Usage

In the template where you want to trigger the modal (named example here).

in example.js:

import { Template } from 'meteor/templating';
import 'meteor/mozfet:autoform-materialize-modals';
import './example.html';
Template.example.helpers({
    data() {
      return {
        id: 'insertExample',
        collection: 'Examples',
        title: 'Add Example',
        type: 'update',
        showRemoveButton: true,
        modalParentId: 'js-dynaview'
      };
    }
});

in example.html:

<template name="example">
  {{#autoformMaterializeModalLauncher data}}
    <a class="btn js-autofrom-materialize-modal-trigger">
      click to launch
    </a>
  {{/autoformMaterializeModalLauncher}}
</template>

This example assumes the use of SimpleSchema and Collections2 on the Examples Collection and use quickform to render the form.

In addition to the normal quickform data attributes supported by AutoForm, the following attributes apply

• data.modalParentId : required and will warn on console if not present. This is needed because meterializecss has issues with where modals can be rendered, and for this reason the modal is not rendered inside this template, because it might not be safe to render it inside this template.
• data.submitButtonLabel : optional, but recommended for internationalization
• data.cancelButtonLabel : optional, but recommended for internationalization

If you do not want to use quickform to render the form, you can add the following attribute :

customForm: {
  template : 'MyCustomFormTemplate', //Name of template to render inside the modal body
  data : {} //(optional data for the template)
}

<template name="MyCustomFormTemplate">
  <!-- place your input fields here -->
  {{> afFieldInput ... }}
</template>
