Topic: mdb-input init value

Petr Urban priority asked 6 years ago

Hi,

how is it possible to bind value to 'mdb-input' component? I have some kind of input form and I would like to fill 'mdb-input' with fetched default values from REST API.

In case when I use this syntax, it works fine:

<div class="md-form">
    <input type="text"
           size="sm"
           id="dbServer"
           class="form-control"
           placeholder="Enter server name..."
           v-model="dbServer"
           :state="Boolean(dbServer)">
</div>

but for this, it is not working and it shows only the default value assigned in the data field definition:

<mdb-input type="text" @input="handleDbServer" v-bind:value="dbServer" id="dbServerInput" label="Database server" size="sm" />

I would like to use the 'mdb-input' component...any tip or help, please?

Thanks

Since the next release You'll be able to use v-model also instead of @input event.

Here's the example:

<mdb-input type="text" label="Basic example" v-model="test" />

data() {
 return {
  test: 'Test'
 };
},
watch: {
 test() {
  console.log(this.test);
 }
}


Best Regards

what is the release date for next version, please?

Mikołaj Smoleński staff commented 6 years ago

The next release date is 20.12.

I am pretty sure it will solve Your problems with importing data from API and then working with our inputs and selects.

Best Regards

Also if You want to make it works now, i think the following code should help:

<mdb-input type="text" label="Basic example" :value="test" @input="handleInput"/>
(...)
data() {
 return {
  test:"Test value"
 };
}
Best regards

Thanks you, but this din't help.

There is still the "Test value" value in the field, even if I change the 'test' variable value by loading data from REST API.

Mikołaj Smoleński staff commented 5 years ago

Hi there again,

Are You sure You're updating test variable correctly? I am testing Your issue and it seems to work ok. There was a problem that te value wasn't emited after update, but it will be fixed in the thursday version.

Also if You're downloading mdbvue as a dependency from our GitLab, You can test mdb-input by changing branch into 'dev' (just add '#dev' to the link).

Best Regards

Hi Mikolaj,

thanks for response. When I try to use the 'dev' branch the value gets updated correctly. Thank you ;)

Mikołaj Smoleński staff commented 5 years ago

I'm happy to hear it.

I'm closing the issue. Please remember to switch branches after the thursday relase (just remove '#dev' from the link). 

Best Regards

Hi there,

Currently You're able to set input's value by adding attribute 'value' to it. Also You can get dynamically changed value using '@input' event. Here's the example code:

<mdb-input type="text" label="Basic example" value="Example value" @input="handleInput"/>

...
methods: {
 handleInput (val) {
  console.log(val);
 }
}
 
Is this enough for Your needs?
 
Best Regards

when I use your approach: 

value="Example value" it needs to be hardcoded initial value, but I need to assign the value of the variable which is loaded from REST API.

Second use case is when user select some value by mdb-select dropdown, I want to show in the mdb-input value which is based on value in mdb-select.

This is not working for me with mdb-input field.
