Usage

Here are the current tags available and how to best utilize them.

Text Field

Only the first parameter is required.

Variations available are mwitext, mwitextarea, mwidate, mwidaterange, mwiemail, mwipass and mwinumber.

Form::mwitext('field_name')
Form::mwitext('field_name_two', $default_value, ['class' => 'class-name'], 'Custom Label')

// No default value with attributes
Form::mwitext('name', null, ['class' => 'class-name'])

Radio Options

Form::mwiradio('Set Label', 'field_name', ['option_one', 'option_two'], 'option_one', ['class' => 'class-name'])

Select Field

Variations available are mwiselect and mwifilter.

Form::mwiselect('field_name', $options)
Form::mwiselect('field_name_two', ['this' => 'that', 'them' => 'they'], $default_value, ['class' => 'class-name'])

// No default value with attributes
Form::mwiselect('state', $options, null, ['class' => 'class-name'])

Structure

All tags are wrapped in a div.form-group and contain a label, input and error message container. It's recommended to additionally wrap elements in rows/grids as follows.

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
        {{ Form::mwitext('field_name', $field_value, $attributes) }}
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">
        {{ Form::mwitext('field2_name', $field2_value, ['required', 'class' => 'text-red']) }}
    </div>
</div>

Additionaly the password field already contains col-6 grids, so...

<div class="row">
    {{ Form::mwipass('password', ['required']) }}
</div>

Would produce...

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <div class="form-group">
            {{ Form::label('password', null, ['class' => 'control-label']) }}
            {{ Form::password('password', ['class' => 'form-control', 'id' => 'password', 'required']) }}
            <small class="help-block">{{ $errors->first('password') }}</small>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <div class="form-group">
            {{ Form::label('password_confirmation', null, ['class' => 'control-label']) }}
            {{ Form::password('password_confirmation' . '_confirmation', ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
            <small class="help-block">{{ $errors->first('password_confirmation') }}</small>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
