CI4 Form Builder Lib - rafaelwendel - 06-24-2023
Hi there,
I developed a lib called "Ci4FormBuilder", which helps to create forms (and their components) in an object-oriented way. The repository and documentation can be accessed at the following link.

Suggestions are welcome!

Good news, thanks for sharing.

I think this approach complicates the work with forms. In fact, this is a wrapper over helpers.
Does this solution have any advantage?

Hello IRedds,
I developed this lib for a personal project, and it helped me in aspects like:
- Define (or edit) the forms template and its components in an easier way, like before and after <form> tag (to add for example an alert with success/error message of a submit), before and after each field, styles of message validation errors, ...
- Easy to set the field structure (with its label, and inside a "<div>"). If necessary, I change the template and all fields will be changed (or each field can be its own template)
- Set the field values just by passing
PHP Code:
$this->request->getPost()
PHP Code:
$userModel->find(1)
- Just set
PHP Code:
$validation->getErrors()
Anyway. I hope it can be an a good alternative!
Thanks!

Thank you for sharing!
This is an OOP way to build forms.
It would help coding when we don't like to write HTML forms in Views.

But the same can be done in a simple template with helpers.
