Dynamic dropdown from within form or from an external source

mrehder commented 3 years ago

Prerequisites

[ x] I have read the documentation;
[x ] In the case of a bug report, I understand that providing a SSCCE example is tremendously useful to the maintainers.

Description

A widget for a dynamic dropdown list - dynamic set of enums - from within the form data or from an external lookup would be vey useful for tying together difference datasets across forms.

The typeahead components from the Extras project is good for large lists and for where you have some idea of the content syntax. However this isn't a great UI for simple lists or for where the syntax of the values is unfamiliar to the user or for where seeing the complete set of options is useful.

Steps to Reproduce

Expected behavior

ui:field: dynamicPicklist dynamicPicklist: { formDataList: }

or

ui:field: dynamicPicklist dynamicPicklist: { url: search:

}

Actual behavior

Further... For an internal lookup into the form data, there would be a path provided to the JSON data which holds a set of enum values. The path would ideally be a form of pointer which has relative reference values, which JSONata has (and JSON path doesn't). For example: ui:field: localDataPicklist { source: } where is something like JSONata syntax PostalInfo.Places.name PostalInfo.Places[type='Country'].name %.%.ISOCodes[countryName='Norway'].code (for the field PostalInfo.Places.ISOCode)

Options for excluding values, filtering values etc. could be added in the widget declaration.

Yes, that would meet the requirements. Too bad there isn't effort to consolidate these contributed widgets (like those from the "extras" project).
