Converting Form Data to JSON Objects
You can prepopulate forms with information from system objects, custom objects, and
in-memory form data. This data is available directly from the model you're working with or
from the ViewData object used for rendering the template. The
server module in the modules folder includes a
forms.js module that converts form data into JSON objects. For more
information, see the following functions in the server-side JSDoc.
- parseForm(Form)
- copyObjectToForm(object, CurrentForm)
- findValue(formGroup, name)
- clearOptions(obj)
SFRA provides a forms module that abstracts the form definition into a JSON representation. If you want to work with JSON objects, use the modules and forms methods to get and store data.
