Conditional select menus #306

Closed pkalita-lbl closed 2 years ago

pkalita-lbl commented 2 years ago

These changes to script/data-harmonizer/index.js and script/data-harmonizer/field_rules.js provide hooks that allow a client application to customize certain column aspects. The client passes the configuration to a DataHarmonizer instance via a new property called field_settings.

This will be useful to NMDC because it will enable our code which sets up a DataHarmonizer instance to customizer the behavior columns that represent GOLD Ecosystem Classification Levels and let them interact with each other. But I think these hooks are generic enough to be useful to other clients of DataHarmonizer as well.

Fixes #302

@ddooley @turbomam I think this is ready for review now

As mentioned in commit, "Field function hooks are now possible by assigning a dictionary of field names as keys in dh.field_settings{} to an object containing functions such as onChange() which are merged with the template's "field" data structure. Validation rules trigger onChange() etc. functions when value of field changes. onChange() can then trigger effects on other field picklist content etc."
