How to render entity reference field in forms?

[mkinnan]

I'm trying to create my own node/add forms. How do I render an entity reference field that is referencing a vocabulary of taxonomy terms?

form.elements['field_data_field_group_location'] = {
  type: 'entityreference',
  title: t('Group Location Tags'),
  required: true,
  default_value: node.field_data_field_group_location
};

I've tried different type:

• entityreference_autocomplete
• entityreference
• entityreference_form_element
• entityreference_autocomplete_tags
• autocomplete

@mkinnan I personally tend to use an autocomplete in this scenario, alongside the Entity Index resource: http://docs.drupalgap.org/7/Forms/Form_Elements/Autocomplete/Autocomplete_with_Entity_Index

form.elements['field_data_field_group_location'] = {
  type: 'autocomplete',
  title: t('Group Location Tags'),
  required: true,
  remote: true,
    custom: true,
    handler: 'index',
    entity_type: 'taxonomy_term',
    vid: 1, /* optional vocabulary id filter */
    parent: 123, /* optional parent term id filter */
    value: 'tid',
    label: 'name',
    filter: 'name'
};
