The form generation method in the embodiment of the present invention can be executed by the server. As shown in Figure 1, the form generation method of the embodiment of the present invention includes:

Step S101, receiving a form acquisition request sent by a client.

Wherein, the form acquisition request may include form type and form identification (ID). For example, the form type is Sales Order or Expenses and so on.

Step S102. Obtain the corresponding form template and form data according to the form acquisition request.

Wherein, the form template includes attribute information of form items. Exemplarily, the attribute information of the form item includes at least one of the following: component type corresponding to the form item, data type, whether it is required, data length, and display order of the form item. The form data includes value information of form items. For example, for a sales order, the form data may include value information of form items such as order amount, order details, consignee, and delivery address.

In a preferred embodiment, both the form template and the form data can be stored in the form of a database table, so as to perform data operations such as adding, deleting, modifying, and checking the attribute information and value information of the form items. In addition, the form template may also be stored in the form of an XML file or a JSON file.

Exemplarily, when the form acquisition request includes a form type and a form identifier, step S102 may include: querying the form template warehouse according to the form type to obtain the corresponding form template; querying the form data warehouse according to the form identifier to obtain The corresponding form data. Wherein, the form template warehouse and the form data warehouse may be constructed based on the same database (such as MySQL database), or may be constructed based on different databases.

During specific implementation, when both the form template data warehouse and the form data warehouse are databases using SQL (Structured Query Language) for data manipulation, the step of querying the form template warehouse according to the form type to obtain the corresponding form template It further includes: generating a first SQL statement according to the form type, and then querying the form template warehouse according to the first SQL statement to obtain the corresponding form template; said querying the form data warehouse according to the form identifier to obtain the corresponding form data The step further includes: generating a second SQL statement according to the form identifier, and then querying the form data warehouse according to the second SQL statement to obtain corresponding form data.

Exemplarily, step S103 may include: encapsulating the corresponding form template and form data, and then sending the encapsulated JSON string to the client. In addition, the corresponding form template and form data may also be encapsulated into an XML string, and then the encapsulated XML string may be sent to the client. After receiving the corresponding form template and form data, the client can dynamically generate the form through a common form rendering engine (or called "rendering module").

In the embodiment of the present invention, by storing the form template and form data in the server, and when the user needs a specific form, the corresponding form template and form data are obtained according to the form acquisition request sent by the client, and the return to the client, so that the client can dynamically generate a form according to the corresponding form template and form data. Through the above steps, the efficiency of form development can be improved, the repeated code in form development can be reduced, and the code maintenance cost in form development can be reduced.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for generating a form according to another embodiment of the present invention. The form generation method in the embodiment of the present invention can be executed by the client. As shown in Figure 2, the form generation method of the embodiment of the present invention includes:

Step S201, sending a form acquisition request to the server.

Exemplarily, the form acquisition request may include: form type and form identification (ID). Wherein, the form type is used to find the corresponding form template, and the form identifier is used to find the corresponding form data.

Step S202, receiving the form template and form data corresponding to the form acquisition request returned by the server.

Wherein, the form template includes attribute information of form items. Exemplarily, the attribute information of the form item includes at least one of the following: component type corresponding to the form item, data type, whether it is required, data length, and display order of the form item. The form data includes value information of form items. For example, for a sales order, the form data may include value information of form items such as order amount, order details, consignee, and delivery address. For example, in the form data of a sales order, the value information of the consignee form item is "Zhang San", and the value information of the delivery address form item is "No. 19 Financial Street, Xicheng District, Beijing ".

In a preferred embodiment, both the form template and the form data can be stored in the form of a database table in the server, so as to add, delete, modify, check, etc. the attribute information and value information of the form item data manipulation. In addition, the form template may also be stored in an XML file or a JSON file in the server.

In this step, the form template and form data received by the client may be in JSON string format or XML string format.

Step S203, rendering and generating a form according to the corresponding form template and form data.

Specifically, step S203 may include:

1) Parsing the corresponding form template and form data returned by the server into a format supported by the client. For example, assuming that the component type corresponding to a form item recorded in a form template is "Text", if the client is an Android App, the client will convert "Text" to "TextView" when parsing; if If the client is an ios app, the client will convert "Text" to "UILable" when parsing. Among them, "Text", "TextView" and "UILable" all represent text box components.

2) Then perform component rendering according to the parsed form template, and set value information corresponding to the component according to the parsed form data to generate a form. For example, suppose a form template includes 5 form items, and the component types of these 5 form items are input box component, date selection component, time selection component, radio component, and multi-selection component. The template renders each component, and sets the corresponding value information of each component according to the parsed form data to generate the form required by the user.

During specific implementation, after receiving the corresponding form template and form data, the client can execute step S203 through a common form rendering engine (or called "rendering module") to dynamically generate a form. Exemplarily, the form rendering engine may include at least one of the following components: Tab component, List component (document list component), Table component (table component), input box component, date selection component, time selection component, radio component , multi-select component, reference selection component, etc. Among them, the reference selection component can be understood as a selector that refers to another form data. For example, if the reimbursement form needs to select the reimbursement department, you need to refer to the data in the reimbursement department form.

After parsing the form template and form data, the form rendering engine can obtain component information by traversing the parsed form template and form data. For example, assuming that the component type of a form item in the form template is "input box type", the following information of the input box component can be obtained from the parsed form template: the data type of the input box component, whether it is required, and whether it is allowed to be modified Wait, get the value information corresponding to the input box component from the parsed form data. Assuming that the component type of a form item in the parsed form template is "date selection type", the following information of the date selection component can be obtained from the parsed form template: the start time and end time of the date selection component, and the time display format etc.; obtain the value information corresponding to the date selection component from the parsed form data.

Further, the method in this embodiment of the present invention may further include: automatically modifying the value of a component associated with the specific component when monitoring the value change of the specific component. For example, for an input box component named "total price", it has an association relationship with an input box component named "amount" and an input box component named "quantity" as "total price=amount*quantity". When the value change of the "amount" input box component or the "quantity" input box component is monitored, the value of the "total price" input box component can be automatically modified through the formula executor.

Exemplarily, the formula executor may support one or more of aggregate functions, numeric functions, string functions, date functions, logic functions and other functions. Among them, the aggregation function can include one or more of the following functions: sum, average, maximum value, minimum value, and count function; the numerical function can include one or more of the following functions: absolute value, rounding, decimal formatting Functions; string functions can include one or more of the following functions: convert lowercase, convert uppercase, remove spaces, convert characters, replace strings, fetch strings, split strings, string matching functions, etc.; date functions can include: get Current date function; logic function can include: If conditional function.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the form template and form data are stored on the server side, and when the user needs a specific form, the corresponding form template and form data are obtained from the server side by sending a form acquisition request, and then the general The form rendering engine dynamically generates forms according to the corresponding form templates and form data, thereby improving form development efficiency, reducing repeated codes in form development, and reducing code maintenance costs in form development.
