Symfony forms for concrete5

This is a composer package that provides the possibility to use Symfony forms within concrete5. The advantages are obvious if you have read anything about them but to list a few:, _(*1)

• Automatic form tags generation based on the defined fields
• Automatic CSRF validation
• Automatic field errors based on the defined validators
• Automatic saving of forms directly into Doctrine entities
• Less things to worry about in your controller logic
• Streamlining your development pipeline with single pages
• Making developing single page views with forms a lot faster
• Less bugs in your code due to the nature of generalized and well tested components

This package depends on the twig templates package for building the form views:, _(*2)
