Forms

Forms is a Laravel 5 package designed to facilitate the easy use of Bootstrap-compatible forms., _(*1)

Installation

Laravel Forms uses the [laravelcollective/html](https://laravelcollective.com/docs/5.3/html) and [benallfree/laravel-stapler-images](https://github.com/benallfree/laravel-stapler-images) packages. Configure these first by following their package instructions., _(*2)

In app/config.php:, _(*3)

Add, _(*4)

'providers' => [
  // Laravel Stapler Images
  BenAllfree\LaravelStaplerImages\LaravelStaplerImagesServiceProvider::class,
  Codesleeve\LaravelStapler\Providers\L5ServiceProvider::class,

  // Laravel HTML
  Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,

  // Laravel Forms
  BenAllfree\Forms\FormsServiceProvider::class,
]

Alias the models:, _(*5)

'aliases' => [
  // Laravel Stapler Images
  'Image' => BenAllfree\LaravelStaplerImages\Image::class,
  'Attachment' => BenAllfree\LaravelStaplerImages\Attachment::class,

  // Laravel HTML
  'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
  'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,

  // Carbon
  'Carbon'=>Carbon\Carbon::class,
]

Then publish:, _(*6)

./artisan vendor:publish

Laravel Forms requires Bootstrap for form fields to render properly. Additionally, specific field types require other dependencies:, _(*7)

markdownarea - requires SimpleMDE
date - requires bootstrap-datepicker
image - requires laravel-stapler-images

Either include these separately or check the resources/bower_components folder in this repository for compatible versions of all JS dependencies., _(*8)

Usage

{!! Form::open(['files'=>true]) !!}
@include('forms.markdownarea', ['obj'=>$obj, 'name'=>'fieldName', 'placeholder'=>'This is the label'])
{!! Form::close() !!}
