<m2-crud metadata="{{metadata}}"></m2-crud>

metadata = {
  query: {
    formUrl: "/query.do",
    fields: [
      {
        name: "username",
        label: "Username",
        editable: true
      }
    ]
  },
  result: {
    grids: [
      {
        name: "username",
        label: "Username"
      },
      {
        name: "phone",
        label: "Phone"
      },
      {
        name: "addr",
        label: "Addr"
      },
      {
        metaType: {type: "ACTION"},
        name: "actions",
        label: "Actions"
      }
    ],
    actions: {
      "record-delete": {
        actionId: "record-delete",
        actionName: "DELETE",
        operType: 2,
        formMeta: {
          formUrl: "/url-to-send-form",
          confirm: "Sure to submit?",
          fields: [
            {
              name: "phone",
              label: "Phone"
            },
          ],
        }
      },
      "record-edit": {
        actionId: "record-edit",
        actionName: "Edit",
        operType: 2,
        formMeta: {
          formUrl: "/url-to-send-form",
          confirm: "Sure to submit?",
          fields: [
            {
              name: "username",
              label: "Username",
              visible:true,
              editable:true
            },
            {
              name: "phone",
              label: "Phone",
              visible:true,
              editable:true
            },
            {
              name: "addr",
              label: "Addr",
              visible:true,
              editable:true
            }
          ],
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

Create custom style

In most of <m2-*/> components, you can custom your own style sheets, use the selectors just like you used in the <style> tag.

metadata.style = `
  .container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: flex-end;
  }
  .container__item {
    width: 100px;
  }
`;

Create custom widgets

A widget is an element nested in a <m2-field>. Metaui provides four internal widgets(<m2-text>、<m2-text-area>、<m2-select-list、<m2-radio-group>, maybe more in the future). But in fact, you can use almost all <m2-*> components as your widget. Also, you can create your own widgets.

• Create your polymer element.

  <link rel="import" href="m2-widget-base.html">
  <dom-module id="your-widget-name">
    <template>
      <!--your code here-->
      
      <!--eg.-->
      <!--<paper-input-->
      <!--          id="input"-->
      <!--          always-float-label-->
      <!--          value="{{ value }}"-->
      <!--          label="[[ metadata.label ]]"-->
      <!--          auto-validate-->
      <!--          required="[[ metadata.required]]"-->
      <!--          error-message="[[ metadata.prompt ]]"-->
      <!--          min="[[ metadata.min ]]"-->
      <!--          minlength="[[ metadata.minLength ]]"-->
      <!--          max="[[ metadata.max ]]"-->
      <!--          maxlength="[[ metadata.maxLength ]]"-->
      <!--          pattern="[[ metadata.regexp ]]"-->
      <!--          readonly="[[ !metadata.editable ]]">-->
      <!--  </paper-input>-->
    </template>
    <script>
  
    class YourWidget extends M2WidgetBase {
      static get is() {
        return "your-widget-name";
      }
      /**
       * Before a form being submitted, validate() will be called automatically to check if the value is legal.
       * You can override it if needed.
       */
      validate() {
        // return this.$.input.validate();
        return true;
      }
      // more methods here
    }
    customElements.define(YourWidget.is, YourWidget);
    </script>
  </dom-module>

  Notice: Your must maintenance the value property of your widget. And don't forget to import your element in your index page.

• Configure in the metadata. See more about FieldMeta

  fieldMeta = {
    elememt: "your-widget-name",
    label: "<labelForName>",
    name: "<someName>",
    required: true,
    editable: true
  }
