how to reset a form?

[Jakub Wolny]

Hi,

I am new to Backbone forms, that why my question might be stupid.

I have a simple form that I am using to add new records to database. In my case after form.commit and record.save I want to reset form to the default state.

Calling internal "reset" method of HTML form is not good solution because of missing default values.

I know that I can create new form every time, but it is ugly and tricky solutions, so I am sure that has to be easier one.

How about just calling `form.render()` again on the form?

When I again execute form.render() inputs disappear.

I have found out working solution:

record = new Model(); // creating new instance of model

form.model = record;  

form.setValue(record.attributes); // populate new values to inputs

Maybe this should be mentioned in the documentation?

What do you think about adding "reset" method to form (and editors) to reset form inputs to default value?
