Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require "exadium/extra-attributes-field":"*"

```

The module should work out of the box on a standard installation of SilverStripe. If you have Bootstrap Forms module installed by

\\extra-attributes-field\\templates
\\themes\\bootstrap\\templates

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
public function getCMSFields() {
	$fields = parent::getCMSFields();

	$count = array('1' => 'One', '2' => 'Two', '3' => 'Three');
	$batties = array('1' => 'Batty', '2' => 'Batty batty', '3' => 'Batty batty batty');

	$fields->push(
		DropdownAttributesField::create('DropdownAttributesCount', 'DropdownAttributesField Count', $count)
			->setOptionsAttributes('data-bats', $batties)
	);

	$fields->push(
		CheckboxSetField::create('CheckCount', 'CheckboxSetField Count', $count)
			->setOptionsAttributes('data-bats', $batties)
	);

	return $fields;
}

```

Generates code like

```

	DropdownAttributesField Count

			One
			Two
			Three

	CheckboxSetField Count

				One

				Two

				Three

```

Or you can load from a database field map. Also shows adding multiple options.

```
$fields->push(
	DropdownAttributesField::create('Members', 'Members', Member::get()->map('ID', 'Name'))
		->setOptionsAttributes('data-email', Member::get()->map('ID', 'Email'))
		->setOptionsAttributes('data-firstname', Member::get()->map('ID', 'FirstName'))
);

```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

If you use [silverstripe-bootstrap-forms](https://github.com/unclecheese/silverstripe-bootstrap-forms) copy BootstrapCheckboxSetField.ss to your templates folder. If you use your own custom Field templates add

```
$OptionAttributesHTML

```

to your input/option/checkbox/...
