Usage

Use afModal template to create a link that will trigger the modal. The required attributes of this template are collection & operation.

Collection should be the name of the global collection object e.g. Posts.

Operation can be insert,update or remove.

If operation="update or operation="remove" you also need to set the doc property to the _id of the document.

Customisation

It is possible to customise the modals by adding additional attributes to the afModal template.

• title will be the title of the modal (default to html of the button clicked)
• buttonContent is the html content of the modals' button (default to html of the button clicked)
• buttonClasses allows you to add different classes to the submit button. See the autoform docs.
• closeButtonContent is the html content of the modals' close button (not visible by default). Please note currently this feature is available on operation="remove" dialogs only.
• closeButtonClasses allows you to add different classes to the close button.
• fields is a comma separated list of the only fields that should be in the form. See the autoform docs.
• omitFields is a comma separated list of fields to omit. See the autoform docs.
• prompt a paragraph appears above the form / delete button. Defaults to 'Are you sure?' on delete.
• template any template string that autoform accepts. See the autoform docs
• labelClass defines a bootstrap class for use when the horizontal class is used, how many columns should the label take? For example:

  labelClass='col-sm-3'

• inputColClass defines a bootstrap class for use when the horizontal class is used, how many columns should the input take? For example:

  inputColClass='col-sm-9'

• placeholder set to true if you wish to use the schema label for the input placeholder.
• formId defines id of the quickForm template. Useful when you want to set your custom autoform hooks.
• backdrop disables or enables modal-backdrop. Defaults to true (modal can be dismissed by mouse click). To disable use 'static' value. (See more here)
• meteormethod if specified meteor method will be called on submit. This has the same effect as passing type="method" and meteormethod to autoform template. See autoform docs for more details.
• onSuccess function to be called when operation succeeds. Currently it's supported for operation="remove" only.
• dialogClass can be used to add additional class for .modal-dialog (e.g. modal-sm)

Callbacks/Hooks

It's possible to add your own autoform callbacks/hooks by setting the formId.
