In order to solve the existing problems, the present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus, a storage medium, and an electronic device for generating a form, which can dynamically search and configure in pre-configured form description information according to material attribute data of each form item corresponding to a target material, so that a form corresponding to various material types including an interactive component can be dynamically generated, and form description rules in the form description information are simple and easy to calculate, and a more dynamic form effect can be achieved, thereby reducing maintenance cost and calculation difficulty of form configuration.

Specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of generating a form, as shown in FIG. 1, according to an exemplary embodiment, the method including the steps of:

in step S101, material attribute data corresponding to at least one target material is acquired.

The target material refers to a material selected by a user from a plurality of preset materials in an interactive editor (such as an editor like rubexes, ink knives, and the like) for making an interactive work, and the preset materials at least include one or more of the following materials: the system comprises a scene, an interactive component, characters, pictures, videos, audios, particle animations, Lottie animations, sequence frames, graphics, animations and events, wherein the interactive component is generally formed by combining various other materials, for example, character nodes and picture nodes in preset materials can form the interactive component.

The material attribute data refers to preset default attribute data corresponding to the target material.

For example, fig. 2 is an interface schematic diagram of an interactive editor shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a user selects a text node in the interactive editor, and the material attribute data corresponding to the text node is shown in a box in fig. 2, and includes attribute data such as center coordinates (anchor X, anchor Y), color (color), font size (fontSize), width (width), height (height), name (name: "text node"), text information (text: "text content") and the like of the text node, and the above example is only an illustration, and the disclosure does not limit this.

In addition, in this step, the material attribute data corresponding to each target material may be acquired in any one of the following two manners:

and responding to the material selection operation of a user in a preset content editing area, and acquiring material attribute data corresponding to at least one target material selected by the user.

As shown in fig. 2, the preset content editing area refers to an operation area of a material node, based on the first mode, a user may select one or more target materials from a plurality of preset materials according to actual work requirements, after obtaining a material selection trigger operation of the user, the terminal may display the target material selected by the user in the preset content editing area, and obtain the material attribute data corresponding to the target material from a preset path corresponding to the target material.

And secondly, responding to the attribute input operation of a user on at least one target material in a preset attribute editing area (or referred to as an attribute panel), and acquiring material attribute data corresponding to at least one target material respectively.

In another possible application scenario, after the user selects the target material, the attribute panel may perform a real-time change operation on one or more attributes in the target material (for example, for a text node, information such as text content and font size in the "base" attribute may be modified), and after the attribute input operation of the user in the attribute panel is obtained, the material attribute data may be obtained once.

In step S102, preconfigured form description information is obtained, where the form description information is preconfigured form description information according to multiple candidate materials in the current service.

The current service refers to generating a corresponding attribute form for a material in a designated interactive editor, the selected interactive editors are different, the current service is different, types of the candidate material (or referred to as preset material) corresponding to different services may be different, the form description information may include structure configuration information and attribute configuration information, and the structure configuration information includes structure configuration information and attribute configuration information. . . The attribute configuration information includes attribute information (such as data attribute name, data attribute type, form name, form default value, form prompt, etc. information of each form item) of each form item component (i.e. the form in which the form item is presented in the form).

In the process of configuring the form description information, the material attribute data may be configured first, and then the structure configuration information may be configured, specifically, the material attribute data may be configured in advance in the following manner:

acquiring at least one candidate material corresponding to the current service; and configuring description information of each form item through a JS object numbered notation JSON aiming at each candidate material to obtain material attribute data.

Illustratively, taking the candidate material as a text node as an example, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a form corresponding to the text node shown according to an exemplary embodiment, and description information of a form item "name" in the form shown in fig. 3 may be configured by using JSON configuration in the following manner:

the key represents a data attribute name, the type represents a data attribute type, different input components can be used for different attribute types, for example, a string type is an input box, the name represents a form item name, the default represents a form item default value, and the tooltip represents a form item prompt;

assuming that the form corresponding to the text node includes three form items of "name", "text" and "font size", based on the same manner, the description information of each form item can be configured through JSON, and the material attribute data located under the PropertyList field is obtained:

the foregoing examples are illustrative only, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

After the description information describing the form item component is obtained, the structural configuration information of the form can be continuously configured for at least one candidate material corresponding to the current service:

first, the structure information of each form item may be defined using a grid layout.

For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a form layout corresponding to a text node according to an exemplary embodiment, and in order to implement the form layout shown in fig. 4, assuming that the total grid number of each line is 12, the following structural configuration may be performed:

as shown in fig. 4, the form item "name" is exclusive to one line in the form, and "column":12 is configured correspondingly, and the form item "text" and "font size" are distributed in the same line in the form, and for both form items, "column":6 is configured, and based on the above structural configuration, the form layout as shown in fig. 4 can be generated, and the above example is only an example, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

Considering the practical application scenario, the problem of repeated configuration may occur based on the above configuration method, for example, the text node has a name attribute, the picture node also has a name attribute, the text node and the picture node have a problem of repeated configuration, the system configuration resources are wasted, in order to solve the problem of repeated configuration, in one possible implementation manner of the present disclosure, the structure information of the form entry may be split from the description information of each form entry, but after the splitting, the column field is not split, since the layout information described by the column field is related to the structure, and it is often encountered in the actual development process that the layout information of the same attribute in different data is different, in this case, the column field needs to be reconfigured, therefore, the configuration structure information described above is less readable, and maintenance costs for layout modification are also increased.

In another possible implementation manner of the present disclosure, to solve the problems of poor readability of configuration structure information and high cost of layout modification, a table structure may be used for initialization based on the following configuration manner:

in the above configuration, the column field in each form item information may be deleted, and the structure information of each form item is configured in a structure configuration list ConfigList, where a row of 12 columns (i.e. 12 grids) is provided, and a square bracket in which a data attribute keyword (or referred to as a data attribute name) of each form item under the ConfigList field is located represents a row, so that, based on the above configuration, it may be determined that the form item "name" in the form occupies an entire row, the form items "", "text" and "fontSize" in the form are located in the same row, and occupy 6 columns of a row, respectively, to obtain the form layout shown in fig. 4, which is merely an example, and this disclosure does not limit this.

Considering that in an actual application scenario, different data have the same attribute, which often means that they are likely to inherit from a common base class, but the current configuration does not embody this point; in addition, when there are many data attributes, classification is also required, and in the present disclosure, an individual attribute of each form item may be declared through a second preset field (e.g., extensions field) in a structure configuration list (i.e., ConfigList), a common attribute of each form item may be declared through a third preset field (e.g., className field), and classification may be performed through adding a fourth preset field (e.g., groups field), where the third preset field represents a base class (or referred to as a parent class), and the second preset field represents a subclass.

As an example of this, the following is given,

thus, the individual attribute of each form item "base", "font" and "style" can be declared through the extensions field, and the common attribute of the form item "base", "size & position" and "transformation" can be declared through the className.

In view of the new addition of inheritance and classification characteristics in configuration, there are two problems, one is a layout sorting problem of different data categories after a subclass inherits a parent class (the data category refers to a preset data category corresponding to one or more form items in a current service), and for this problem, the present disclosure may set, for each data category, a display sorting identifier corresponding to the data category according to a preset rule, where the display sorting identifier is used to indicate a display position corresponding to the data category.

In one possible implementation, the sortIndex field may be used to indicate the display sort identifier, which may be in the form of numbers such as 0, 1, 2, etc., so that the larger the display sort identifier, the higher the corresponding data category is sorted in the form layout.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a form layout according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the sortIndex fields are used to respectively identify display sort identifiers of different data categories, where the sortIndex corresponding to the data category "attribute setting panel" is 2, the sortIndex corresponding to the data category "position alignment" is 1, the sortIndex corresponding to the data category "base" is 0, and the sortIndex corresponding to the data category "font" is 0, so that, based on a form layout rule that the display sort identifier is larger, the corresponding data category is sorted farther in the form layout, the form layout shown in fig. 5 may be obtained, and the above example is merely an example, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

After inheritance and classification characteristics are newly added in the configuration, the following problems also exist: in the process of dynamically generating the form, the same classifications of the parent class and the child class need to be merged, for example, the classname field contains a form item "base", the extensions field also contains a form item "base", attribute information of the parent class and the child class needs to be merged, but in consideration of the fact that sortIndex sorting fields possibly set when the same classifications are merged are not the same, in order to solve the problem, as shown in the above example, the order of all classifications can be declared in the common parent class classname field, and a null classification set for a classification that does not actually exist in the parent class plays a role in occupying, so that the use of the sortIndex field in configuration can be greatly reduced, and the structural configuration rule of the form is more concise.

In the process of configuring the structure configuration information in advance, in order to support the function of embedding the form into the form and realize dynamic searching configuration according to the data of the form item, the present disclosure may declare a preset matching condition through a first preset field according to the current service, where the preset matching condition is used to indicate a form configuration entry corresponding to the current service.

The first preset field may include a match field, and the preset matching condition may include one or more matching conditions, for example, the following three preset matching conditions are configured in the match field:

At this point, form description information is obtained by pre-configuring a plurality of candidate materials in the current service.

In step S103, form attribute information of a target form is determined according to the material attribute data and the form description information, where the target form is a to-be-generated form corresponding to at least one target material, and the form attribute information includes description information of each form item in the target form and layout information of each form item in the target form.

The description information of each form item comprises one or more items of a data attribute name, a data attribute type, a form item name, a form item default value and a form item prompt, and the layout information at least comprises one or more items of the following items: the data category comprises displayable attributes of each form item, the number of grids of each form item and the display ordering of each data category, wherein the displayable attributes are used for indicating whether the form item is displayed or not, and the data category comprises at least one form item.

In this step, the form attribute information of the target form to be generated may be determined through the following sub-steps as shown in fig. 6:

in step S1031, the material attribute data is matched with a preset matching condition in a first preset field of the structure configuration information, where the first preset field is used to locate a structure configuration entry of the target form.

Wherein the first predetermined field includes a match field.

After the material attribute data shown in fig. 2 is obtained, match is first performed, the material attribute data is matched with a match field in the structure configuration information ConfigList, and if the condition is satisfied, the matching is successful, that is, the structure configuration entry of the current dynamic form is found, for example, the preset matching condition in the match field is match { '- } [ { var:' }, 'type' }, 'Text' ], and if the material attribute data includes data of data type Text, the matching is determined to be successful.

In step S1032, if the material attribute data is successfully matched with the preset matching condition, sequentially traversing the structural configuration information from the first preset field, and determining the description information of each form item in the target form according to a traversal result and the attribute configuration information.

In this step, if traversing to a second preset field is determined according to a traversing result, at least one target keyword corresponding to the second preset field is obtained, matching is performed according to the at least one target keyword and a keyword corresponding to a third preset field in the structural configuration information, if matching is successful, at least one data attribute name is determined from the configuration information corresponding to the third preset field, and different data attribute names correspond to different form items; and acquiring the description information of each form item from the attribute configuration information according to at least one data attribute name.

Here, the second preset field includes an extensions field, and the third preset field includes a className field.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 7a and 7b, the obtained material attribute data is successfully matched with the preset matching condition in the match field in the structure configuration information shown in fig. 7a, traversal is continued, an extensions field is obtained by traversal, at this time, the extensions are inherited, a target keyword 'Base' in the extensions field is matched with a target keyword 'Base' in the className field in the structure configuration information shown in fig. 7b, the two are consistent, it indicates that a text form corresponding to a text node to be generated currently contains the structure configuration, and at least one data attribute name is determined from configuration information corresponding to the className field, and different data attribute names shown in fig. 7b correspond to different form items; for example, the following data attribute names "name", "text", "fontSize" are obtained, the obtained form item information only contains the data attribute name (or called as data attribute key), but there is no detailed form item description information, so key matching may be performed next, that is, the description information of each form item is obtained from the attribute configuration information property list according to at least one data attribute name, for example, the description information corresponding to the form item "word number" may be obtained based on the data attribute key "fontSize":

After the complete description information of each form item is acquired, runtime data calculation including extended data filling and visibility calculation can be performed, and how to perform extended data filling is introduced first.

In the form generation process of the current service, in order to improve the use experience of the user, some service components need to be filled with extension data, fig. 8 is a form layout diagram corresponding to a picture node shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, a node picture needs to support replacement, and in order to improve the experience, the user needs to be prompted about the suggested size of the picture, at this time, the replacement picture component needs the width and height of the picture.

As an example, it is assumed that the material data corresponding to the acquired picture node is:

the suggested size data may be filled in a preset field template field in the description information of the form item "picture material" corresponding to the picture node, and the specific configuration is as follows:

in the extension data, the definitions [0] refers to a picture object, that is, the definitions [0] and [ height ] indicate the width attribute and the height attribute of the picture object, respectively, so that the filling of the extension data is completed for the preset list item "picture material" of the picture node, and the above example is only an example, and the present disclosure does not limit the present disclosure.

In step S1033, a dynamic form calculation is performed according to the material attribute data and the structure configuration information, so as to determine the layout information of each form item in the target form.

The dynamic form calculation described below includes visibility calculation, initialized form layout, sort merging, sort sorting, public attribute calculation, and layout calculation, so that a form is dynamically generated by matching preconfigured form description information according to material attribute data of target materials.

In the step, when performing visibility calculation, a preset visible configuration condition corresponding to each form item can be determined from the structural configuration information for each form item; and matching the material attribute data with the preset visible configuration conditions, and determining the displayable attribute corresponding to the form item according to the matching result.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9a and 9b, a static rigid body type is selected among the physical properties, and properties such as linear damping, rotational damping, gravity coefficient, angular velocity, etc. are not displayed, but a dynamic rigid body type is displayed when selected, and the corresponding configuration is as follows: rigidBodyType represents a rigid body type, and attributes such as linearDamping and angularDamping set a visible attribute as {'! In contrast, the attributes of linear, angular, etc. set the visible attribute to { '═ va:' rigidnodytype '}, dynamic' ], i.e., the attributes are all displayed when the rigid body type is dynamic, thereby achieving the effect shown in fig. 9a and 9 b.

Thereafter, an initial layout calculation may be performed, i.e., the grid number of each form item is determined according to the structural configuration information and the displayable attributes.

Taking a text node as an example, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a form layout corresponding to the text node according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 10, the data category "text" includes four lines, where wordWrap automatically wraps: one row and one column; leading row spacing, padding inner edge spacing: one row and two columns; align horizontally, align vertically: one row and two columns; overflow mode: one row and one column, the corresponding layout configuration information is as follows:

name: 'text',

props:{[‘wordWrap’],[‘leading’,’padding’],[‘align’,’valign’],[‘overflow’]}

only the columns that are not explicitly set are initialized when the layout is initialized, and the influence of the column visibility is also considered, for example, the configuration information becomes:

name: 'text',

props:{[‘wordWrap’],[‘leading’,{key:’padding’,visible:false}],[{key:’align’,column:8},’valign’],[‘overflow’]}

the padding inner edge distance is invisible, and the second row is a row-by-row line distance; the column grid number is set to be 8 explicitly in the third row align horizontal alignment, and then the align vertical alignment is the total grid number 12 minus the occupied grid number 8 to be 4, which is only an example and is not limited by the present disclosure.

Then, the data types of the second preset field and the third preset field in the structural configuration information are combined according to the common classification combination and classification ordering; and determining a display sorting identifier of each data category from the structural configuration information, and performing display sorting on each data category according to the display sorting identifier.

For example, assuming that the form item of the data category "base" in the second preset field is "text", and the form item in the third preset field is "name" and "type", the form layout as shown in fig. 11 may be generated after the two items are merged.

The specific implementation manner of sorting and sorting may refer to the specific description in the embodiment of pre-configured form description information, and is not described herein again.

After the above matching and form calculation processes are completed, the common attributes can be calculated for a plurality of target materials selected by the user in the following manner:

for each target material, sequentially matching the description information of the form item included in the target material with the description information of the form item included in other materials, wherein the other materials are any one of the target materials except the target material; and taking the same form items corresponding to the target materials as a public attribute according to the matching result.

Specifically, for each row among the same type of attributes, whether the row has a hidden column after calculation is determined, if yes, the number of grids of the row is not full, and the subsequent rows carry in turn, that is, the position of the modified hidden column can be filled by the adjacent form item of the subsequent row.

In step S104, the target form is generated according to the description information and the layout information of each form item.

After the matching and the form calculation are based on the above, the target form can be dynamically generated according to the description information and the layout information of each form item.

By adopting the method, the configuration can be dynamically searched in the form description information which is configured in advance according to the material attribute data of each form item corresponding to the target material, so that forms corresponding to the target material can be dynamically generated aiming at various material types including interactive components, for example, forms are embedded, a plurality of material nodes are simultaneously selected, the simultaneous editing, the multi-selection mixed editing and the setting of editable attributes of common attributes can be realized based on the form generation scheme, and the form description rule in the form description information is simple and easy to calculate, so that more dynamic form effects can be realized, and the maintenance cost and the calculation difficulty of form configuration are reduced.
