React meta renderer

React renderer for a forms designed using meta-framework.

Examples:

Primitive form:

Allows to represent data model using primitive controls:

• primitives1 and primitives4 are bound to same data, so changing data in first automatically replicate data in second
• primitive2 strict bound to numeric type, so numeric textbox is used to represent this data model
• primitive3 is bool field, so checker is good option to represent

{
    name: 'generalPurposeForm',
    ui: {label: 'Primitive elements and behaviors'},
    items: [
        { name: 'primitives1', binding: 'b1', renderer: 'textbox', 
          ui: {label: 'String field (enter here and see result in label3 as both bound to same data path)'} },
      
        { name: 'primitives2', binding: 'b2', renderer: 'textbox', 
          ui: {label: 'Number field'}, type: 'number' },
      
        { name: 'primitives3', binding: 'b3', renderer: 'textbox', 
          ui: {label: 'Boolean field'}, type: 'bool' },
      
        { name: 'primitives4', binding: 'b1', renderer: 'label', 
          ui: {label: 'String readonly field (bound to first string field)'}}
    ]
}

Dictionary forms

Allows representing dropdown list as a datasource for specific data models. Once selected - data is merged into datasource by path.

• static-dropdowns-1 is bound to dictionary static that is defined as part of form declaration, so dropdown will be rendered with list of options from this dictionary
• static-dropdowns-2 is a label that bound to b1.key field (when b1 is source of selected dictionary value), so will represent selected key field
• static-dropdowns-3 is a label that bound to b1.name field, so will represent selected name field
• dynamic-dropdowns-1 and all surrounding labels has same nature, but only dictionary itself is bound to external datasource, specified by URL https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/all

    name: 'dictionaryForm',
    ui: {label: 'Dictionary Form'},

        { name: 'static-dropdowns', renderer: 'container', ui: {'label': 'Static dictionary form'},
            items: [
                { name: 'static-dropdowns-1', binding: 'b1', dictionary: 'static', renderer: 'dropdown', 
                  ui: {label: 'Dictionary with static content'}},
