Convergence Input Element Bindings
This module provides a set of utilities to bind plain HTML Input / Form Elements to a Convergence model. The module provides simple two way data binding between the HTML input element and a particular field in the Convergence data model. The module currently supports the following input elements:
- Text Input Fields
- <input type="text" />
- <input type="password" />
- <input type="email" />
- <input type="url" />
- <input type="search" />
- <textarea />
- Radio Buttons
- Select Elements
- <select />
- <select multiple />
- Color Selector
- Number Fields
- <input type="number" />
- <input type="range" />
You can see it in action here.
