And in the case of the user is redirected back with errors, the result will be:

¡It's awesame!

Then add the service provider to your config/app.php file:

That's all.

Configuration

Optionally you can publish the configuration file with this command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=ActivismeBE\FormHelper\FormServiceProvider

After that you can edit the config/form-helpers.php file.

NOTE: This step is only needed when your app is below version 5.5

Usage

@form

@form([ Model $model = null ])

Use the optional @form directive to bind a model to your form.
Ignore this directive if you just want the old input binding and no the model binding.

@input

@input(string $attribute [, string $default = null ])

Use the @input directive to assign the value to an input field:

This will result in the following markup:

@text

@text(string $attribute [, string $default = null ])

Use the @text directive to assign the value to a textarea field:

This will result in the following markup:

@checkbox

@checkbox(string $attribute [, mixed $value = 1 [, boolean $checked = false ]])

Use the @checkbox to set the value and the state of a checkbox:

This will result in the following markup:

@radio

@radio(string $attribute [, mixed $value = 1 [, boolean $checked = false ]])

The @radio directive is used in the same way as @checkbox directive, in fact is just an alias:

This will result in the following markup:

@options

@options(array $options, string $attribute [, mixed $default = null [, string $placeholder = null ]])

Use the @options directive to display a list of options for a select field.

Note: It also works with select multiple fields when the model's attribute, old input or $default value is an array.

Let's say we pass an array named $cardTypes to the view and use it with the @options directive:

This will result in the following markup:

Of course you can set a default selected option:

And the result will be:

Also you can define a placeholder option:

The result will be:

@error

@error(string $attribute [, string $template = null ])

Use the @error directive to display a validation error message, this directive will check for you if the error exists or not.

Then when the user is redirected back with errors, the result will be:

Note that the @error directive is Bootstrap friendly by default, but you can define a custom template inline or in the config file:

And the result will be:

See how easy is to do cool stuff with @error directive, for example if you are using Bootstrap for your markup, you can do something like this:

And in the case the user is redirected back with errors, the result will be:
