I'm trying to add input-types (templates) at run-time

[iJungleboy]

I'm doing this because when the first scripts load, it's not clear yet which fields will be needed. That is only discovered once the first JSONs arrive containing the content-type-definition and the fields-list. Then I want to load the custom UIs (some are heavy, like WYSIWYGs or Google-map-pickers).

Basically I just load more scripts containing more definitions like:

angular.module("eavFieldTemplates")
    .config(function(formlyConfigProvider, defaultFieldWrappers) {

        formlyConfigProvider.setType({
            name: "custom-gps",
            templateUrl: "fields/custom-gps/custom-gps.html",
            wrapper: defaultFieldWrappers,
            controller: "FieldTemplate-CustomGpsController"
        });
    })
    .controller("FieldTemplate-CustomGpsController", function ($scope, $filter, $modal, appId, debugState, eavAdminDialogs) {

    });

but so far have not been successful. I assume formly doesn't re-init the possible templates-list or something - or most likely I just didn't find the right documentation. What do you think?

Thanks a bunch - especially for the entire formly - you rock :)!

This should totally work. Could you follow the instructions here to give a reproducible example? http://help.angular-formly.com

Hi @iJungleboy, this is totally possible with angular-formly, so I'm going to assume that you just need help getting things set up. Because of this, please follow the instructions at http://help.angular-formly.com and I'll go ahead and close this issue (github issues on this repo are reserved for bug reports and feature requests). See you on chat!

ok, thanks!

@kentcdodds thanks, I got it to work. Core problem was late dependency injection, which I could solve using ocLazyLoad.
