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.

Framework agnostic form helpers.
About
I've never found form libraries terribly useful. In my experience, they either work only for the most simple forms, or end up being way more difficult to use than just writing the HTML by hand.
That said, I do need some really basic form helpers to easily pre-populate form fields (like from previous POST to correct errors or from a database) and build drop down boxes.
The primary goal of this library is to solve those 2 problems in a way I don't hate. If I can make some more robust form helpers that don't get in my way while I'm at it, all the better.
This library provides helpers for setting default values in otherwise static html form elements as well as an input builder for dynamically creating form elements.
Quick Examples
You can view the full documentation with more examples at http://werx.moody.io/packages/forms/
Here's a few quick examples to get you started.
Text boxes
Selects
Checkboxes and Radios
Use the checkedWhen() method if you want to check something pending some condition. Pass any condition you like. If it evaluates to true, it will call checked() on the element.
checkedWhen()works for both radios and checkboxes.
Installation
This package is installable and autoloadable via Composer as werx/forms. If you aren't familiar with the Composer Dependency Manager for PHP, you should read this first.

Unit Testing
$ composer testCoding Standards
This library uses PHP_CodeSniffer to ensure coding standards are followed.
I have adopted the PHP FIG PSR-2 Coding Standard EXCEPT for the tabs vs spaces for indentation rule. PSR-2 says 4 spaces. I use tabs. No discussion.
To support indenting with tabs, I've defined a custom PSR-2 ruleset that extends the standard PSR-2 ruleset used by PHP_CodeSniffer. You can find this ruleset in the root of this project at PSR2Tabs.xml
Execute the codesniffer command from the root of this project to run the sniffer using these custom rules and codefixer command to correct them.
$ composer codesniffer
$ composer codefixer
