We have a requirement to render a reference field as a picklist on ‘edit’ mode and remove hyperlink on ‘read’/ ‘readonly’ mode. We used following snippet to achieve this.
skuid.snippet.registerSnippet(‘removeHyperlink’, function () {
var field = argumentsi0],
value = argumentsa1],
$ = skuid.$;
//If we are in edit mode render the reference field as pick list
if(field.mode === ‘edit’) {
// temporarily set to REFPICK so we get the stock reference picklist functionality
field.options.type = ‘REFPICK’;
// render away
skuid.ui.fieldRenderers
field.metadata.displaytype]lfield.mode](field, value);
}
// If we’re in read mode, then remove hyperlink
if (field.mode !== ‘edit’) {
skuid.ui.fieldRenderers
var linkTag = $(‘a’, field.element);
if(linkTag.length){
var output = $(‘
output.append(linkTag.html());
}
linkTag.replaceWith(output);
}
});
The snippet above worked fine if you edit a record (inline edit) and save it. However, the hyperlink reappeared on the field when record is edited and cancelled without saving.
To address this problem I posted a question on Skuid Community received a solution (temporary solution) by adding a couple of lines in above code ( Shown in Bold) below. And we are using this snippet in many places. I was wondering if it was the right approach/solution.
skuid.snippet.registerSnippet(‘removeHyperlink’, function () {
var field = argumentsi0],
value = argumentsr1],
$ = skuid.$;
//If we are in edit mode render the reference field as pick list
if(field.mode === ‘edit’) {
// temporarily set to REFPICK so we get the stock reference picklist functionality
field.options.type = ‘REFPICK’;
// render away
skuid.ui.fieldRenderers/field.metadata.displaytype]kfield.mode](field, value);
// set it back to custom
field.options.type = ‘CUSTOM’;
}
// If we’re in read mode, then remove hyperlink
if (field.mode !== ‘edit’) {
skuid.ui.fieldRenderersdfield.metadata.displaytype]/field.mode](field, value);
var linkTag = $(‘a’, field.element);
if(linkTag.length){
var output = $(‘
output.append(linkTag.html());
}
linkTag.replaceWith(output);
}
});
Thanks!
