parseForm(object, '.my-form');

// ...
console.log(object.x); // 'foo'
object.x = 'bar'; // changes input value to 'bar'

Usage

In browser environment (or whatever environment where Seemple is global variable) Seemple is extended.

<script src="path/to/seemple-parse-form.min.js"></script>

Seemple.parseForm(object, form);

The bundle can be downloaded at gh-pages branch

In CJS environment Seemple is not extended.

npm install seemple-parse-form

const parseForm = require('seemple-parse-form');

API

The function accepts 4 arguments:

• object - an object (required)
• form - a selector, DOM node etc. of given form (custom selectors :sandbox and :bound(XXX) also acceptable) (required)
• callback - a function which will be called on every found field; accepts field name and field element itself
• eventOptions - event options which will be passed to every internal call of bindNode.

Returns: parsed form element.

The third argument is useful when parseForm is used with Seemple.Object: you can call addDataKeys method there.

const form = parseForm(this, ':sandbox .foo', key => this.addDataKeys(key), {
    getValueOnBind: false
});
