Dynamic Picklist values based on RecordType selection in VisualForce page

Question

I have a requirement to show dynamic picklist values based on recordType. I did my research but looks like nothing native from Apex can handle this.

I went the route of calling Describelayout method via AjaxToolkit but always returns an empty array. Not sure if that's supported anymore?

You can get the values using describeLayout method available in Ajax Toolkit. I tried with below code and I am able to get the picklist values based on the record type. There are two RecordTypes "Author" and "Publisher" and have different values in picklist Country__c. You can find the result in the screenshot.

var result =  sforce.connection.describeLayout('sarojkbera__Book__c');
console.log(result);
