How can I retrieve values entered into form to store in core data

[James]

Hi Gurus,

Here is my source 

 

 

import UIKit


class NewUserInfoFormController: TKDataFormViewController {

    let dataSource = TKDataFormEntityDataSource()
    let physicianInfo = UserInfoModel()

    let btn = UIButton()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

        self.dataForm.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0.937, green: 0.937, blue: 0.960, alpha: 1.0)
        dataSource.sourceObject = physicianInfo


        dataSource["name"].hintText = "Please Enter Full Name"
        dataSource["street"].hintText = "Street"
        dataSource["city"].hintText = "City"
        dataSource["state"].valuesProvider = GeoStates.state
        //dataSource["state"].editorClass = TKDataFormOptionsEditor.self
        dataSource["zip"].hintText = "Zip"
        dataSource["phone"].hintText = "Phone"
        dataSource["phone"].editorClass = TKDataFormPhoneEditor.self
        dataSource["email"].hintText = "Email"
        dataSource["email"].editorClass = TKDataFormEmailEditor.self

        self.dataForm.dataSource = dataSource
        self.dataForm.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.view.bounds.size.width, height: self.view.bounds.size.height - 66)
        self.dataForm.tintColor = UIColor(red: 0.780, green: 0.2, blue: 0.223, alpha: 1.0)

        btn.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.dataForm.frame.size.height, width: self.view.bounds.size.width, height: 66)
        btn.setTitle("Cancel reservation", for: UIControlState())
        btn.setTitleColor(UIColor(red: 0.780, green: 0.2, blue: 0.223, alpha: 1.0), for: UIControlState())
        btn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(NewPhysicianFormController.processSubmit), for: .touchUpInside)
        self.view.addSubview(btn)


    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }


    override func dataForm(_ dataForm: TKDataForm, didCommit property: TKEntityProperty) {
        if (property.name == "state'")
        {

        }

    }

    override func dataForm(_ dataForm: TKDataForm, update editor: TKDataFormEditor, for property: TKEntityProperty) {
        //let feedbackDef = editor.gridLayout.definitionForView(editor.feedbackLabel)
        //editor.gridLayout.setHeight(0, forRow: feedbackDef.row.integerValue)

        if property.name == "state" {

        }



        if editor.isKind(of: TKDataFormTextFieldEditor.self) && property.name != "password" {
            property.hintText = "Required"
        }
    }


    func processSubmit() {
        let alert = TKAlert()

        alert.style.cornerRadius = 3;
        alert.title = "Cancel Reservation";
        alert.message = "Reservation Canceled!";


        alert.addAction(withTitle: "OK") { (alert: TKAlert, action: TKAlertAction) -> Bool in

            return true
        }

        alert.show(true)
    }
}

 

How can I get the data stored in various fields in my processSubmit function. I want to be able to store those values in Core Data.

Thanks for your help

Nevermind. Here is the answer.

 

let nameEditor = self.dataSource["name"]
        let name = nameEditor?.valueCandidate as! String

 

Can this be added to the documentation as I imagine this would be a common scenario.

Hi, James,

Thank you for the feedback, it is valuable for us. I am logging this and we will update our documentation.
