The package provides a set of widgets to help with dynamic server-side generation of HTML forms.
The following widgets are available out of the box:
- input fields: `Checkbox`, `CheckboxList`, `Color`, `Date`, `DateTimeLocal`, `Email`, `File`, `Hidden`, `Image`,
`Number`, `Password`, `RadioList`, `Range`, `Select`, `Telephone`, `Text`, `Textarea`, `Time`, `Url`;
- buttons: `Button`, `ResetButton`, `SubmitButton`;
- group widgets: `ButtonGroup`, `Fieldset`.
- other: `ErrorSummary`.
These themes are available out of the box:
- Bootstrap 5 Horizontal,
- Bootstrap 5 Vertical.
## Requirements
- PHP 8.1 - 8.5.
## Installation
The package could be installed with composer:
```shell
composer require yiisoft/form
```
## General usage
Configure themes (optional):
```php
use Yiisoft\Form\ThemeContainer;
use Yiisoft\Form\ThemePath;
ThemeContainer::initialize(
config: [
'vertical' => require ThemePath::BOOTSTRAP5_VERTICAL,
'horizontal' => require ThemePath::BOOTSTRAP5_HORIZONTAL,
],
defaultConfig: 'vertical',
);
```
... and use `Field` helper to create widgets:
```php
use Yiisoft\Form\PureField\Field;
echo Field::text('firstName', theme: 'horizontal')->label('First Name')->autofocus();
echo Field::text('lastName', theme: 'horizontal')->label('Last Name');
echo Field::color('favoriteColor')->label('Favorite Color')->value('#3498db');
echo Field::select('sex')->label('Sex')->optionsData(['m' => 'Male', 'f' => 'Female'])->prompt('—');
echo Field::number('age')->label('Age')->hint('Please enter your age.');
echo Field::submitButton('Submit')->buttonClass('primary');
```
The result of executing the code above will be:
```html
Please enter your age.
```
