# Laravel 5 form builder
[](https://gitter.im/kristijanhusak/laravel-form-builder?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
Form builder for Laravel 5 inspired by Symfony's form builder. With help of Laravels FormBuilder class creates forms that can be easy modified and reused.
By default it supports Bootstrap 3.
## Laravel 4
For Laravel 4 version check [laravel4-form-builder](https://github.com/kristijanhusak/laravel4-form-builder).
## Bootstrap 4 support
To use bootstrap 4 instead of bootstrap 3, install [laravel-form-builder-bs4](https://github.com/ycs77/laravel-form-builder-bs4).
## Upgrade to 1.6
If you upgraded to `>1.6.*` from `1.5.*` or earlier, and having problems with form value binding, rename `default_value` to `value`.
More info in [changelog](https://github.com/kristijanhusak/laravel-form-builder/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).

## Installation
### Using Composer
```sh
composer require kris/laravel-form-builder
```
Or manually by modifying `composer.json` file:
``` json
{
"require": {
"kris/laravel-form-builder": "1.*"
}
}
```
And run `composer install`
Then add Service provider to `config/app.php`
``` php
'providers' => [
// ...
Kris\LaravelFormBuilder\FormBuilderServiceProvider::class
]
```
And Facade (also in `config/app.php`)
``` php
'aliases' => [
// ...
'FormBuilder' => Kris\LaravelFormBuilder\Facades\FormBuilder::class
]
```
**Notice**: This package will add `laravelcollective/html` package and load aliases (Form, Html) if they do not exist in the IoC container.
## Quick start
Creating form classes is easy. With a simple artisan command:
```sh
php artisan make:form Forms/SongForm --fields="name:text, lyrics:textarea, publish:checkbox"
```
Form is created in path `app/Forms/SongForm.php` with content:
```php
add('name', Field::TEXT, [
'rules' => 'required|min:5'
])
->add('lyrics', Field::TEXTAREA, [
'rules' => 'max:5000'
])
->add('publish', Field::CHECKBOX);
}
}
```
If you want to instantiate empty form without any fields, just skip passing `--fields` parameter:
```sh
php artisan make:form Forms/PostForm
```
Gives:
```php
create(\App\Forms\SongForm::class, [
'method' => 'POST',
'url' => route('song.store')
]);
return view('song.create', compact('form'));
}
public function store(FormBuilder $formBuilder)
{
$form = $formBuilder->create(\App\Forms\SongForm::class);
if (!$form->isValid()) {
return redirect()->back()->withErrors($form->getErrors())->withInput();
}
// Do saving and other things...
}
}
```
Alternative example:
```php
create(SongForm::class, [
'method' => 'POST',
'url' => route('song.store')
]);
return view('song.create', compact('form'));
}
public function store(FormBuilder $formBuilder)
{
$form = $formBuilder->create(SongForm::class);
if (!$form->isValid()) {
return redirect()->back()->withErrors($form->getErrors())->withInput();
}
// Do saving and other things...
}
}
```
If you want to store a model after a form submit considerating all fields are model properties:
```php
create(\App\Forms\SongForm::class);
$form->redirectIfNotValid();
SongForm::create($form->getFieldValues());
// Do redirecting...
}
```
You can only save properties you need:
```php
create(\App\Forms\SongForm::class);
$form->redirectIfNotValid();
$songForm = new SongForm();
$songForm->fill($request->only(['name', 'artist'])->save();
// Do redirecting...
}
```
Or you can update any model after form submit:
```php
getForm($songForm);
$form->redirectIfNotValid();
$songForm->update($form->getFieldValues());
// Do redirecting...
}
```
Create the routes
```php
// app/Http/routes.php
Route::get('songs/create', [
'uses' => 'SongsController@create',
'as' => 'song.create'
]);
Route::post('songs', [
'uses' => 'SongsController@store',
'as' => 'song.store'
]);
```
Print the form in view with `form()` helper function:
```html
@extends('app')
@section('content')
{!! form($form) !!}
@endsection
```
Go to `/songs/create`; above code will generate this html:
```html
Name
Lyrics
Publish
```
Or you can generate forms easier by using simple array
```php
createByArray([
[
'name' => 'name',
'type' => Field::TEXT,
],
[
'name' => 'lyrics',
'type' => Field::TEXTAREA,
],
[
'name' => 'publish',
'type' => Field::CHECKBOX
],
]
,[
'method' => 'POST',
'url' => route('song.store')
]);
return view('song.create', compact('form'));
}
}
```
