HtField
=======

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

The HtField class is a base class for implementing all kinds of form fields, both widgets and non-widgets. It is basically a wrapper for two things:

- parameter resolution
- tag attribute setting

For understanding these concepts more deeply I recommend you take a look at the two underlying libraries being used by this class:

- [FlSouto\\Param](https://github.com/flsouto/param/)
- [FlSouto\\HtAttrs](https://github.com/flsouto/htattrs)

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

[](#installation)

Install this library via composer

```
composer require flsouto/htfield

```

Usage
-----
