Saving data in a promotion / formotion form - rubymotion

Question

I have a form that displays, and when i click the submit button it logs the values to the console.
How can i persist the settings so i can access them elsewhere in the application and the form is prepopulated when i return to the form screen?
I have my form set up like this
class ChimeScreen < FormotionScreen
title "Chime"
def on_submit(_form)
data = _form.render
# settings.enable = data[:enable]
# settings.alarm_time = data[:alarm_time]
PM.logger.debug data[:alarm_time]
open BrowseScreen
end
def table_data
{
...
}
end

Answer 1

Formotion allows persistent data by setting the persist_as value on the form.
See example here: https://github.com/clayallsopp/formotion/tree/master/examples/Persistence
You can then retrieve this form data as a hash by looking into
App::Persistence["FORMOTION_#{your_symbol_persisting_as_here}"]

Answer 2

OK, i think i was expecting something magical to set up there, when actually it's just straight forward value setting.
def on_submit(_form)
data = _form.render
#defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults
unless data.nil?
#defaults["alarm_time"] = data[:alarm_time]
#defaults["alarm_enabled"] = data[:alarm_enabled]
end
open BrowseScreen
end
and then set the value for each form field...
def table_data
#defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults
{
sections: [{
title: "Set Daily Reminder",
rows: [{
title: "Enable",
key: :alarm_enabled,
type: :switch,
value: #defaults["alarm_enabled"]
},
...etc
