Enums are not initialized with - selected="selected"

[morten-hogseth]

Looking at the documentation on the "Enum" section. I am unable to get this to work using the same "Enum Example" class.

Other parts works as expected, and both the C# part and front-end stuff are embedded into the project. I am referencing all the required assets in the .cshtml file.

This is something that should be set by the form renderer right? @FF.PropertiesFor(Model).Render(Html)

And not by any js script.

Any suggestions to what might cause this behaviour?

I take it the model has the property set to an enumeration value?

Are you on Asp.net MVC classic or dot net core?

Do the example projects work on your machine?

Yes

ASP.NET Core

I will download the test projects and see if those work.

[morten-hogseth]

I downloaded the source, my observations are:

AspMvc.Example => Enums are initially set AspNetCore.Example => Enums are NOT initially set

Could you investigate what is necessary to make this work on AspNetCore?

Looks like a similar issue to the one fixed in https://github.com/mcintyre321/FormFactory/pull/64

I think FormFactory/Views/Shared/FormFactory/Property.System.Enum.cshtml needs to be changed from

@using FormFactory.AspMvc
@using FormFactory
@model PropertyVm
@{
    var choices = (IEnumerable<Tuple<string, object>>)Model.Choices ?? Model.Type.GetChoicesForEnumType();
}
@if (Model.Readonly)
{
    <input type="text"  class="form-control" name="@Model.Name" @Html.Raw(Model.Readonly()) @Html.Raw(Model.Disabled()) value="@Model.Value" />
}
else
{
    <select class="form-control" name="@Model.Name" @Html.Raw(Model.Readonly()) @Html.Raw(Model.Disabled())>
        @if (Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(Model.Type) != null)
        {
            <option value="" @Html.Raw((Model.Value == null).Attr("selected"))></option>
        }
        @foreach (var choice in choices)
        {
            var selected = (Model.Value != null && Model.Value.ToString() == choice.Item2.ToString());
            <option value="@choice.Item2" @Html.Raw(selected.Attr("selected"))>@choice.Item1</option>
        }
    </select>
}

to

@using FormFactory.AspMvc
@using FormFactory
@model PropertyVm
@{
    var choices = (IEnumerable<Tuple<string, object>>)Model.Choices ?? Model.Type.GetChoicesForEnumType();
}
@if (Model.Readonly)
{
    <input type="text"  class="form-control" name="@Model.Name" @Html.Raw(Model.Readonly()) @Html.Raw(Model.Disabled()) value="@Model.Value" />
}
else
{
    <select class="form-control" name="@Model.Name" @Html.Raw(Model.Readonly()) @Html.Raw(Model.Disabled())>
        @if (Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(Model.Type) != null)
        {
             var selected = Model.Value == null;
            <option value="" selected="@selected"></option>
        }
        @foreach (var choice in choices)
        {
            var selected = (Model.Value != null && Model.Value.ToString() == choice.Item2.ToString());
            <option value="@choice.Item2" selected="@selected">@choice.Item1</option>
        }
    </select>
}

Would you be able to try those changes out, and see if they still work in both Example projects, and send me a Pull Request?

Sorry, I don't have much time for working on this.

Sure thing. Thanks
