Quick start

To create a form, you can user either Blade helpers or the Form Facade.

Using Blade helpers:

@form_open(action('SomeController@action'))
                    
@form_close

Using Facades:

{!! Form::open(action('SomeController@action')) !!}
					
{!! Form::close() !!}

Any controls you want to create must be placed between the opening and closing of the form.

Using Blade helpers:

@form_open(action('SomeController@action'))
    
@form_text('name', 'Name')
                        
@form_buttons('Send', 'Reset')
            
@form_close

Using Facades:

{!! Form::open(action('SomeController@action')) !!}
	
{!! Form::text('name', 'Name') !!}
						
{!! Form::buttons('Send', 'Reset') !!}
			
{!! Form::close() !!}

Themes

Themes are a way to customize the look of forms using partial views.

Available themes

There are three different themes available:

  1. default: a simple form theme without any third party dependencies.
  2. horizontal: default Bootstrap horizontal form (Requires Bootstrap 3).
  3. vertical: default Bootstrap vertical form (Requires Bootstrap 3).

All themes are subfolders at src/resources/views/partials/form folder.

Creating a custom theme

To create a custom theme, copy a base theme from vendor/intentor/laravel-form/src/resources/views/partials/form at your local Laravel installation to the resources/views/partials/form of your app.

Each helper has its own Blade template file, which can then be customized.

Note: the name of the theme's folder is the name that must be used when setting the theme.
