Forms in LODSPeaKr

Introduction

#THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE, DO NO USE IT IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS

LODSPeaKr provides a semiautomatic system for creating forms to simplify the process of creating and editing entities in a triple store.

Enabling forms

The Form module is not available in the master branch. Hence, after installing LODSPeaKr you need to switch to

`` git checkout devel-forms

The Form module comes disabled by default (See [[Modules]]). In order to activate it, it is necessary to execute:

utils/lodspk.sh enable module forms 0

`0` can be replaced with any other non-negative number.

Also, it is necessary to define the endpoint to use (it is different from the SPARQL endpoint). In `settings.inc.php` we need to add:

$conf["update"]["local"] = "http://alia:3030/zxc/update";

or whatever the URL of the endpoint is.


## Creating a form


##Note: not implemented yet

utils/lodspk.sh create form myform

this will create a directory structure under `components/forms` similar to the existing ones in a `service` component. The default teplate will include a query called `main.query` similar to

SELECT DISTINCT ?p ?pLabel WHERE{ [] a foaf:Person; ?p [] . OPTIONAL{ ?p rdfs:label ?pLabel } }

By default `html.template` will be similar to:

{%include "../../includes/header.inc"%}

{% LodspkForm %}

{%for i in models.main%} {%endfor%}

{{i.pLabel.value}}

{{i.p.curie|LodspkTextInput}}

{%endLodspkForm%}
