Konform - Simple form generator for Kohana 3.3+
===============================================

[](#konform---simple-form-generator-for-kohana-33)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

You'll need the [KOtal](https://github.com/Drarok/KOtal) module, as the views are written in PHPTAL.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Create a subclass of Konform (Konform\_Contact, for example).
- Set the $\_fields property up in your subclass (either in its \_init() method, or just at the top of the class).
- Create a messages/konform/contact.php file, and populate it with your error messages.
- Instantiate your class and use it (see below).
- Add some CSS to target these forms, and enjoy.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Here's a contact form, demonstrating each form element.

```
class Konform_Contact extends Konform
{
	/**
	 * Action (location) to submit the form to.
	 *
	 * @var string
	 */
	protected $_action = '/contact';

	/**
	 * Other attributes (name => value) to apply to the form.
	 *
	 * @var array
	 */
	protected $_attributes = array(
		'id'    => 'something'
		'class' => 'konform contact',
	);

	/**
	 * Fields, keyed on their name, with label, rules, type, and other options.
	 *
	 * @var array
	 */
	protected $_fields = array(
		// Simple text entry box.
		'name' => array(
			'type'      => 'text',
			'label'     => 'Your name',
			'maxlength' => 60,
			'required'  => true,
			'rules'     => array('not_empty'),
		),

		// One with more validation on it, and a custom CSS class applied to the container.
		'email' => array(
			'type'     => 'text',
			'label'    => 'Your email address',
			'required' => true,
			'rules'    => array('not_empty', 'email'),
			'class'    => 'email',
		),

		// Example of a select element.
		'group' => array(
			'type'         => 'select',
			'label'        => 'Person or group',
			'required'     => true,
			'rules'        => array('not_empty'),
			'placeholder'  => 'Please select...',
			'optionSource' => '_getGroups',
			'optionValue'  => 'pk',
			'optionLabel'  => 'name',
		),

		// And a textarea.
		'body' => array(
			'type'     => 'textarea',
			'label'    => 'Your message',
			'required' => true,
			'rules'    => array('not_empty'),
			'cols'     => '70',
			'rows'     => '10',
		),

		// Don't forget to add a submit button.
		'submit' => array(
			'type' => 'submit',
			'label' => 'Submit',
			'class' => 'buttons'
		),
	);

	/**
	 * Get the groups for the dropdown list.
	 *
	 * These source methods must return something iterable (suitable for reading
	 * by foreach - arrays, Iterators, etc).
	 *
	 * @return Database_Result
	 */
	protected function _getGroups()
	{
		return ORM::factory('group')->find_all();
	}
}

```

And, here's the controller code to go with it.

```
public function action_index()
{
	$contactForm = new Konform_Contact($this->request->post());
	if ($this->request->post() && $contactForm->validate()) {
		// Looks like we received valid data, so send the emails.
		$this->_sendContactEmail($contactForm->data());
		HTTP::redirect('/contact/thank-you');
	}

	$this->response->body($contactForm->render());
}

```
