// also you can specify default input value

$value = 'Hello World!';
$attributes = ['class' => 'form-control'];
$builder->add(TextInput::class, 'input_name', $value)->attributes($attributes);
$builder->add(TextInput::class, 'input_name', $value, $attributes);

```

### Labels

[](#labels)

```

```

### Group customization

[](#group-customization)

By default inputs will generating in such format

```
$builder->add(TextInput::class, 'input_name');

// generated view

```

If you don't need to wrap input by group

```
$builder->add(TextInput::class, 'input_name')->withoutGroup();

// generated view

```

You can customize group attributes

```
$builder->add(TextInput::class, 'input_name')->groupAttributes(['class' => 'my-class', 'inputID']);

// generated view

```

### Overwrite views

[](#overwrite-views)

If you need specific input generating you can overwrite default view by your custom

```
$builder->add(TextInput::class, 'input_name')->view('path.to.view');

```

In case where you need to overwrite view without group you can ...

```
//this will overwrite code inside form-group div
$builder->add(TextInput::class, 'input_name')->internalView('path.to.view');

```

When you need to overwrite only group you can ... In view you have `$input` object that is an instance of your input class.

```
$builder->add(TextInput::class, 'input_name')->view('path.to.view');

// in resources.views.path.to.view
// in withoutGroupView there path to internal view, you can specify custom or there will be default
generateGroupAttributes() !!}>
    // write custom stuff ...
    @include($input->withoutGroupView)

```

[](#create-simple-form)

For example you need to create simple login form with at least two inputs. Ok, it will something like that

```
use Savich\FormBuilder\Form;
use Savich\FormBuilder\FormBuilder;

class LoginForm extends Form
{
    protected function make(FormBuilder $builder)
    {
        $builder->email('email')->label('Email');
        $builder->password('password')->label('Password');

        $builder->submit('Save');
    }
}

```

After that you need to add this form in controller action

```
class LoginController extends Controller
{
    public function showLoginForm(LoginForm $form)
    {
        $formHtml = $form->create();

        return view('login')->with('form', $formHtml);
    }
}

```

And, finally, render form in view file

```
in resources/views/login.blade.php

{!! $form !!}

```

Lets create action for submitting login form. In our controller

```
class LoginController extends Controller
{
    // ...

    public function login(LoginForm $form)
    {
        $form->request(); // access to request

        // login logic
    }
}

```
