AEM 6 SP2 - Touch UI ( Coral UI ) Nested Multifield ( Multi Multifield )

Goal


Create a Touch UI Nested multifield (or Multi multifield). The nested one is configured with two form fields, a Textfield (granite/ui/components/foundation/form/textfield), Pathbrowser  (granite/ui/components/foundation/form/pathbrowser )

Remember, it's always recommended to minimize the  number of UI extensions in projects, given a choice, a better (or simple) design of the dialog i guess would be without a nested multifield

A Composite Touch UI multifield is available here

Nested Multifield





Component Rendering




Solution


1) Login to CRXDE Lite (http://localhost:4502/crx/de) and create a folder (nt:folder) /apps/touch-ui-nested-multi-field-panel

2) Create a component (cq:Component) /apps/touch-ui-nested-multi-field-panel/sample-nested-multi-fieldCheck this post on how to create a CQ component

3) Add the following xml for /apps/touch-ui-nested-multi-field-panel/sample-nested-multi-field/dialog created. Ideally a cq:Dialog should be configured with necessary widgets for displaying dialog in Classic UI. This post is on Touch UI so keep it simple (node required for opening the touch ui dialog created in next step)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="cq:Dialog"
    title="Multi Field"
    xtype="dialog"/>

4) Create a nt:unstructured node /apps/touch-ui-nested-multi-field-panel/sample-nested-multi-field/cq:dialog with following xml (the dialog UI as xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

5) Line 45 in above dialog xml marks this multifield as nested by setting a no value flag eaem-nested

6) Different layouts can be used to structure the multifield, here we use granite/ui/components/foundation/layouts/fixedcolumns layout

7) Create a clientlib (cq:ClientLibraryFolder) /apps/touch-ui-nested-multi-field-panel/clientlib with categories property as String with value cq.authoring.dialog and dependencies as String[] with value underscore

8) Create file (nt:file) /apps/touch-ui-nested-multi-field-panel/clientlib/js.txt with

                nested-multifield.js

9) Create file (nt:file) /apps/touch-ui-nested-multi-field-panel/clientlib/nested-multifield.js with following code

10) The function collectDataFromFields() registers a click listener on dialog submit, to collect the multifield form data, create a json to group it and add in a hidden field before data is POSTed to CRX. The function addDataInFields() reads json data added previously and fills the multifield & nested multifield fields, when dialog is opened. Extension uses simple jquery & underscore js calls to get and set data; based on the widget type more code may be necessary for supporting complex Granite UI widgets (granite/ui/components/foundation/form)

  2. Hi Sreekanth, I am using both nested multifield and composite multifield components and they are behaving very weirdly together. I am getting Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded (too much recursion).

    _addListeners: function () {
    this.superClass._addListeners.call(this);

    The dialogs are storing the values in the node but then at times aren't retrieving the values back when you reopen them. Any suggestions around how to get rid of the problem?

  5. Sreekanth, I was on AEM 6 sp2, but have just upgraded to 6.1. The CUI error was evident in both versions. Yes the clientlib category is cq.authoring.dialog. I was curious if I might be missing a dependency? I note there is a dependency for underscore.

    btw: This is actually the same dialog mentioned by sahil thadhani above. I've inherited this from him.

  6. Hi.
    It's working. but if we add any fields (.ie textfield) right after nest-multifield, then the layout will break. :(
    i.e in your example, I'm adding 1 more textfield right after countries (which is nested one). the layout after countries will be broken.

  13. Hi Sreekanth,

    What are the changes required if I want to have different versions of nested-multifield.js in different components? Since the categories is same i.e. cq.authoring.dialog for all, they override the behavior of each other. To create two different versions, we changed the resourceType in component as "granite/ui/components/foundation/form/newmultifield" and changed the register logic in nested-multifield.js i.e.

    CUI.NewMultifield = new Class({
    toString: "Multifield",
    extend: CUI.Multifield,

    construct: function (options) {
    this.script = this.$element.find(".js-coral-Multifield-input-template:last");
    },

    _addListeners: function () {
    this.superClass._addListeners.call(this);

    //otb coral event handler is added on selector .js-coral-Multifield-add
    //any nested multifield add click events are propagated to the parent multifield
    //to prevent adding a new composite field in both nested multifield and parent multifield
    //when user clicks on add of nested multifield, stop the event propagation to parent multifield
    this.$element.on("click", ".js-coral-Multifield-add", function (e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    });

    this.$element.on("drop", function (e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    });
    }
    });

    CUI.Widget.registry.register("newmultifield", CUI.NewMultifield);
    })();

    Do we need to do something else as well? This doesnt give any js error but doesnt show the multifield as well.

  14. Hi Sreekanth,

    I have modified the script little bit to fix issue "multifield blank entries added when dialog-ready trigger explicitly".
    Changes description:
    a) Remove 'js-coral-Multifield-add' click trigger from fillNestedFields and invoke before checking which field is active.
    if(_.isArray(rValue) && !_.isEmpty(rValue)){
    var $multifield = $($fieldSets[i]).find("[data-init='multifield']"),
    //find active tab rValue after striping ./
    activeKey = $multifield.closest('section[data-eaem-nested]').attr('data-name').substring(2);

    /*Add the multifield only for active tab */
    if(rKey == activeKey){
    $multifield.find(".js-coral-Multifield-add").click();
    }
    fillNestedFields( $multifield, rValue);
    }


    2) Add $(document).trigger('dialog-ready'); (in cq.authoring.dialog scenario have analyzed that dialog-ready is not triggering at first attempt), Hope this will solve Shally problem as well.

  21. @Wayne Pang, @Ishita Gandhi

    Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded?

    You are facing this error because
    1. this.superClass._addListeners.call(this); goes for infinite loop call. The reason is this.superClass never gives Superclass of CUI.Multifield which is in CoralUI js but instead it is giving its same CUI.Multifield which is in custom multifield js.
    2. Not sure what causing this issue. Becuase a fresh installtion of AEM 6.1 is not facing problem mentioned in point 1.
    3. Install a fresh instance, and try applying this custom multifield package.
