Getting started
Former is to be used as a View helper – meaning it provides for you a class that you can use directly in your views to output HTML code.
<?= Former::open()->method('GET') ?>
<?= Former::text('name')->required() ?>
<?= Former::close() ?>
If you're using Twig or other more closed view templating systems, you can still use Former's classes outside :
$form = Former::open()->method('GET');
$form .= Former::text('name')->required();
$form .= Former::close();
Clone the laravel3
branch of the repo in your bundles
folder and add 'former' => array('auto' => true)
to your bundles file.
Then add as an alias 'Former' => 'Former\Facades\Former'
in your application file and you're good to go !
Installing Former is easy as hell. Add the following to your composer.json
:
"anahkiasen/former": "dev-master"
Add Former's service provider to your Laravel application in app/config/app.php
. In the providers
array add :
'Former\FormerServiceProvider',
Add then alias Former's main class by adding its facade to the aliases
array in the same file :
'Former' => 'Former\Facades\Former',
Simply do artisan package:install anahkiasen/former:dev-master
Same as for Laravel 4, add Former to your Composer file. Then do this :
use Former\Facades\Former;
And you're done.
