Overview

The B25.Form class is the main point of interaction for anything that you want to do on the form. Inside the customize method (defined in the B25.Form.Customizer interface) you can add your own event handlers to the form (or its child elements). Inside the handleEvent method of your own handlers, you can inspect the current form state and update values on it (or its child elements). Use the getter methods to access lower level child elements, such as fields or related lists.

Example 1: Adding a handler

Adding handlers is done inside the customize method of your own implementation of the B25.Form.Customizer interface.

Also see: Quick Start Guide

global with sharing class MyFormCustomizer implements B25.Form.Customizer {
    global void customize(B25.Form form) {
        form.getField(B25__Reservation__c.B25__Status__c).onUpdate(new MyStatusHandler());
    }
}

Example 2: Updating the form

Updating the form is done inside the handleEvent method of your own event handlers.

Also see: B25.FormEventHandler

global with sharing class MyStatusHandler extends B25.FormEventHandler {
    global override void handleEvent(B25.FormEvent event, B25.Form form) {
        form.getField(B25__Reservation__c.B25__Title__c).updateValue('Hello World!');
    }
}

Interfaces

B25.Form.Customizer

The B25.Form.Customizer interface is what you need to implement to attach your own handlers to the form (also see: Quick Start Guide). It only has one method, with the following signature:

void customize(B25.Form form)

Parameters:

Methods

getField

B25.FormField getField(SObjectField fieldToken)

This method will return a Field object for the specified SObjectField. The SObjectField must be an existing reservation field.

Return value:B25.FormField

Parameters:

Example:

B25.FormField titleField = form.getField(B25__Reservation__c.B25__Title__c);

getLookup

B25.Lookup getLookup(SObjectField fieldToken)

Similar to getField, but instead this method will return a Lookup object for the specified SObjectField. The SObjectField must be an existing lookup field on reservation.

Return value:B25.Lookup

Parameters:

Example:

B25.Lookup resourceLookup = form.getLookup(B25__Reservation__c.B25__Resource__c);

getRelatedList

B25.RelatedList getRelatedList(SObjectType sObjectToken)

Returns the related list associated with the passed SObjectType token. The SObjectType must be a child of the form’s SObjectType (which is currently always B25__Reservation__c).

Return value:B25.RelatedList

Parameters:

Example:

B25.RelatedList contactList = form.getRelatedList(B25__ReservationContact__c.SObjectType);

getReservation

B25__Reservation__c getReservation()

Returns the actual reservation record of this form. You can use this method inside your handlers to get more information about the field values of the current reservation record.

Setting values directly on this record has no effect. If you want to update field values, call getField followed by updateValue instead, as illustrated below:

// to update a field inside a handler, instead of doing this:
form.getReservation().B25__Title__c = 'my title';
// you should do this:
form.getField(B25__Reservation__c.B25__Title__c).updateValue('my title');

Return value: B25__Reservation__c

onInit (without parameters)

List<B25.FormEventHandler> onInit()

Returns a reference to the list of handlers that have been defined to trigger when the form is initialized. Because this method returns a reference to the actual list (and not a copy), any changes you make to this list will directly affect the defined handlers.

This method is intended to be used in the customize method defined in your implementation of the B25.Form.Customizable interface. Using it anywhere else, such as inside one of your event handlers, will not have any effect.

Return value: List<B25.FormEventHandler>

onInit (with parameter)

void onInit(B25.FormEventHandler handler)

Adds the given handler to the list of handlers that have been defined to trigger when the form is initialized. This method is a convenience method, and is identical to calling onInit().add(B25.FormEventHandler handler).

Parameters:

addButton

void addButton(B25.FormButton button)

Adds a button to the form. Must be called inside the customize method.

Parameters:

Example:

form.addButton(new B25.FormButton('my-name', 'My Label'));
