### Forms-mongoose allows auto-generation of forms from your Mongoose models

http://search.npmjs.org/#/forms-mongoose

### Example

#### Mongoose

```javascript

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var Email = mongoose.SchemaTypes.Email;

var forms = require('forms-mongoose');

var AddressSchema = new Schema({

  category: {type: String, required: true, default: 'home', forms: {all:{}}},

  lines: {type: String, required: true, forms:{all:{widget:forms.widgets.textarea({rows:3})}}},

  city: {type: String, required: true}  

});

var PersonSchema = new Schema({

  email: { type: Email, unique: true, forms: {

    all: {

      type: 'email'

    }

  }},

  confirmed: { type: Boolean, required: true, default: false },

  name: {

    first: { type: String, required: true, forms: {

      new: {},

      edit: {}

    }},

    last: { type: String, required: true, forms: {

      new: {},

      edit: {}

    }}

  },

  address: [AddressSchema]

});

var PersonModel = mongoose.model('Person', PersonSchema);

```

#### Convert Mongoose Model to Forms Object

```javascript

var forms = require('forms-mongoose');

var form = forms.create(PersonModel, 'new'); // Creates a new form for a "new" Person

// Use the form object as you would with Forms

console.log (form.toHTML());

// Note toHTML does not include the  tags, this is to allow flexibility.

//optionally create some static methods in the schema

PersonSchema.statics.createForm = function (extra) {

  return forms.create(this, extra);

}

PersonSchema.statics.createAddressForm = function (extra) {

  return forms.create(this.schema.paths.address, extra);

}

```
