(The title is not meant to be derogatory. My last name is Midget and it's named after myself.)

I put together a library for use with CI that makes form generation really simple - especially in combination with IgnitedRecord.

I have a link for it at here (hosted on my web design company site) where you can download the library as well as a CodeIgniter-inspired instruction manual.

The goals of this library are:

1. Automate form generation with validation
2. Make updating records and creating new ones as simple as possible
3. Have an all-in-one interface for forms that automatically loads them, validates them, loads what to do upon validation success, and what to do after that all in one, nice object-oriented interface.
4. Be highly configurable
5. Incorporate IgnitedRecord
6. Make life in general easier. (It's difficult enough as it is.)

The biggest limitation on this release is no support for checkbox groups and radio groups. It's something I am going to address very quickly (probably next week), but if your forms don't require that, as many don't, then it the library is very usable right now.

Please feel free to play around with it and let me know what you think. I am going to set up subversion for it next week with public trunk access. Anyone who's interested on really working on this with me, feel free to contact me and I can make you a SVN account for updating and stuff.

I feel pretty passionate about getting this to the big 1.0 release because I want my life easier.
