This is designed to be a plug-and-play extension, without requiring you to change your existing forms on your website. This includes all forms such as login forms, password reset forms, as well as any other form you have created. It extends `FormField` to try provide a transparent "manipulation" of the rendered form fields, adding some bootstrap CSS to the rendered fields. It does not produce [bootstrap-specific html](http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms) for your forms. `FormField` unfortunately only has a `$this->extend('onBeforeRender', $this);` in `Field` that allows manipulation of the field itself, and not the parent field\_holder. This allows only a very limited amount of flexibility, and prevents an extension from changing the field\_holder. Form submit buttons get a `btn btn-primary` class added, and any other buttons get a `btn btn-default` class added. Forms will still need some additional CSS styling (to set spacing) as the form's field\_holders cannot be modified to the limitations mentioned above. Features -------- [](#features) It adds the `form-control` CSS class to all front-end: - TextField (and extended classes) - TextAreaField - DropdownField It renders CheckboxSetField & OptionsetField with different field templates (see templates/Forms). It does **not**: - Modify field holders (`onBeforeRender()` does not allow that) - Support FieldGroup (you'll need to use CSS to do that) - Apply bootstrap-specific CSS classes to form messages Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Silverstripe ^4 || ^5 Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Install via Composer [](#install-via-composer) You can install it via composer with `composer require axllent/silverstripe-bootstrap-forms` Basic usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) Simply install (and flush), add the checkbox CSS to your styles and you're good to go. ### Health Score 39 — LowBetter than 86% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity35 Limited adoption so far Community20 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity69 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 91.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
