{
    "require": {
        "intentor/laravel-form": "~1.0"
    }
}
```

Run `composer update` to add the package to your Laravel app.

At `config/app.php`, add the Service Provider and the Facade:

```
    'providers' => [
		'Intentor\LaravelForm\ServiceProvider',
    ]

	//...

    'aliases' => [
        'Form' => 'Intentor\LaravelForm\Facade'
    ]
```

### Laravel 5.1+

[](#laravel-51)

{
    "require": {
        "intentor/laravel-form": "~2.0"

    'aliases' => [
        'Form' => Intentor\LaravelForm\Facade::class,
    ]
```

Quick start
------------------------------------------------

[](#quick-start)

To create a form, you can user either Blade helpers or the `Form` Facade.

Using Blade helpers:

```
@form_open(action('SomeController@action'))

@form_close
```

Using Facades:

```
{!! Form::open(action('SomeController@action')) !!}

{!! Form::close() !!}
```

Any controls you want to create must be placed between the opening and closing of the form.

Using Blade helpers:

```
@form_open(action('SomeController@action'))

@form_text('name', 'Name')

@form_buttons('Send', 'Reset')

@form_close
```

Using Facades:

```
{!! Form::open(action('SomeController@action')) !!}

{!! Form::text('name', 'Name') !!}

{!! Form::buttons('Send', 'Reset') !!}

{!! Form::close() !!}

### Available themes

[](#available-themes)

There are three different themes available:

1. **default**: a simple form theme without any third party dependencies.
2. **horizontal**: default [Bootstrap horizontal](http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-horizontal) form (Requires [Bootstrap 3](http://getbootstrap.com/)).
3. **vertical**: default [Bootstrap vertical](http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-example) form (Requires [Bootstrap 3](http://getbootstrap.com/)).

All themes are subfolders at `src/resources/views/partials/form` folder.

### Creating a custom theme

[](#creating-a-custom-theme)

To create a custom theme, copy a base theme from `vendor/intentor/laravel-form/src/resources/views/partials/form` at your local Laravel installation to the `resources/views/partials/form` of your app.

Each helper has its own Blade template file, which can then be customized.

**Note**: the name of the theme's folder is the name that must be used when [setting the theme](#form-open).
