Here’s where I assign_form:
defp assign_form(socket, %Ecto.Changeset{} = changeset) do
form = to_form(changeset, as: "onboarding")
IO.inspect(form)
if changeset.valid? do
assign(socket, form: form, check_errors: false)
else
assign(socket, form: form)
end
end
And here’s the inspect:
%Phoenix.HTML.Form{
source: #Ecto.Changeset<
action: nil,
changes: %{},
errors: [
first_name: {"can't be blank", [validation: :required]},
last_name: {"can't be blank", [validation: :required]}
],
data: #TestWeb.OnboardingLive.StepsSchemas.Name<>,
valid?: false
>,
impl: Phoenix.HTML.FormData.Ecto.Changeset,
id: "onboarding",
name: "onboarding",
data: %TestWeb.OnboardingLive.StepsSchemas.Name{
id: nil,
first_name: nil,
last_name: nil
},
hidden: [],
params: %{"first_name" => ""},
errors: [], <------------- I need errors to be here, from the changeset!
options: [method: "post"],
index: nil,
action: nil
}
I’m using a standalone embedded schema, with no database backing to represent a step in a wizard I’m building:
defmodule TestWeb.OnboardingLive.StepsSchemas.Name do
use Ecto.Schema
import Ecto.Changeset
embedded_schema do
field :first_name, :string
field :last_name, :string
end
def changeset(name, attrs \\ %{}) do
name
|> cast(attrs, [:first_name, :last_name])
|> validate_required([:first_name, :last_name])
|> validate_length(:first_name, min: 2)
|> validate_length(:last_name, min: 2)
end
end
The only thing I can think of is to_form somehow expects the name of the as: to be the same as the schema? I’m not sure. Appreciate the help!

Forms render errors only if the action is set on a changeset. Otherwise it’s expected to be a fresh/untouched changeset, which you might have created by running it through
SomeSchema.changeset, but the user didn’t yet have a chance to fill in.https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_ecto/blob/main/lib/phoenix_ecto/html.ex#L305-L307

Thank you, I could not use
apply_actionsince it was messing up a lot of things in the wayto_formhandles and expects inputs. So I just manually added the action and all is well.LostKobrakai
apply_actionreturns a schema struct, not a changeset, so that’s expected.sergio
Yep - so I had to just manually set the action so:
to_form.
