#ctx.getValue()

In editable field scenarios such as JSField and JSItem, use this to get the latest value of the current field. Combined with ctx.setValue(v), it enables two-way binding with the form.

#Scenarios

Note: ctx.getValue() is only available in RunJS contexts with form binding; it does not exist in scenarios without field binding, such as workflows or linkage rules.

#Type Definition

getValue<T = any>(): T | undefined;

• Return Value: The current field value, whose type is determined by the field's form item type; it may be undefined if the field is not registered or not filled.

#Retrieval Order

ctx.getValue() retrieves values in the following order:

1. Form State: Prioritizes reading from the current state of the Ant Design Form.
2. Fallback Value: If the field is not in the form, it falls back to the field's initial value or props.

If the form has not finished rendering or the field is not registered, it may return undefined.

#Examples

#Render based on current value

const current = ctx.getValue();
if (current == null || current === '') {
  ctx.render(<span>Please enter content first</span>);
} else {
  ctx.render(<span>Current value: {current}</span>);
}

#Two-way binding with setValue

const { Input } = ctx.libs.antd;

// Read current value as default value
const defaultValue = ctx.getValue() ?? '';

ctx.render(
  <Input
    defaultValue={defaultValue}
    onChange={(e) => ctx.setValue(e.target.value)}
  />
);
