Below is a list of commonly used scripts. Scripts here are intended to easily copy and paste into your applications for simplifying specific tasks. You may need to alter component names (API Keys) to fit your specific forms.
Format a date in a Text Component
If you are looking for basic, manual date input, using a Text Component is often the simplest approach. It can be helpful to assign an input mask to the component (99/99/9999) and a minimum length of 8.
//Take in a date string and insert slashes if(data.dob && data.dob.length == 8) { var userDate = data.dob; value = userDate.slice(0,2) + '/' + userDate.slice(2,4) + '/' + userDate.slice(4,8); } else value = data.dob;
Capture a date based on signature input to a Text Component
If you wish to capture a date based on a user making a mark in a signature component, add a Text Component with an API Key of dateSigned and mark it disabled to prevent user manipulation of the field. Add a Signature Component with an API Key of signature.
//Assign a system calculated date based on data entry in another component. var current = new Date(data.dateSigned); if(data.signature && current.toString() === 'Invalid Date') { var d = new Date(); value = d.toLocaleDateString(); } else value = data.dateSigned;
Add state control to check boxes to mimic radio button behavior
This script uses a Text Component (checkState) to preserve the last selected Checkbox Component. Use two or more checkboxes (this example shows 3) and adjust the script accordingly.
//Add state control to checkboxes to mimic radio button behavior. if(data.check1 === true && (data.checkState == '2' || data.checkState == '3')) { value = '1'; data.check2 = false; data.check3 = false; } else if (data.check2 === true && (data.checkState == '1' || data.checkState == '3')) { value = '2'; data.check1 = false; data.check3 = false; } else if (data.check3 === true && (data.checkState == '1' || data.checkState == '2')) { value = '3'; data.check1 = false; data.check2 = false; } else if (data.check1 === true) value = 1; else if (data.check2 === true) value = 2; else if (data.check3 === true) value = 3;
