false:
{entity-ident {:field 2}}
If ui-entity has tempid in ident or has :new-entity? true in opts map, then all fields for that form will be
included in result regardless of pristine state.

- `ui-entity` - The entity (denormalized) from the UI.
- `as-delta?` - If false, each field's reported (new) value will just be the new value. When true, each value will be a map with :before and :after keys
with the old and new values (useful for optimistic transaction semantics).
Returns a map keyed by form ID (for each form/subform) whose values are maps of key/value pairs of
changes. Fields from entities that have a temporary IDs will always be included.
In other words, a change that happened for an entity with ident `entity-ident` on field `:field`:
With `as-delta?` true:
```
{entity-ident {:field {:before 1 :after 2}}}
```
with `as-delta?` false:
```
{entity-ident {:field 2}}
```
If ui-entity has tempid in ident or has `:new-entity? true` in opts map, then all fields for that form will be
included in result regardless of pristine state.
dirty?clj/s
(dirty? ui-entity-props)(dirty? ui-entity-props field)Returns true if the given ui-entity-props that are configured as a form differ from the pristine version. Recursively follows subforms if given no field. Returns true if anything doesn't match up.
If given a field, it only checks that field.

entity->pristine*clj/s
(entity->pristine* state-map entity-ident)Overwrite the pristine state (form state's copy) of the entity. This is meant to be used from a mutation to update the form state tracking recursively to make the form as 'unmodified'. That is to say, as if you committed the values to the server, and the current entity state is now the pristine state.
This function does no sanity checks, so you should ensure the entity is valid!
Recursively updates all sub forms.
Returns the updated state-map (database).

Returns the form database table ID for the given entity ident.

make-validatorclj/s
(make-validator field-valid?)Create a form/field validation function using a supplied field checker. The field checker will be given then entire form (denormalized) and a single field key that is to be checked. It must return a boolean indicating if that given field is valid.
During a recursive check for a form, the validation function will be in the correct context (e.g. the form supplied will contain the field. There is no need to search for it in subforms).
make-validator returns a dual arity function:
(fn [form] ...)- Calling this version will return :unchecked, :valid, or :invalid for the entire form.(fn [form field] ...)- Calling this version will return :unchecked, :valid, or :invalid for the single field.
Typical usage would be to show messages around the form fields:
(def field-valid? [form field] true) ; just say everything is valid
(def my-validator (make-validator field-valid?))
(defn valid? [form field]
(= :valid (my-validator form field)))
(defn checked? [form field]
(not= :unchecked (my-validator form field)))
