Using a Model to load a form

[thantous]

Hiya,

Previously in Designer, if I sent a json structure that looked like this via a Model load (REST type)

{key1: {advertiserId: 2, ...}, key2: {someOtherId: 1, ...}}

I could then setup a model by hand and the fields could be specified as 'key1.advertiserId', or 'key2.someOtherId'. In the form, I would have the same nested names associated to specific fields. When loaded, the nested values would pre-fill the form, which was awesome.

With Architect, I am unable to create a Model field name in the same way. I do have access to the data I need in the raw property, and can set the Model values using this, but that seems like an odd way to handle the problem. Is there a way using Architect that I can create my model names to read the nested structures?

So, instead of this (cut from Architect)

Ext.define('CampaignManager.model.CampaignModel', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    fields: [
        {
            name: 'advertiserId',
            type: 'int'
        },
        {
            name: 'someOtherId',
            type: 'int'
        }
    ]
});

I'd like to do this (to match my

Ext.define('CampaignManager.model.CampaignModel', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    fields: [
        {
            name: 'key1.advertiserId',
            type: 'int'
        },
        {
            name: 'key2.someOtherId',
            type: 'int'
        }
    ]
});

If that isn't possible, what are my options? Is an override useful here? Create multiple models as use associates?

Thanks,
Thanatos

Sounds like you are looking for the mapping configuration.

You should set the name to advertiserId and mapping to key1.advertiserId.

Ahhhh yes! That works nicely.

Thanks a ton!
