For update form with params?

I'm wondering, when using for_update on an existing resource, do I need to explicitly make a params map? I was expecting it'd be auto populated. Even when I did Map.take/2 on the resource and put that as params it didn't work because params expect string keys. Am I missing something or is this expected? 🤔

You shouldn't need to it should automatically show those existing values when using the standard patterns

hmm, okay, thought so. guess I'm missing something, I'll figure it out 👍 currently did

    form =
      AshPhoenix.Form.for_update(record, :update)
      |> to_form()

    form =
      AshPhoenix.Form.for_update(record, :update)
      |> to_form()

guess that's wrong I tried the Tunez approach, i.e. adding extension AshPhoenix to my resource and using form_to_update but still it doesn't show existing values 🤔 might be a fluxon thing :S

nope, that's fine what does your form look like? what does your action look like?

ken-kostOP•4mo ago

just an update: 😗 update: :* and I have a define :update

does the resource have public attributes? they're the only ones that will show up on the form

ken-kostOP•4mo ago

yes, they are public. like I said, might be a fluxon_ui thing? maybe it just looks in params

without seeing any code, hard to say

     <.form
        :let={f}
        class="grid grid-rows-3 grid-cols-1 items-center justify-center"
        for={@my_form}
        id="my_form"
        phx-submit="submit"
        phx-change="change"
      >

     <.form
        :let={f}
        class="grid grid-rows-3 grid-cols-1 items-center justify-center"
        for={@my_form}
        id="my_form"
        phx-submit="submit"
        phx-change="change"
      >

and in it for example:

             <.date_picker
                field={f["start_date"]}
                label={gettext("Start Date")}
                placeholder={gettext("Select a date")}
                description={gettext("When will you travel?")}
              />

             <.date_picker
                field={f["start_date"]}
                label={gettext("Start Date")}
                placeholder={gettext("Select a date")}
                description={gettext("When will you travel?")}
              />

form = MyApp.MyResource.form_to_update(my_record) |> to_form() let me just check the fluxon code I guess it's a fluxon thing, nothing else comes to mind 🤷
