Changing data in javascript

[wlambrechts2]

Hi,

Just started with Alpaca. Seems great but I can't seem to manage to change the data in Jquery. I only succeed in assigning a variable to the data and then change the value of the data variable and destroy and recreating the Alpaca form (which causes flickering).

I found the answer to this question: https://github.com/gitana/alpaca/issues/508 but the answer does not seem to work. It just does nothing.

Thanks

Here is a snippet of my code.

functions is for editing models, but you can see the code to set the data $("#{{$id}}").alpaca().setValue(data);

setValue is what your looking for.

   jQuery.fn.extend({
        editModel: function (id) {
          $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "{{ $dataRoute }}/" + id,
            success: function(data) {
              lastAlpacaJson = data;
              lastAlpacaModelID = id;
              $("#{{$id}}").alpaca().setValue(data);
              $("#{{$id}}-modal").modal('show');  
            },
            error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
              swal('Error', XMLHttpRequest.responseJSON.message ,'error');
            },
          });
        }
    });

let me know if you need anymore help.

I made some jquery to be able to load more remote data, and postRender functions.
