Usage

Example

• Import DynamicForms

• Declare your dynamic form model

  DynamicForm {
    DynamicStack(.vertical) {
      DynamicText("Title").bold()
      DynamicText("Description")
      DynamicStack(.horizontal) {
        DynamicText("State: ")
        DynamicText("Initial")
      }
      DynamicStack(.horizontal) {
        DynamicButton(
          DynamicText("OK"),
          action: "content.ok"
        )
        DynamicButton(
          DynamicText("Cancel"),
          action: "content.cancel"
        )
      }
    }
  }

  Equivalent for

  VStack {
    Text("Title").bold()
    Text("Description")
    HStack {
      Text("State: ")
      Text("Initial")
    }
    HStack {
      Button { 
        DynamicFormClient.shared.send("content.id")
      } label: {
        Text("OK")
      }
      Button { 
        DynamicFormClient.shared.send("content.cancel")
      } label: {
        Text("Cancel")
      }
    }
  }

• Specify body for your dynamic-form-based view using DynamicFormView

  DynamicFormView($form)

• Handle button actions

  // Returns AnyPublisher<Event, Never> where Event is
  // Event {
  //   id: DynamicElementIdentifier
  //   action: DynamicElementActionIdentifier
  // }
  DynamicFormClient.shared.publisher
  
  // Filters events and returns AnyPublisher<Void, Never>
  DynamicFormClient.shared.publisher(
    for: .init(id: "element", action: "tap")
  )
  
  // Filters events by actionID and returns AnyPublisher<Void, Never>
  DynamicFormClient.shared.publisher(
    for: "actionID"
  )
