I have an address form that handles both adding and editing (Nothing if adding, Just Address if editing). Up until now, I've had the state and country choices hard coded with a handful of items.
addressForm :: Monad m => Maybe Address -> [Address] -> Form Text m Address
addressForm a addrs =
Address
<$> "id" .: choiceWith (addrToChoice addrs) (fmap id a)
<*> "name" .: string (fmap name a)
<*> "street" .: string (fmap street a)
<*> "city" .: string (fmap city a)
<*> "state" .: choiceWith stateChoices (fmap state a)
<*> "country" .: choiceWith countryChoicesRequired (fmap country a)
<*> "zipcode" .: string (fmap zipcode a)
stateChoices :: [(Text, (Maybe String, Text))] -- (htmlValue, (realValue, labelValue))
stateChoices = [("ON", (Just "ON", "Ontario")), ("NE", (Just "NE", "Nebraska"))]
countryChoicesRequired :: [(Text, (String, Text))]
countryChoicesRequired = [("CA", ("CA", "Canada")), ("US", ("US", "United States of America"))]
Now I would like to retrieve the list of states and countries from the database. I could just pass the list of states/countries to the form like I'm already doing with a list of addresses, but this form is also a subform of 3 or 4 other forms (new advertiser form, new client form, etc.) and I don't need the list of states/countries outside of the form like I do with the list of addresses.
Here's the new form where I've just added fetching the country information:
addressForm' :: (HasPostgres p, Monad m) => Maybe Address -> [Address] -> p (Form Text m Address)
addressForm' a addrs = do
countries <- countryChoices'
return $ Address
<$> "id" .: choiceWith (addrToChoice addrs) (fmap id a)
<*> "name" .: string (fmap name a)
<*> "street" .: string (fmap street a)
<*> "city" .: string (fmap city a)
<*> "state" .: choiceWith stateChoices (fmap state a)
<*> "country" .: choiceWith countries (fmap country a)
<*> "zipcode" .: string (fmap zipcode a)
data Region = Region
{ code :: String
, fullName :: String
}
countryChoices' :: HasPostgres m => m [(Text, (String, Text))]
countryChoices' = do
countries <- getCountries
return $ abbrToChoice countries
abbrToChoice :: [Region] -> [(Text, (String, Text))]
abbrToChoice regions =
map (\ a -> ((pack $ code a), (code a, (pack $ fullName a)))) regions
Here's the handler that's calling it:
editAddressH :: ([(T.Text, Splice AppHandler)] -> AppHandler ()) -> Addr.Address -> Maybe Int64 -> AppHandler ()
editAddressH renderer a userId = do
addresses <- Addr.list userId
(view, result) <- runForm "form" $ Addr.addressForm' (Just a) addresses -- line 233
case result of
Just x -> do
r <- Addr.edit x -- line 236
case r of
_ -> renderer [("success", showContents), ("dfForm", hideContents)]
Nothing -> renderer $ ("success", hideContents) : ("addressList", addressScriptSplice addresses) : phoneSplices ++ digestiveSplices view
The error I get is this:
src/Site.hs:233:44:
No instance for (HasPostgres
(digestive-functors-0.5.0.1:Text.Digestive.Form.Internal.FormTree
(Handler App App) v0 (Handler App App)))

Possible fix:
add an instance declaration for
(HasPostgres
(digestive-functors-0.5.0.1:Text.Digestive.Form.Internal.FormTree
(Handler App App) v0 (Handler App App)))
In the second argument of `($)', namely
`Addr.addressForm' (Just a) addresses'

$ Addr.addressForm' (Just a) addresses;
case result of {

Looks like you need the monadic function. It might look something like this:
addressForm :: Monad m => Maybe Address -> [Address] -> Form Text m Address
addressForm a addrs = monadic $ do
stateChoices <- getStatesFromDB
countryChoices <- getCountriesFromDB
return $
Address
<$> "id" .: choiceWith (addrToChoice addrs) (fmap id a)
<*> "name" .: string (fmap name a)
<*> "street" .: string (fmap street a)
<*> "city" .: string (fmap city a)
<*> "state" .: choiceWith stateChoices (fmap state a)
<*> "country" .: choiceWith countryChoices (fmap country a)
<*> "zipcode" .: string (fmap zipcode a)
