README

Form decorators and view helpers which render Zend Framework 1 forms with Bootstrap 5 markup.

The library is the successor of zfbase/zend1-bootstrap3: the PHP API is the same, the classes are named Twitter_Bootstrap5_* and the generated markup is Bootstrap 5.

composer require zfbase/zend1-bootstrap5

Include library/Twitter/Bootstrap5/patch.css (or the same rules in your styles): Bootstrap 5 has no .form-group, .form-inline and warning state, which the library uses.

Form types

class Application_Form_Example extends Twitter_Bootstrap5_Form_Vertical // or _Horizontal, _Inline
{
    public function init()
    {
        $this->addElement('email', 'email', array(
            'label' => 'Email',
            'description' => 'We\'ll never share your email',
        ));

        $this->addElement('text', 'price', array(
            'label' => 'Price',
            'addon_prepend' => '$',
            'addon_append' => '<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button">Go</button>',
        ));

        $this->addElement('checkbox', 'remember', array(
            'label' => 'Remember me',
        ));

        $this->addElement('radio', 'radio', array(

<form enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="form-horizontal" method="post">
    <div class="form-group row">
        <label for="email" class="required col-form-label col-sm-2">Email</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="email" name="email" id="email" value="" class="form-control">
            <div class="form-text">We'll never share your email</div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group row">
        <label for="price" class="optional col-form-label col-sm-2">Price</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <div class="input-group">
                <span class="input-group-text">$</span>
                <input type="text" name="price" id="price" value="" class="form-control">

            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group row">
        <div class="col-sm-10 offset-sm-2">
            <div class="form-check">
                <input type="hidden" name="remember" value="0">
                <input type="checkbox" name="remember" id="remember" value="1" class="form-check-input">
                <label class="form-check-label" for="remember">Remember me</label>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group row">
        <label for="radio" class="optional col-form-label col-sm-2">Radio</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <div class="form-check form-check-inline">
                <input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio-a" value="a" class="form-check-input">
                <label class="form-check-label" for="radio-a">A</label>
            </div>
            <div class="form-check form-check-inline">
                <input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio-b" value="b" class="form-check-input">
                <label class="form-check-label" for="radio-b">B</label>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group row">
        <div class="col-sm-10 offset-sm-2">
            <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Sign in" class="btn btn-primary">
        </div>
    </div>
</form>

The sizes of the label and controls columns are set by the dimensionLabel (default sm-2) and dimensionControls (default sm-10) element attributes; dimension wraps the whole element into a column. A size is a breakpoint and a number of columns, several sizes are separated by spaces or commas: sm-4, lg-3. Offsets are written as offset-sm-2; Bootstrap 3 notation (col-xs-6, col-sm-offset-2) is converted too. Other tokens are added as is, so custom classes may be mixed in.

Inline form (Twitter_Bootstrap5_Form_Inline)

<form enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="form-inline" method="post">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="email" class="visually-hidden required">Email</label>
        <input type="email" name="email" id="email" value="" class="form-control">
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="price" class="visually-hidden optional">Price</label>
        <div class="input-group">
            <span class="input-group-text">$</span>
            <input type="text" name="price" id="price" value="" class="form-control">
            <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="button">Go</button>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="form-check">
            <input type="hidden" name="remember" value="0">
            <input type="checkbox" name="remember" id="remember" value="1" class="form-check-input">
            <label class="form-check-label" for="remember">Remember me</label>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="radio" class="visually-hidden optional">Radio</label>
        <div class="form-check form-check-inline">
            <input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio-a" value="a" class="form-check-input">
            <label class="form-check-label" for="radio-a">A</label>
        </div>
        <div class="form-check form-check-inline">
            <input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio-b" value="b" class="form-check-input">
            <label class="form-check-label" for="radio-b">B</label>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Sign in" class="btn btn-primary">
    </div>
</form>

Validation state

After isValid() the controls of the invalid elements get the .is-invalid class and the errors are rendered as .invalid-feedback; the controls of the valid elements get .is-valid (disable with setMarkValidElements(false)). Warnings ('warning' element attribute) are rendered as .warning-feedback and the controls get .is-warning. The element container gets has-error, has-warning or has-success class for styling labels.

Buttons

button and reset without own style get btn-secondary, submit gets btn-primary. Defaults can be changed:

Twitter_Bootstrap5_View_Helper_FormButton::$defaultClass = 'btn-outline-secondary';
Twitter_Bootstrap5_View_Helper_FormReset::$defaultClass = 'btn-outline-secondary';
Twitter_Bootstrap5_View_Helper_FormSubmit::$defaultClass = 'btn-success';

Migration from zend1-bootstrap3

• Rename Twitter_Bootstrap3_ to Twitter_Bootstrap5_.
• select gets .form-select instead of .form-control, checkboxes get .form-check-input.
• Labels get .form-label (vertical) and .col-form-label (horizontal) instead of .control-label; descriptions are rendered as div.form-text instead of p.help-block; errors as ul.invalid-feedback instead of ul.help-block.
• Checkboxes and radios are rendered as .form-check (.form-check-inline for 'inline' => true) with the label after the input instead of .checkbox/.radio with the input inside the label. label_class and wrapper_class attributes are still supported.
• Addons are rendered as .input-group-text; buttons, links and selects passed as addons are placed into the group as is.
• note/static elements are rendered with .form-control-plaintext.
• Decorators Feedback and Feedback_State (state icons) are removed, validation state is shown with .is-valid/.is-invalid of the controls.
