CakePHP Form Helper for Parsley.js automatic validation integration

This helper will automatically read validation rules from active form model and assign field attributes accordingly.

Compatible with Cake 2.4.7+

Feel free to make any code/docs contributions or post any issues.

Basic usage

1. Enable the helper plugin in your app/Config/bootstrap.php by doing CakePlugin::load('ParsleyHelper'); - or just CakePlugin::loadAll();.

2. Load helper in your app/Controller/AppController.php. You can use the classname option if you want to keep your helper alias as "Form".

   // In AppController.php
   
   public $helpers = array('ParsleyHelper.ParsleyForm');
   // or
   public $helpers = array('Form' => array('className' => 'ParsleyHelper.ParsleyForm'));

3. Enable Parsley rules integration in any form by setting parsley => true or data-parsley-validate => true in Form->create() options array.

   echo $this->Form->create('MyModel', array('parsley' => true));

4. That's all! When you create an input field, parsley attributes will be set according to the defined validation rules.

Trait usage

If you are running PHP 5.4 or greater, and already using a custom or vendor form helper, you can make use of provided ParsleyFormTrait and retain both helper functionalities. You can do so by creating a custom helper in your app/View/Helper folder like this:

// In app/View/Helper

App::uses('ParsleyFormTrait', 'ParsleyHelper.View/Helper');

class MyFormHelper extends VendorFormHelper {
	use ParsleyFormTrait;
}
