My current code uses version 1.33.0. I have a strategy for select fields where I stored a options mapping function for select fields to be able to pull option data for selects inputs from a data provider object (returned from an api). I then created a new "ObserverSelectField" that extends from Field which added a "getOptions" method which pulled in the correct data for that particular field's key. This worked perfectly for my needs.
Updating to 3.1.0 I noticed my mapping function would get stripped off the "extra" field object. I believe this happens because of toJS called on this.$extra in src/Field.js
@computed get extra() {
return toJS(this.$extra);
}
In mobx, if an object has a method that is not marked observable, and toJS is called on it, it strips the method.
My current code where "mapOptions" is preserved is simply
const extra = {
vendorId: {
optionsKey: "vendors",
mapOptions: x => ({ label: x.name, value: x.id })
}
}
But after upgrading this library, I now I have to make the "extra" props observable to preserve the method.
While it doesn't seem bad in the example, I have large form schemas with many extra fields like this. Maybe the mobx-react-form library has to be like this now, but I was just wondering if this was an oversight.
I guess my question is why would the "extra" prop on a field ever be an observable to begin with? Doesn't seem like one would ever need reactivity on his property.
