Laravel form elements for quick prototyping
===========================================

[](#laravel-form-elements-for-quick-prototyping)

This package provides form elements for **Laravel 4.2**, which are styled with [Bootstrap 3](http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms).

- shows first error message in help text area
- labels the input with the error class
- automatically repopulates the form elements

There is a demo page included in this package: use `View::make('bselements::demopage')`.

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
{{ BsForm::useViewErrorBag($errors) }}
{{ BsForm::info('Info', 'Infotext', array()) }}
{{ BsForm::text('text', 'Text') }}
{{ BsForm::textAddon('left', 'Demo', 'textaddon1', 'Text-Addon') }}
{{ BsForm::textAddon('right', 'Demo', 'textaddon2', 'Text-Addon') }}
{{ BsForm::password('password', 'Password') }}
{{ BsForm::file('file', 'File') }}
{{ BsForm::select('select', 'Select', array(''=>'-- Choose --','s1'=>'Select 1','s2'=>'Select 2','s3'=>'Select 3')) }}
{{ BsForm::textarea('textarea', 'Textarea') }}
{{ BsForm::radioGroup('radiogroup', 'radioGroup', array('r1'=>'1','r2'=>'2','r3'=>'3')) }}
{{ BsForm::checkboxGroup('checkboxGroup', array('c1'=>'one','c2'=>'two','c3'=>'three')) }}
```
