Description
Version 2.2 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript added the ability to specify a custom dijit as the editor for fields in the attribute inspector widget. This sample replaces a default text box with Dojo's ValidationTextBox. A ValidationTextBox is a widget that checks the users input against specified validation rules. Here a new ValidationTextBox is created and a regular expression is set that checks to make sure the input is a phone number.
var myDijit = new dijit.form.ValidationTextBox({regExp : "\\(?(\\d{3})\\)?[- ]?(\\d{3})[- ]?(\\d{4})",
required : false,
promptMessage: "Enter phone number",
invalidMessage : "Enter valid phone number"
});
After creating the custom widget, create a new field infos object and enter the newly created widget for the field you want to replace. In this snippet the phone number field is set to use the ValidationTextBox.
var layerInfos = [{'featureLayer':featureLayer,
'showAttachments':false,
'showDeleteButton':false,
'fieldInfos':[
{'fieldName':'name','label':'Name'},
{'fieldName':'email','label':'Email'},
{'fieldName':'phone','label':'Phone','customField':myDijit},
{'fieldName':'note','label':'Details', 'stringFieldOption':esri.dijit.AttributeInspector.STRING_FIELD_OPTION_TEXTAREA},
{'fieldName':'notedate','label':'Date'}
]
}];
