Magic Form Objects
==================

[](#magic-form-objects)

A slightly less hateful implementation of form handling for Drupal 7.

Because we all know drupal forms blow.

Support many form field types:

- Button
- File
- Group
- Hidden
- Input
- Radios
- Select
- Textarea
- Date
- Ranges (thanks Jason!)
- Multiple selection Radios
- Switches (Jason again)

Bonus features:

- Data Tables.
- Labels

Validators
==========

[](#validators)

Example with validators:

```
$form = new magic_form('my-form');
$form
  ->add_field(
    magic_form_field_text::factory('some-field', 'Some Field', 'Some Default')
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_phonenumber())
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_email())
  )->add_field(
    magic_form_field_text::factory('other-field')
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_less_than(100))
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_greater_than(50))
  )->add_field(
    magic_form_field_text::factory('other-field')
      ->add_validators(
        new magic_form_validator_is_less_than(100),
        new magic_form_validator_is_greater_than(50),
        new magic_form_validator_regexp('REGEXP_GOES_HERE')
      )
  )->add_fields(
    magic_form_field_text::factory('some-field', 'Some Field', 'Some Default')
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_phonenumber())
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_email()),
    magic_form_field_text::factory('some-field', 'Some Field', 'Some Default')
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_phonenumber())
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_email()),
    magic_form_field_text::factory('some-field', 'Some Field', 'Some Default')
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_phonenumber())
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_email()),
    magic_form_field_text::factory('some-field', 'Some Field', 'Some Default')
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_phonenumber())
      ->add_validator(new magic_form_validator_is_valid_email())
  );

  $form->submit(function (magic_form $form) {
      drupal_set_message("Submit happened in form {$form->magic_form_id} / {$form->form_id}");
  });

  // Check to see if an earlier, updated build of this form exists.
  magic_form::check_for_updated_form($form);

  // render the form.
  return $form->__toString();

```
