Saving data in a promotion / formotion form

I have a form that displays, and when i click the submit button it logs the values to the console.

How can i persist the settings so i can access them elsewhere in the application and the form is prepopulated when i return to the form screen?

I have my form set up like this

class ChimeScreen < FormotionScreen

  title "Chime"

  def on_submit(_form)
    data = _form.render

    # settings.enable = data[:enable]
    # settings.alarm_time = data[:alarm_time]
    PM.logger.debug data[:alarm_time]
    open BrowseScreen
  end

  def table_data
    {
      ...
    }
  end
Solution

  • Formotion allows persistent data by setting the persist_as value on the form.

    See example here: https://github.com/clayallsopp/formotion/tree/master/examples/Persistence

    You can then retrieve this form data as a hash by looking into 

    App::Persistence["FORMOTION_#{your_symbol_persisting_as_here}"]
