Feature request: enum dropdowns, hint text for columns, better debug

Open sudofox opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Hi!

I'd like to request a few things:

Automatically generate enum dropdown based on column definitions
Input maxlength based on column sizes
Add hint text for columns
Show datatype for columns, maybe allow some loose validation in the form
Wrap updates in transactions, and rollback/display verbose error if an issue occurs.
Maybe a little deduplication for the database logic?

I spent money on some really complex PHP Crud thingy and then I found this simple beauty after the thing that I bought started acting up :) It looks very modifiable and I'm very happy to have found it. Wish I'd found it earlier!

Good ideas!

So far I added

Automatically generate enum dropdown based on column definitions https://github.com/jan-vandenberg/cruddiy/commit/a6f2af5d97597f3ee6d720cf795322f3af5bb658
Input maxlength based on column sizes https://github.com/jan-vandenberg/cruddiy/commit/f658b4afe79b66be5c83fab418fe033bc83119d4

I am not sure if I get around to the other requests, also what would "hint text for columns" look like?

Hint text for columns would be like "This is what this column does". It would be separate from the display name of the column and let you explain what it's used for to the end user.

You mean as in a placeholder field for HTML? or as in a hover style popup with more information?
