JavaScript framework¶

In this section, you can find basic examples of how to work with the SharePoint fields using JavaScript.

For more examples, check out Working with form fields in JavaScript article. If you are not familiar with the JavaScript framework, get started with the JavaScript basics.

Note

The field is only accessible once the form is rendered, so all calls to the field must be inside fd.spRendered event:

fd.spRendered(function(){
    //make field required
    fd.field('Field1').required = true;
});

Get or set field value¶

Get or set the field’s value. The Hyperlink field value is stored as an object:

// returns the value as an object
fd.field('Field1').value;

//get the hyperlink URL
fd.field('Field1').value.url

//get the hyperlink description
fd.field('Field1').value.description

Handle change event¶

Execute a function when a field value has been changed:

fd.field('Field1').$on('change', function(value) {
    //log new value to browser's console
    console.log(value);
});

Make field required¶

Make a field required or optional:

//make field required
fd.field('Field1').required = true;

//make field not required
fd.field('Field1').required = false;

Disable field¶

Make a field non-editable. The field value can still be changed with JavaScript and saved:

//disabled field
fd.field('Field1').disabled = true;

//enable field
fd.field('Field1').disabled = false;

Get HTML element¶

Access HTML element inside the field in order to modify it, hide it, or do something else.

//access field's control
var htmlField = fd.field('Field1').$el;

//access field's block, which includes title and control
var htmlFullField = fd.field('Field1').$parent.$el;

Hide field¶

Hide a field from a user. The field value can still be accessed and changed with JavaScript.

//hide field
fd.field('Field1').hidden = true;

//show field
fd.field('Field1').hidden = false;

Clear field¶

Clear field value.

fd.field('Field1').clear();

Change text for the inputs¶

Get or set text for the inputs. Useful for localizations.

// set text for the URL input
fd.field('Field1').urlFieldTypeText = 'Enter the site link';

// set text for the Description input
fd.field('Field1').descriptionText = 'Enter site name'

Change text for testing the link¶

Get or set text for testing the link. Useful for localizations.

// set the text for testing the link
fd.field('Field1').testLinkText = 'Click to test';
