Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require spindogs/laravel-spin-forms

Upon install/update, it is recommended to clear the view cache. If there are new components in here, then they will need to either be manually copied over from the spin-forms.php config file, or republish the service provider with the --force flag. NB: using the --force command will overwrite your config file, so if you have any custom controllers or views, plase change them again

php artisan view:clear

Some components require additional javascript to be used in conjunction with the FE Baseline, these are generated by the components, but you will need to add code to your layout page to display it.

@stack('scripts')

Modification

You can modify/override any of the templates, by changing the view and class keys in the config file. To do this, you need to publish the vendor file.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spindogs\LaravelSpinForms\SpinFormsServiceProvider"

return [
    'components' => [
        'form' => [
            'view'  => 'spin-forms::components.form', // DEFAULT
            'view'  => 'components.spin-forms.form', // OVERRIDE
            'class' => \Spindogs\LaravelSpinForms\View\Components\Form::class
        ],
    ]
]

Examples

Form

Options

method - string - DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, PUT (Default: POST)
files - boolean (Default: false)

DELETE, PATCH, PUT; will trigger the Laravel @method command to then spoof the verb.

The files variable, will add the enctype/multipart to the form tag. This needs to be sent as a boolean value, so needs to be in the component as :files="true"

<x-form method="POST" :files="true">
</x-form>

Error List

Displays all form errors in list.

<x-form-error-list />

Button

Options
