Form

A form helper

Building Forms

$form = \Sinevia\Form::build($fields)->toHtml();

Validating Forms

$isValidOrErrors = \Sinevia\Form::validate($fields);

Fields

The field is an associative array consisting of the following key-value pairs:

• type - one of text, textarea, select, hidden, html
• name - name of the input field as seen in the request
• label - publicly visible name
• width - width of the field - min 1, max 12
• rule - rules for the field, used when validating
• value - value of the field
• options - array of options (used by the select type)
• html - raw HTML to be displayed as-is (used by the html type)

Example:

[
    'type' => 'text',
    'name' => 'FirstName',
    'label' => 'First name',
    'width' => 6,
    'rule' => 'required',
    'value' => $value,
]
