Usage

Form opening and closing

The form::open component is used to create a form. It accepts various attributes such as method, action, and enctype.

<x-form::open method="POST" action="/submit">
    <x-form::text name="name" label="Name" required />
    <x-form::email name="email" label="Email" type="email" required />
    <x-form::textarea name="message" label="Message" required />
    
    <x-form::input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</x-form::open>

Form model

The form::model component can also be used with a model. This allows you to bind the form fields to the model's attributes. You can provide array, object, or collection data to the form.

<x-form::model method="POST" action="/submit" :model="$user">
    <x-form::text name="name" label="Name" required />
    <x-form::email name="email" label="Email" type="email" required />
    <x-form::textarea name="message" label="Message" required />
    
    <x-form::input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</x-form::model>

Form fields

The library provides various form fields such as text, email, password, textarea, select, checkbox, radio, and file input. Each field can be customized with attributes like name, label, value, placeholder, and more.

Text input

<x-form::text name="username" label="Username" placeholder="Enter your username" required />

Email input

<x-form::email name="email" label="Email" placeholder="Enter your email" required />

Password input

<x-form::password name="password" label="Password" placeholder="Enter your password" required />

Textarea

<x-form::textarea name="message" label="Message" placeholder="Enter your message" required />

Select

<x-form::select name="country" label="Country" :options="$countries" required />

Checkbox

<x-form::checkbox name="terms" label="I agree to the terms and conditions" required />

Old input values

The library automatically handles old input values. If the form is submitted and validation fails, the old input values will be repopulated in the form fields. This is done using the old() helper function in Laravel.
