This reference covers the features of the CIB seven Forms SDK. The Forms SDK simplifies the implementation of user task forms in HTML5 / JavaScript based Applications. The Forms SDK itself is written in JavaScript and can be added to any JavaScript based Application.

Features

The Forms SDK provides the following features:

• Form handling: attach to a form existing in the DOM or load a form from a URL.
• Variable handling: load and submit variables used in the form.
• Script handling: execute custom JavaScript in Forms
• Angular JS Integration: The Forms SDK optionally integrates with AngularJS to take advantage of AngularJS form validation and other AngularJS goodies.

The following is a simple example of a form with two input fields binding to process variables CUSTOMER_ID and CUSTOMER_REVENUE:

<form>

  <label for="customerId">Customer Id:</label>

  <input type="text" id="customerId"
         cam-variable-name="CUSTOMER_ID"
         cam-variable-type="String">

  <label for="customerRevenue">Customer Revenue:</label>

  <input type="text" id="customerRevenue"
         cam-variable-name="CUSTOMER_REVENUE"
         cam-variable-type="Double">

</form>

Anti Features

The Forms SDK is intended to be lean and small. By design it is not concerned with things like

• Form Validation: Instead, integrate with existing frameworks such as AngularJS.
• Components / Widgets: Instead, integrate nicely with existing component libraries like jQuery UI, Angular UI, …
• Form Generation: Instead, allow users to leverage the complete power of HTML and JavaScript to implement complex forms.
