That sounds like a good idea. It shouldn't be that difficult to implement. Maybe someone can pick it up.

• We have icon assets for records re-ordering (arrow-up.svg & arrow-down.svg).
• The JS logic should be to move an item in an array. The field holds the items as array of arrays in memory ([['hoho', 'hohoho'], ['Teste', 'abc'], ...] in the above example).
• The JS logic should enable/disable the up/down buttons when the item is first/last
• That's it 🤷‍♂️

Hey @adrianthedev I can get it if it's still available 🙏

Yes, you can!

And, thank you!

@adrianthedev you mean something like this 🤭

even it works in front-end well, it cannot be updated on DB.

I checked what I sent to controller "meta"=>"{\"ahmet\":\"\",\"ender\":\"\",\"yurt\":\"\"}"} it looks like that but it looks on DB

3.3.1 :003 > p.meta_for_database
 => "{\"ender\":\"\",\"ahmet\":\"\",\"yurt\":\"\"}"
3.3.1 :004 > p.meta
 => {"ender"=>"", "ahmet"=>"", "yurt"=>""}

I am pretty new in AVO codebase. Where or what should I check?

Hey @enderahmetyurt, looking great already, thank you!

I would start by debugging it here https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/blob/main/lib/avo/fields/key_value_field.rb#L86.

The fill_field method is called to ensure that the data from the params is correctly parsed for each field before assigning it to the record and hitting the DB. There is a base fill_field and some fields override it, KeyValueField is one of those

Thank you man. I'll look at it 🙏

Let me know how it goes

I debugged it and I noticed that meta field cannot be updated since The keys in meta to be changed are the same as the previous one.

but if I changed the fill_field method like this

  begin
    new_value = JSON.parse(value)
  rescue StandardError
    new_value = {}
  end
  
  record.update(meta: {}) if key == 'meta'
  
  record.send(:"#{key}=", new_value)
  
  record

it looks good but I don't like the solution. I'd like to hear your ideas 🙏

We can't do a direct update on fill_field method because it would be an early update without validations then we would have 2 updates on the same record per save request.

I suspected that this could be the issue, thanks for debugging it!

I'll do some research, meanwhile, let me know if you find anything.

While writing this, an idea just came to mind. What if we mark the key as dirty on the fill_field method, something like: record.send(:"#{key}_will_change!")

  def fill_field(record, key, value, _params)
    begin
      new_value = JSON.parse(value)
    rescue StandardError
      new_value = {}
    end

    record.send(:"#{key}_will_change!")
    record.send(:"#{key}=", new_value)

    record
  end

it works fine like above :)

Cool! Looking good!
