I’m using a custom element for duration selection. It has a few buttons that modify the value. When I inspect the params from the phx-submit event, there is no value included from the custom element. I want it to be treated as a standard text input with an integer value. How can I get its value included in the submission?

Value from form-associated custom element not being included in form params on submit

Here is the code from the render function of the live component I created that wraps the custom element:

  def render(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    <div id={@id} class="flex items-center gap-4">
      <duration-input name="duration" value={@minutes}></duration-input>
      <TimeBoxWeb.Icons.pipe class="h-5 stroke-shady-white/40" />
      <fieldset class="flex items-center gap-2">
        <%= for {name, value} <- durations() do %>
          <button
            type="button"
            class="option"
            phx-click="set_duration"
            phx-value-minutes={value}
            phx-target={@myself}
            tabindex="-1"
          >
            <%= name %>
          </button>
        <% end %>
      </fieldset>
    </div>
    """
  end

Have looked into this, including the client-side LiveView code for form serialization. I can replicate the undesired behavior by manually constructing a new FormData object from the form element. As expected, the duration value is not included.

Is anyone aware of form participation criteria that would prevent this from working correctly?

For anyone reading this, I came across the solution. My form-associated custom element was missing calls to ElementInternals.prototype.setFormValue. Since the form-associated custom element API is relatively new and unused, there is not much information available online. Here is a google doc that goes over the form participation API for event-based participation and form-associated custom elements.
