Form::() !!}` or `{{ Form::() }}`, then analyzes arguments to determine the HTML tag attributes. - [Installation](#installation) - [Usage](#usage) Installation ------------ [](#installation) With Composer, as dev dependency: ``` composer require axn/laravelcollective-form-to-raw-html --dev ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Simply run this command: ``` php artisan laravelcollective-form-to-raw-html:run ``` By default, the command scans all files in `resources/views/`. You can precise an other directory: ``` php artisan laravelcollective-form-to-raw-html:run resources/views/admin/users ``` Or a single file: ``` php artisan laravelcollective-form-to-raw-html:run resources/views/admin/users/create.blade.php ``` **NOTE:** The target path is always relative to the project root. The supported methods are: - open(options) - close() - label(name, value, options, escape) - labelRequired(name, value, options, escape) **(AXN-Informatique macro)** - hiddenForm(options) **(AXN-Informatique macro)** - input(type, name, value, options) - text(name, value, options) - number(name, value, options) - date(name, value, options) - time(name, value, options) - datetime(name, value, options) - week(name, value, options) - month(name, value, options) - range(name, value, options) - search(name, value, options) - email(name, value, options) - tel(name, value, options) - url(name, value, options) - color(name, value, options) - hidden(name, value, options) - checkbox(name, value, checked, options) - radio(name, value, checked, options) - file(name, options) - password(name, options) - textarea(name, value, options) - select(name, list, selected, options) - button(name, options) - submit(name, options) If a method is not supported, there is no replacement. Warnings and limitations ------------------------ [](#warnings-and-limitations) Escaped echo without double-encode ---------------------------------- [](#escaped-echo-without-double-encode) LaravelCollective internally used most of the time escaped echo without double-encode: ``` e($value, false) ``` This prevents the encoded HTML entities from being encoded a second time (`&` => `&amp;`) For example: ``` {!! e('Name & firstname', false) !!} ``` The HTML result will be: ``` <strong>Name & firstname</strong> ``` For simplicity and clarity purpose, this package use regular Blade echo syntax instead of escaped echo without double-encode. If you want to keep the original behavior of LaravelCollective, use `--escape-without-double-encode` option to the command. So instead of escaping this way: ``` {{ $value }} ``` The values ​​will be escaped like this: ``` {!! e($value, false) !!} ``` Automatically retrieve field value ---------------------------------- [](#automatically-retrieve-field-value) LaravelCollective has a complex method to automatically retrieve the value of the field: it searches in "old" values and in the request. You can see it in the `getValueAttribute` method of the `FormBuilder` class. This was to complex to implement entirely, so the converter only handles the value retrieving from the "old" values. For example: ``` {!! Form::text('name') !!} ``` Will be replaced by: ``` ``` If you have fields with name as array, the converter will replace the array syntax by dot syntax for the `old` helper like LaravelCollective do. For example: ``` {!! Form::text('name[0]') !!} ``` Will be replaced by: ``` ``` If you already used `old` helper in the `Form::` syntax, the converter will detect it and not doubling the use of the "old" helper. **WARNING 1:** If a part of the name is in a variable (for example `Form::text('name['.$index.']')`), the converter will integrate the replacement function into the output result like this: ``` ``` **WARNING 2:** If you have fields with name as array but with no explicit key (for example `name[]`), the converter cannot determine what index to use to get the proper value and will simply render `old('name')` instead of `old('name.')`. You may need to check these cases to manually set the proper way to retrieve the value (for example: `old('name.0')`). Automatically determine radio and checkbox checked state -------------------------------------------------------- [](#automatically-determine-radio-and-checkbox-checked-state) Like for value retrieving, the converter only handles the checked state retrieving from the "old" values. It uses `in_array`in case where the "old" value is multiple. For example: ``` {!! Form::checkbox('name[]') !!} ``` Will be replaced by: ``` ``` If a default checked state is specify, for example: ``` {!! Form::checkbox('name[]', '1', true) !!} ``` It will appear like this: ``` ``` Select with optgroup -------------------- [](#select-with-optgroup) The `Form::select` method accepts grouped arrays of options to render ``. This feature was to complex to implement: this would have required to add to much code in the HTML replacement whose will be not needed 99% of the time (unless you heavy used optgroups). The converter cannot detect if the `list` argument contains groups so it is not possible to detect cases where optgroups are used. You may need to manually review these cases. However, the converter can detect if `optionsAttributes` or `optgroupsAttributes` arguments of `Form::builder` have been used. If so, the corresponding `Form::select` will not be replaced. Comments -------- [](#comments) If there are comments in the original syntax, the converter will erase these but the original syntax will be preserve in a comment for manual check. You can retrieve these cases by searching for `@TODO CHECK COMMENTS`. For example: ``` {!! Form::text('name', null, [ 'class' => 'form-control', // 'required', ]) !!} ``` Will be replaced by: ``` {{-- @TODO CHECK COMMENTS: {!! Form::text('name', null, [ 'class' => 'form-control', // 'required', ]) !!} --}} ``` Not regular array syntax for options ------------------------------------ [](#not-regular-array-syntax-for-options) If the options argument is not a regular array, the converter will process the replacement of the `Form::` syntax but will preserve the options in a comment for manual check and manual replacements of the HTML tag attributes. You can retrieve these cases by searching for `@TODO CHECK OPTIONS`. For example: ``` {!! Form::text('name', null, array_merge($defaultOptions, [ 'size' => 50, 'required', ]) ) !!} ``` Will be replaced by: ``` 50, 'required', ]) --}} > ``` Date fields ----------- [](#date-fields) LaravelCollective `date`, `time`, `datetime`, `week` and `month` methods support a `DateTime` instance as value and format this internally. The converter cannot detect the value type so you may need to review these cases if `DateTime` instances have been used as value argument of these methods. ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance54 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity24 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 66.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
