One form on two screens

Hi guys, 

I got a question on data sharing between two screens. I am building a Sign Up functionality : 

  • the first screen has 3 fields (name, password, email) 
  • the second screen has 3 fields (address, city, postal code).

On my first screen, I got a button to navigate to the second one to finish signing up. On the second screen, I got a button and an on click event triggering a call to my API to create a user.

On submit, name, password and email are empty/undefined. Is there a way to build a form with inputs shared on two screens ? 

Thanks !

Hi Adrien, 
Here is the way I do it, as it seems to be the only solution now :

  • On the sign-up screen, you ask for the first 3 fields
  • You create two main components within your homepage :
    • The first one is going to be a form with thos 3 fields -> on success = "refresh"
    • The second one is going to be the real homepage
  • Then you create a visibility logic in which, "IF USER's adress,  USER's city, and  USER's postal code is empty THEN response.visibleForm=YES and visible.homePage=NO". 
  • you create the oposite logic 
  • You bind the visibility to the components

 

It's not the best, but as Bravo doesn't allow us to pass data between pages, we have no option for now...
Just so you know, this fonctionnality is within bravo studio's roadmap (and the one I'm the most excited about).

I like that solution. I believe there might also a solution where the second screen is a "pop up", sometimes Bravo interprets pop-ups as one screen so it might not break the form.

Separately it could be a nice Feature Request to allow bravo to use 'anchor points' like a webpage. That way you could create a very long form and jump to different sections via a "next button" and then only have one final "submit button"
