Dynamic behaviour with dropdown

I have been trying the dynamic behaviour that’s available with Open OnDemand.
For some reason, it doesn’t seem to work as expected.
Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I updated the file at, /etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/env to hold OOD_BC_DYNAMIC_JS=true

I would just like to hide one select element when a specific option is chosen.
In this case, hide gpu_instance_type when standard node_type is chosen. Although, it doesn’t seem to work in anyway. Here is my form.yml.

form.yml

---
cluster: "slurm-default"

attributes:
  jupyterlab_switch:
    widget: "check_box"
    value: 1
    label: Use JupyterLab Instead of Jupter Notebook?
  cpu_count:
    widget: "text_field"
    value: "1"
    label: How many cores would you like to use?
  mem_count:
    widget: "text_field"
    value: "1"
    label: How much memory (in GB) would you like to use? - Disabled
  node_type:
    widget: "select"
    label: Which node type would you like to use?
    options:
      - [
          "standard", "standard",
          data-hide-gpu-instance-type: true
        ]
      - "gpu"
  gpu_instance_type:
    widget: "select"
    label: Which instance type would you like to use?
    options:
      - g4
      - g5
 
  modules: "python"

form:
  - modules
  - jupyterlab_switch
  - extra_jupyter_args
  - cpu_count
  - mem_count
  - bc_num_hours
  - node_type
  - gpu_instance_type

Hi Naveen.

Thank you for your post. I will play with this some today, and see what you need to do to accomplish what you are wanting.

Thanks,

Hi @naveen

I replaced an existing form’s code with your code and the behavior is as expected. What version of OnDemand are you running?

Thanks,
-gerald

I see, OnDemand version is 2.0.18

I see from here that this type of form building is available only from 2.0.27. So, guess that is the issue?
Can you point me to any docs on how to build with form.js?

In many places in form.js, I see, batch_connect_session_context identifier prefix used. Is that the default prefix that’s added to get the value of any field in form.yml?

Hi Naveen.

Here is the form.js code. I pulled it from an older version of our code, so it may need some touch up.

Thanks, that helped :peace_symbol:

That’s great!
