Support for initialValues prop in Create?

[nsdub]

React-admin lets you pass in an initialValues object to <SimpleForm> to specify a set of default values when creating a record (ref).

Does react-admin-firebase contain support for the initialValues prop?

In my project, the object passed to initialValues is ignored. Example:

const defaultValues = {
      createdAt: new Date().getTime(),
      ....
    }

<SimpleForm initialValues={defaultValues}>
      <TextInput source="first_name" />
</SimpleForm>

We'd expect the newly created record to contain the fields in defaultValues.

Hi @nsdub

Currently this feature is not implemented.

But react-admin-firebase automatically creates the following fields in the Firestore document:

// on create document
createdate: Date,
createdby:  string (email),

// on update document
lastupdate: Date,
updatedby:  string (email)

Hope this helps, we'll hopefully get to a few of these issues in the coming weeks.

Cheers,
Ben

Thanks for the note, Ben. As a temporary workaround, I'll just go ahead and use disabled fields with default values. And thank you for this package -- it's saved me a ton of heartache

@nsdub It looks like this feature is implemented in #67 and in the https://github.com/benwinding/react-admin-firebase/tree/upgrade-to-react-admin-v3 branch
