I am using the volt syntax to display the check box options
Ex: {{ check_filed('name':'myClass')}}
Generally in volt it will automatically call the function based on the volt file name action function in controller but I don't want like that. I need to call the function seperately for every checkbox(if I have multi check box). I am not using any .js file.
Here how could I call the function in controller(php file) from volt file(When using check box)? Is it possible?
Hi @Karthik261193 you can use a controller as a service or create a User Component and use it like proxy
Good luck

Do you mean you want to use a custom function for a field that does not exist by default in volt?

Yes exactly
You can make your own form fields like this app/forms/elements/FormElementObjectName.php (it's not required to have the same location for the file), see below example.
namespace PhalconTime\Forms\Elements;
use Phalcon\Forms\Element;
use Phalcon\Forms\ElementInterface;
/**
* PhalconTime\Forms\Elements\Time
*
* Component INPUT[type=time] for forms
*/
class Time extends Element implements ElementInterface
{
/**
* Renders the element widget returning html
*
* @param array $attributes
* @return string
*/
public function render($attributes = null)
{
return \Phalcon\Tag::TimeField($this->prepareAttributes($attributes));
}
}
Then in a form object use it like this (see namespace of custom form element and the part 'new Time..')
namespace PhalconTime\Forms;
use Phalcon\Forms\Form;
use Phalcon\Forms\Element\Text;
use Phalcon\Forms\Element\TextArea;
use Phalcon\Forms\Element\Hidden;
use Phalcon\Forms\Element\Select;
use Phalcon\Forms\Element\Date;
use Phalcon\Validation\Validator\PresenceOf;
use Phalcon\Forms\Element\Numeric;
use PhalconTime\Forms\Elements\Time;
use PhalconTime\Models\Project;
use PhalconTime\Models\TimeType;
class TimeregistrationForm extends Form
{
/**
* Initialize the time registration form
*
* @param mixed $entity
* @param array $options
*/
public function initialize($entity = null, $options = [])
{
if(isset($options['edit']) && $options['edit'] === TRUE) {
$id = new Hidden(
"id", [
"class" => "hidden",
]
);
$this->add($id);
}
// Project
$project = new Select('project_id', Project::find(), [
'using' => ['id', 'name'],
'useEmpty' => true,
'emptyText' => 'Select project',
'emptyValue' => '',
'class' => 'form-control',
]);
$project->setLabel('Project');
$project->addValidators(
[
new PresenceOf(
[
"message" => "Selecting a project is required",
]
)
]
);
$this->add($project);
// Time type
$timeType = new Select('time_type_id', TimeType::find(), [
'using' => ['id', 'name'],
'useEmpty' => true,
'emptyText' => 'Select time type',
'emptyValue' => '',
'class' => 'form-control',
]);
$timeType->setLabel('Time type');
$timeType->addValidators(
[
new PresenceOf(
[
"message" => "Selecting a time type is required",
]
)
]
);
$this->add($timeType);
// Start time
$startTime = new Time(
"start_time",
[
"class" => "form-control",
"step" => "60"
]
);
$startTime->setLabel("Start time");
$startTime->setFilters(
[
"striptags",
"string",
]
);
$this->add($startTime);
// End time
$endTime = new Time(
"end_time",
[
"class" => "form-control",
"step" => "60"
]
);
$endTime->setLabel("End time");
$endTime->setFilters(
[
"striptags",
"string",
]
);
$this->add($endTime);
// Total time
$totalTime = new Time(
"total_time",
[
"placeholder" => "00:01 (not required if using start/end date/time)",
"class" => "form-control",
"step" => "60"
]
);
$totalTime->setLabel("Total time");
$totalTime->setFilters(
[
"striptags",
"string",
]
);
$this->add($totalTime);
// Field description
$description = new TextArea(
"description",
[
"placeholder" => "Description",
"class" => "form-control",
"id" => "textarea",
]
);
$description->setLabel("Description");
$timeType->addValidators(
[
new PresenceOf(
[
"message" => "Description is required",
]
)
]
);
$description->setFilters(
[
"string",
]
);
$this->add($description);
}
}
I hope I have understand your question well though. It's also possible to create your own functions for .volt if the function doesn't exist yet.
