README

Install

Step 1: Install via Composer

$ composer require webup/laravel-form

Step 2: Add the Service Provider

Add this line to config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    //...
    Webup\LaravelForm\FormServiceProvider::class
]

Step 3: Use Facade (optional)

For shorter code, you can use the facade by adding this line to config/app.php:

'aliases' => [
    //...
    'Form'      => Webup\LaravelForm\Facades\Form::class,
]

You can now use Laravel Form directly into your views (check some examples bellow)

Step 4: Publish config

You can publish config and override it in config/form.php:

 php artisan vendor:publish

Using

Methods

These methods can be used with any type of elements:

• label($label = null, $escape = true)
• value($value = null)
• placeholder($placeholder = null)
• name($name = null)
• required($showStar = true)
• errors($errors = [])
• attr(array $attr = [])
• wrapperAttr(array $attr = [])
• wrapperClass($wrapperClass) deprecated use wrapperAttr(['class' => 'myclass'])

Generated HTML

{!! Form::create('text', 'name')
    ->label('Name')
    ->value('Barney')
    ->required()
    ->attr(['maxlenght' => '50'])
    ->wrapperAttr(['class' => 'f-custom-class']) !!}

Without errors:

<div class="f-group f-custom-class">
    <label for="name">Name <i class="f-required">*</i></label>    
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="Barney" maxlength="50">
</div>

With errors (retrieve from Laravel validation):

<div class="f-group f-custom-class f-error">
    <label for="name">Name <i class="f-required">*</i></label>    
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="Barney" maxlength="50">
    <ul class="f-error-message">
        <li>Name is required</li>
    </ul>
</div>

You can override default CSS class in config/form.php.

Important: Laravel Form can handle HTML generation and client side validation only. You need to manage server side validation on your own.

Elements

input

{!! Form::create('email', 'name')
    ->label('Email')
    ->value('[e-mail]')
    ->placeholder('[e-mail]')
    ->required()
    ->wrapperAttr(['class' => 'custom-class']) !!}

textarea

{!! Form::create('textarea', 'name')
    ->label('Name')
    ->value('Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit.') !!}

radio

{!! Form::create('radio', 'gender')->label('Gender')
    ->addRadio(1, 'Male', 'male')
    ->addRadio(0, 'Female', 'female')
    ->wrapperAttr(['class' => 'custom-class'])
    ->value(0) !!}

Specific methods :

• addRadio($value, $label, $id, $attr = [])

select

{!! Form::create('select', 'fruits')
    ->label("Fruits")
    ->placeholder("What's your favorite?")
    ->addOptions(['apple' => 'Apple', 'strawberry' => 'Strawberry', 'melon' => 'Melon'])
    ->value('apple') !!}

Specific methods :

• addOptions(array $options)

checkbox

{!! Form::create('checkbox', 'cgu')
    ->label("I accept the general terms and conditions")
    ->value(true) !!}

You can use ->attr(['value' => '1']) to change the value of the checkbox

AntiSpam feature

Honeypot

{!! Form::honeypot("unicorn_mail") !!}

Will create an input text with name='unicorn_mail' within a hidden div (by javascript)

Validation

$request->validate([
    [...]
    'unicorn_mail' => 'honeypot',
]);

TimeTrap

{!! Form::timetrap("unicorn_time") !!}

Will create an input text with name='unicorn_time' and value="{encryptedTimestamp}" within a hidden div (by javascript)

Validation

$request->validate([
    [...]
    'unicorn_time' => 'timetrap:2',
]);

In this example, timetrap time is set to 2 seconds. If no value is set, config form.antiSpam.minFormSubmitTime is taken. Finally if config form.antiSpam.minFormSubmitTime is not set, default value is 3 seconds.

Styling

Bellow, you will find default styles that can work with Laravel Form.

.f-group {
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
}

.f-group label {
  margin-bottom: .5rem;    
}

.f-required {
  color: #c0392b;
  font-weight: bold;
}

.f-error input {
  border: 1px solid #c0392b;
}

.f-error-message {
  margin-top: 4px;
  color: #c0392b;
}
