Dojo Generate Form: A Dijit to generate a form based on an editor schema

General

See the wiki for documentation.

The basic dijit to generate a form is called 'Editor'. It has three properties:

1. 'meta' : an editor schema
2. 'plainValue' : A plain object which is the data to display in the form or to fill via the form. When setting this value it will be converted to the modelHandle.
3. 'editorFactory' : the editorFactory defines how the properties defined by the schema are displayed by the generated widgets.

Editor Schema

The editor schema is a json literal that contains all the properties to be displayed and edited in the form. The properties are referred to as attributes.

{
	code: 'Person'
	attributes: 
	[
		{
			code: 'firstname',
			required: true,
			label: 'first name',
			description: 'the first name of the person',
			type: 'string'
		},
		{
			code: 'salutation',
			required: false,
			label: 'salutation',
			type: 'string',
			values : ['Mr.', 'Mrs.']
		},
		{
			code: 'birthday',
			required: false,
			label: 'date of birth',
			type: 'string',
			dateformat : 'yyyy-MM-dd'
		},
		{
			code: 'friends',
			required: false,
			label: 'your best friends',
			type: 'Friend',
			array: true,
			validTypes : [
					{
						code: 'Friend',
						attributes: [
							{
								code: 'nickname',
								required: true,
								label: 'nickname',
								type: 'string'
							},
							{
								code: 'birthday',
								required: false,
								label: 'date of birth',
								type: 'string',
								dateformat : 'yyyy-MM-dd'
							}
						]
					}
				]
		}
	]
}

INSTALLATION

this project is organized like most dojo libraries. If your project is based on the dojo boilerplate layout you can integrate it by adding it as a git submodule named "gform" (not dojo-generate-form) parallel to dojo, dijit, dojox and util.
