FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package laravel-form
Laravel Form Builder (mhriad/laravel-form)
A lightweight, drop-in Form Builder for Laravel 10 & 11 — a safe, minimal replacement for the LaravelCollective Form:: API. It provides common Form:: helpers (open, close, text, email, password, textarea, select, checkbox, radio, file, submit, etc.) so you can keep your existing Blade views without rewriting forms.
What does this package do?
This package implements a small, focused Form Builder that:
- Recreates the most commonly used features of LaravelCollective\Form using the same facade/API style (Form::...) so existing Blade templates continue working.
- Automatically handles CSRF tokens, HTTP method spoofing (PUT/PATCH/DELETE), and multipart/form-data for file uploads.
- Supports:
- Basic inputs: text, email, number, password, hidden
- textarea, file
- select (arrays & collections)
- checkbox, radio
- submit, reset
- Provides old() value handling, simple model binding via Form::model(), and safe HtmlString output.
- Helps large projects upgrade Laravel versions (10/11) without rewriting forms.
Benefits of using this package
- Zero view changes — keep using Form::open, Form::text, etc.
- Laravel 10/11 compatible — works with modern PHP versions.
- Lightweight & dependency-free.
- Secure — auto-escapes values & inserts CSRF/method fields.
- Extendable — easy to customize.
- Safe migration path for legacy projects.
