Custom validation to add at least 2 items in childreneditor in custom component that extends carousel core component

Avatar

Level 5

Hi,

 

I have created a dialog for a component which extends the carousel core component and I have a condition wherein I have to add minimum 2 items into the childreneditor for the dialog to accept the inputs. The dialog XML is attached.

Refer to the screenshot below:

arindam6600_0-1666103263433.png

The Add button is for adding components (same behavior as carousel core component) the resource type being : core/wcm/components/commons/editor/dialog/childreneditor/v1/childreneditor

arindam6600_1-1666103345787.png

I want to add a custom validation so that author needs to add at least 2 items to mark the dialog done (click on the arindam6600_2-1666103391958.png mark). The architecture is done, wherein I have created a clientlib folder where the JS will reside and I will use extraClientlibs to fetch the same. 

Can someone please help me with the JS code which can do the validations as per above criteria?

The multifields are coming from supertype component dialog which is core/wcm/components/panelcontainer/v1/panelcontainer, you don't have to do anything there, just check the multifield in this dialog when it is opened and use that rendered HTML for writing a logic in javascript

@arunpatidar Please go through the XML. there's no multifield resourceType in the dialog nodes.

you need to write the custom script to check for min/max in multifield. 

Check out this example. http://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2018/01/aem-6310-touch-ui-add-min-max-limit-to-coral-3-multifield...

Its written for 6.3.1 but you will get the idea on how to write the logic

Hi @Saravanan_Dharmaraj thanks for the link you shared. I have one query over here -- this is implemented for multifield right? But over here we are using childreneditor as the resource type. So my question is do i add the properties to childreneditor node as shown in the article (for multifield)?

You can have any form elements under the multifield and that script should work at the multifield level. Could you post your dialog xml to help more?

I don't have any multifield in my code. The ADD button that you see comes from the childreneditor (inherited from the core component).
