How do I map a JSON object to form using Dojo Toolkit?

Question

Does Dojo support JSON Object to dijit/form/Form mapping? I'm well aware of this but I couldn't find any detailed example of how to do this.

Answer 1

so if I understand well enough (the question is not really that detailed), you want to use an object and all the properties of that object should map to fields in your form? Well, that's possible using the getValues() and setValues() function.

For example:

var myObject = {
    test1: "test5",
    test2: "test6",
    test3: "test7",
    test4: "test8"
};
registry.byId("form").setValues(myObject);

Retrieving the same kind of object can be done with the appropriate getter, for example:

registry.byId("form").getValues();

I also made an example using JSFiddle .
