Function setValueToElem

Set the value of an HTML input element.

If a <span class="wb-col"> is passed, the first child input is used. Depending on the target element type, value is interpreted accordingly. For example a checkbox is set to checked, unchecked, or indeterminate if the value is truethy, falsy, or null. For datetime input control a numerical value is assumed, etc.

Common use case: update embedded input controls in a render event handler:

  render: (e) => {
    // e.node.log(e.type, e, e.node.data);

    for (const col of Object.values(e.renderColInfosById)) {
      switch (col.id) {
        default:
          // Assumption: we named column.id === node.data.NAME
          util.setValueToElem(col.elem, e.node.data[col.id]);
          break;
      }
    }
  },
