shouldn't schema default value be created without the need to click on + first?

[Ognian]

My problem is that when I provide a default value for an item in an object this item is not created until explicit creating this object by pressing the + item; When this item is readOnly I do not have the possibility to supply a default value (previously it was possible). From an UI point of view if there is a default value it should be created anyway without the need to press +, but I'm not quite sure ... What do you think?

Until now, when creating a new object i used

jsonary.create({},...

this leads to setting an internal flag of ignoreDefaults to true. If is use

jsonary.create(undefined,...

then i get a + create for the whole object, which works correct. But is there a way to get the whole object created without having to press +create first?

OK found a solution:

           if(!d && schemaUrl ){
                var s=Jsonary.getSchema(schemaUrl,function(s,call){
                    d=s.defaultValue();
                    //console.log("----->"+JSON.stringify(d));
                });

since I'm caching the url's this should be executed synchron...

OK still a problem: s.defaultValue gets the top most default value and doesn't try to generate the default object define by subsequent properties....

Jsonary.create() is not meant for creating data according to particular schemas - it just wraps whatever value you put in.

If you are trying to create data that follows a particular schema (including required properties), then Schema objects (and SchemaLists) have methods for this: createData() and createValue(). They are basically the same, except createData() returns a Jsonary Data object with the schemas already applied, and createValue() returns a raw value.

Synchronous use:

data = schema.createData(); // from scratch
data = schema.createData({someInitial: 'value'}); // using a provided value as a base to work from

Asynchronous use: (fetches referenced schemas via AJAX if needed)

schema.createData(function (data) {
    ...
});
schema.createData({someInitial: 'value'}, function (data) {
    ...
});

Hybrid option: (returns data immediately so can be rendered, but then changes the value and adds schemas later)

var data = schema.createData(initialValue, true);
var data = schema.createData(initialValue, function() {
    // called when data changes value
});

Ok this helped a lot, Thank you
