Edit Form View

The Edit Form View is generated for PUT /resources/{id} and PATCH /resources/{id} endpoints. It works like the Form View but pre-populates all fields with the current record's values.

Features

Pre-population: fetches the current record via the corresponding GET /resources/{id} endpoint and fills all form fields
Partial updates: PATCH endpoints produce a form where all fields are optional by default
Validation: same constraint mapping as the Form View
Cancel: navigates back to the Detail View without saving

Difference from Form View

	Form View	Edit Form View
HTTP method	`POST`	`PUT` / `PATCH`
Initial values	Empty	Fetched from API
Required fields	Per spec	`PATCH`: all optional

Example spec

paths:
  /pets/{petId}:
    put:
      summary: Update a pet
      parameters:
        - name: petId
          in: path
          required: true
          schema:
            type: integer
      requestBody:
        required: true
        content:
          application/json:
            schema:
              $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'
      responses:
        '200':
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'

Customisation

Replace the Edit Form View for a specific resource:

overrideRegistry.register({
  id: 'pets.update',
  mode: 'component',
  component: MyCustomPetEditForm,
});
