## Installation

You can install the package via composer:

```bash
composer require okipa/laravel-form-components
```

## Configuration

You can publish the config file with:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=form-components:config
```

Among its configurations, this package allows you to choose which UI framework will be use.

Please note that you'll have to install and configure the UI framework you want to use before using this package.

## Views

You can publish the package views to customize them if necessary:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=form-components:views
```

## Components

### Form

Components can be wrapped into a form component.

If no custom method is set, a `GET` method will be set by default.

Hidden CSRF and spoofing method fields will be automatically generated when needed, according to the defined form method :
* You won't need to define a `@method()` directive, declare your `PUT`, `PATCH` or `DELETE` action directly in the `action` attribute
* You won't need to define a `@csrf()` directive, it will be automatically declared with `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH` and `DELETE` actions

Forms are generated with a default `novalidate` HTML attribute, which is preventing browser validation in favor of a server-side validation (which is a good practice for security matters).

```Blade


...

```

### Input and Textarea

Add inputs and textarea into your forms.

If you don't set a custom type to an input, it will take a default `text` type.

Radio, checkbox and button inputs must be used with their own components because of their different behaviour.

Textarea component can be used the same way as an input component but without declaring a type.

```Blade

...

```

### Select

Set select components in your forms.

Auto generate options by providing an associative value/label array.

HTML select elements natively don't accept placeholder attributes, however the select component allows you to handle a placeholder-like option is prepended to the other ones. This placeholder will behave [as for the other components](#manage-label-and-placeholder).

By default, this select placeholder option is selected, disabled and hidden. However, you'll be able to allow it to be selected in case you need to set a `nullable` field for example. To do that, just add the `allowPlaceholderToBeSelected` attribute to your component.

In multiple mode, this package will take care about converting the name into an array name, so you don't have to add it manually.

```Blade
@php($options = [1 => 'Laravel', 2 => 'Bootstrap', 3 => 'Tailwind', 4 => 'Livewire'])

{{-- You'll be able to selected the placeholder and the name will be converted to hobbies[] --}}
```

### Checkboxes, Toggle switches and Radios

Checkbox, toggle switch and radio components are available for you to use.

Because radio inputs are never used alone, you'll have to declare a required `group` attribute when using them, awaiting a value/label associative array from which the radio fields will be generated.

Regarding checkbox and toggle switch inputs, you will be able to use them in single or in group mode. To use them in group mode, you'll have to declare a `group` attribute too.

In group mode, this package will take care about converting the name into an array name, so you don't have to add it manually.

If you want to display these input components inline, just define an `inline` attribute.

```Blade
{{-- 1 generated checkbox --}}
{{-- 2 generated checkboxes --}}
{{-- 1 generated toggle switch with inline mode --}}
'Livewire']" :checked="livewire"/> {{-- 2 generated toggle switches --}}
{{-- 2 generated radios with inline mode --}}
```

### Buttons

Submit and link button components are available.

Submit button allows you to trigger a form and will provide a default `__('Submit')` body if none is defined.

Link button allows you to set actions like `Back` or `Cancel` in your forms by providing a link with a button-like display. As this component is an HTML link, it will provide a default title by analysing its body.

By default, both components will set a base background color if no custom class attribute is defined.

```Blade

...


Submit this form {{-- Will provide `btn-primary` class with Bootstrap UI --}}
{{-- Will auto-generate `title="Back"` --}}

Back

```

## How to

### Deal with attributes and classes

Provided component are built using [Blade components](https://laravel.com/docs/blade#components).

Following how Blade components work, you can set any HTML attributes and classes:
* Attributes will replace default ones
* Classes will be merged to existing ones

## Set id

Define components ids as you would do for any HTML element.

If no custom id is set, an id will be generated using the kebab cased `-` values.

```Blade
{{-- Default id: `input-first-name` --}}

{{-- Default id: `textarea-first-name` --}}
```

### Enable or disable inputs margin bottom

By default, all input components will declare a bottom margin in order to correctly position themselves in a form.

You'll sometimes need to disable this default bottom margin: you'll can do this by setting the `marginBottom` attribute to `false`.

```Blade
{{-- Will declare a bottom margin --}}

{{-- Will not declare any bottom margin --}}
```

### Manage label and placeholder

You can define labels on all input components (except for [Radio](#checkbox-switch-and-radio)).

If no custom label is defined, labels will take the `__('validation.attributes.)` default value.

Following the same behaviour, all input components that are allowing the use of a `placeholder` ([Select](#select) included) will provide a default placeholder that will take the `label` value.

You can override this default value by setting a custom placeholder.

You also can hide auto-generated label and placeholder by them to `false`.

```Blade
{{-- Will display the custom label and placeholder --}}
{{-- Will hide the label and placeholder --}}
{{-- Will display default auto-generated label and placeholder --}}
```

### Handle floating label displaying

This package allows you to enable or disable floating labels displaying.

You can set the global floating label behaviour with `config('form-components.floating_label')` config.

You will be able to override this global behaviour at form level for all contained components.

```Blade

{{-- Will display a floating label even if it has been disabled in config --}}

```

Finally, you'll also can override all other defined behaviour on components themselves.

```Blade

```

### Set addons

You can define `prepend` and `append` HTML addons on input and textarea components.

```Blade
"/>
"/>
```

Note: you may use HTML directly instead of components for complex addon's management.

### Bind data

You can bind Eloquent Models, objects, collections or arrays in order to autofill bound components values.

Binding data on the form component will trigger the binding of all of its contained components.

You can bind data directly on a component and override the form binding.

In case of validation error, components will be repopulated by old values that will override bound values.

For specific use case, you also can use the `@bind($boundDataBatch)` and the `@endbind` Blade directives to bind a group of components.

```blade
@php
$dataBatch1 = ['description' => 'A wonderful description'];
$dataBatch2 = ['first_name' => 'John', 'last_name' => 'Bonham'];
@endphp

{{-- Will set the value from `$user->email` --}}
{{-- Will set the value from `$dataBatch1['description`] --}}
@bind($dataBatch2)
{{-- Will set the value from `$dataBatch2['first_name`] --}}
{{-- Will set the value from `$dataBatch2['last_name`] --}}
@endbind

```

### Set custom value

Data binding can be overridden by setting custom values on components.

```blade
@php($data = ['description' => 'A wonderful description'];)

...
{{-- Will set the value from `$data['description`] --}}

```

### Handle validation statuses and errors

Components will be able to display or hide their success/error statuses and error message when a validation error is triggered:
* If the validation success displaying is activated, components will only be marked as valid when other components in the form are detected as invalid
* If the validation failure displaying is activated, components in error will be marked as invalid and will display their related error message

You can control this behaviour at different levels:
* Define the global default behaviour with `config('form-components.display_validation_success')` and `config('form-components.display_validation_failure')`
* Customize this behaviour on a form and apply it locally for all its contained components
* Set a specific behaviour directly on a component

```blade

{{-- Disabled success/error statuses and error message --}}
{{-- Enabled success/error statuses and error message --}}

```

You also can customize the error bag that should be used to determine components success/error statuses and error messages on form components.

```blade
{{-- Error bag for all components within the form --}}
@errorbag('group_error_bag') {{-- Error bag for a group of components --}}


@enderrorbag
{{-- Error bag for a specific component --}}
...

```

### Add captions

Help users and display additional instructions under you components by adding captions.

```Blade

```

### Activate multilingual mode

Activate multilingual mode on `input` and `textarea` components to benefit from the following features:
* Component duplication: one component per locale will be displayed
* Name localization: `name="description"` will be transformed into `name="description[]"`
* Default label and error message localization: `__(validation.attributes.name)` translation used to generate default label and error message will be appended with `()`

```Blade

```

### Plug with Livewire

Form and input components are Livewire-compatible.

Instead of defining a `wire:model` HTML attribute on each component you want to wire as you would do without this package, here you'll just have to define a `wire=""` HTML attribute to make this work.

Each wired input component will use its own `name` attribute and convert it to a valid `wire:model=""` one.

```Blade

{{-- Will not be wired --}}
{{-- Will bind the value from the Livewire component `$email` property with no defined Livewire modifier --}}
{{-- Will bind the value from the Livewire component `$description` property with the the `lazy` Livewire modifier --}}

```

Following the same logic, you also can wire input components directly from the form they are contained into.

```Blade

{{-- Will bind the value from the Livewire component `$email` property with no defined Livewire modifier --}}
{{-- Will bind the value from the Livewire component `$description` property with the the `lazy` Livewire modifier --}}

```

For specific use case, you also can use the `@wire($modifier)` and the `@endwire` Blade directives to wire a group of components with a specific Livewire modifier.

```Blade

{{-- Will bind the value from the Livewire component `$first_name` property with the `lazy` Livewire modifier --}}
@wire('debounce.150ms')
{{-- Will bind the value from the Livewire component `$last_name` property with the `debounce.150ms` Livewire modifier --}}
@endbind
@wire(null)
{{-- Will bind the value from the Livewire component `$email` property with no defined Livewire modifier --}}
{{-- Will bind the value from the Livewire component `$description` property with the the `lazy` Livewire modifier --}}
@endbind

```
