Feature Request: Custom options for select field

[RSchwan]

See http://autoform.meteorapp.com/select
This would allow dynamic select fields

You can pass allowedValues as property to the select-field and add a transform-function that returns a label for each value to achieve the same thing.

In my case i created custom form elements where i declare an options-property, which is an array of {key, value} like in autoform because that is much easier to implement than allowedValues and transform.

[RSchwan]

I see your point. But wouldn't it be easier and more simple to bake it directly into the library?

It's already done. You can read more in #23, but the API is the same - you can pass options property (or pass it in uniforms object in your schema). It can be either an object or an array (or a function, that returns it). Basically it overrides allowedValues and transform. Source.

The options property works great!
The only thing I wonder is if there is a way to set a default label. If the field is optional there should be an option for deselection the field.
I tried to add something like this to the options array: { label: 'None', value: undefined } but for the validator there is still a empty string selected.

[radekmie]

Use placeholder.

[RSchwan]

For the validator there is still a empty string and so my validation fails.
And the other thing is that you can't reselect the placeholder.
Autoform for example has a firstOption property.

Well, I have to think about it. Also, it would be nice, @RSchwan, if you could describe your desired API (and behaviour) here.

[RSchwan]

Ok I figured out where my problem was. I didn't know that custom validations are fired although I you have optional set to true.

It's good to know it, thanks.
