Semantic Form

SensioLabsInsight Travis Coverage Status

Semantic UI form builder, for Laravel.

Installation

$ composer require laravolt/semantic-form

API

Note: You can use either facade Form::method() or helper form()->method().

Opening Form

Form::open('search'); // action="search"
Form::open()->get();
Form::open()->post();
Form::open()->put();
Form::open()->patch();
Form::open()->delete();
Form::open(); // default to method="GET"
Form::open()->action('search');
Form::open()->url('search'); // alias for action()
Form::open()->route('route.name');
Form::open()->post()->action(route('comment.store'));

Opening Form (Short Syntax, Since 1.10)

Form::open('search'); // action="search" method=POST
Form::get('search'); // action="search" method=GET
Form::post('search'); // action="search" method=POST
Form::put('search'); // action="search" method=POST _method=PUT
Form::patch('search'); // action="search" method=POST _method=PATCH
Form::delete('search'); // action="search" method=POST _method=DELETE

CSRF Token

CSRF token will automatically generated if current form method is POST. To prevent token generation, you can call withoutToken() when opening a form.

Form::post('search')->withoutToken();

Text

Form::text($name, $value)->label('Username');

Number

Form::number($name, $integerValue)->label('Total');

Rupiah

Form::rupiah($name, $defaultValue = null)->label('Price');

Date

Form::date($name, $value)->label('Birthday');

Time

Form::time($name, $value)->label('Start Time');

Password

Form::password($name)->label('Password');

Email

Form::email($name, $value)->label('Email Address');

Textarea

Form::textarea($name, $value)->label('Note');

Select Box (Dropdown)

Form::select($name, $options)->label('Choose Country');
Form::select($name, $options, $selected)->label('Choose Country');
Form::select($name, $options)->placeholder('--Select--');
Form::select($name, $options)->appendOption($key, $label);
Form::select($name, $options)->prependOption($key, $label);

Select Date & Select Date Time

Form::selectDate('myDate', $startYear, $endYear)->label('Birth Date');
Form::selectDateTime('myDate', $startYear, $endYear, $intervalInMinute)->label('Schedule');

By default, selectDate and selectDateTime will post request as _myDate with ['date'=>4, 'month'=>5, 'year'=>2016] for example. To get 2016-5-4 format, you need to register middleware and use it in the routes.

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    'selectdate' => \Laravolt\SemanticForm\Middleware\SelectDateMiddleware::class,
    'selectdatetime' => \Laravolt\SemanticForm\Middleware\SelectDateTimeMiddleware::class
];

Route::post('myForm', ['middleware' => ['web', 'selectdate:myDate'], function (\Illuminate\Http\Request $request) {
	dd($request->input('myDate')); // Will output 2016-5-4
}]);

Select Range

Form::selectRange($name, $begin, $end)->label('Number of child');

Select Month

Form::selectMonth($name, $format = '%B')->label('Month');

Radio

$checked = true;
Form::radio($name, $value, $checked)->label('Item Label');

Radio Group

$values = ['apple' => 'Apple', 'banana' => 'Banana'];
$checkedValue = 'banana';
Form::radioGroup($name, $values, $checkedValue)->label('Select Fruit');

Checkbox

Form::checkbox($name, $value, $checked)->label('Remember Me');

Checkbox Group

$values = ['apple' => 'Apple', 'banana' => 'Banana'];
$checkedValue = 'banana';
Form::checkboxGroup($name, $values, $checkedValue)->label('Select Fruit');

File

Form::file($name);

Input Wrapper

Form::input($name, $defaultvalue);
Form::input($name, $defaultvalue)->appendIcon('search');
Form::input($name, $defaultvalue)->prependIcon('users');
Form::input($name, $defaultvalue)->appendLabel($label);
Form::input($name, $defaultvalue)->prependLabel($label);
Form::input($name, $defaultvalue)->type("password");

Datepicker

Form::datepicker($name, $value, $format);

// Valid $format are:
// DD -> two digit date
// MM -> two digit month number
// MMMM -> month name (localized)
// YY -> two digit year
// YYYY -> full year

// To convert localized format to standard (SQL) datetime format, you can use Jenssegers\Date\Date library (already included):
// Jenssegers\Date\Date::createFromFormat('d F Y', '12 februari 2000')->startOfDay()->toDateTimeString();
// Jenssegers\Date\Date::createFromFormat('d F Y', '12 februari 2000')->startOfDay()->toDateString();

Timepicker

Form::timepicker($name, $value);

Hidden

Form::hidden($name, $value);

Button

Form::button($value);

Submit

Form::submit($value);

Model Binding

Version 1

{!! Form::bind($model) !!}

Version 2

// as parameter for method open()
{!! Form::open($route, $model) !!}

// or chaining it
{!! Form::bind($model)->get($route) !!}

Warning

// This is OK in version 1, but will produce error in version 2
{!! Form::bind($model) !!}

Macro

Macro definition, put it anywhere within your application, e.g. AppServiceProvider:

Form::macro('trix', function ($id, $name, $value = null) {
    return sprintf(
        "%s %s", 
        Form::hidden($name, $defaultValue)->id($id), 
        "<trix-editor input='{$id}'></trix-editor>"
    );
});

And then call it like any other method:

Form::trix('contentId', 'content', '<b>some content</b>');

Action

// Method 1

Form::action(Form::submit('Save'), Form::button('cancel'));

// Method 2

// Assumed you already define some macros:
Form::macro('submit', function(){
    return form()->submit('Submit');
});

Form::macro('cancel', function(){
    return form()->button('Cancel');
});

// Then you can just call macro name as string
Form::action('submit', 'cancel');

// Method 3

// Even further, you can define macro thats just wrap several buttons:
SemanticForm::macro('default', function(){
    return new \Laravolt\SemanticForm\Elements\Wrapper(form()->submit('Submit'), form()->submit('Submit'));
});

// And then make the call simplier:
Form::action('default');

General Function

For every form element, you can call and chaining following methods:

Override Hint class globally (Since 1.10.2)

// Put this on every request, e.g. in AppServiceProvider
Laravolt\SemanticForm\Elements\Hint::$defaultClass = 'custom-class';

Example

Form::text($name, $value)->label('Username')->id('username')->addClass('foo');
Form::text($name, $value)->label('Username')->data('url', 'http://id-laravel.com');
Form::password($name, $value)->label('Password')->hint('Minimum 6 characters');
Form::password($name, $value)->label('Password')->hint('Minimum 6 characters', 'my-custom-css-class');
