\#Quick Feature Highlight

- Clean usage:

    ```
      $exampleInput = new MyExampleInput;
      $exampleInput->fill($_GET);     // render();    // addField("state_id", "select")
           ->setValue("")
           ->setCascadeTo("city_id")
           ->setAttribs([
                 "style" => "width:100px;",
                 "class"=> "form-control"
             ])
           ->setOptions(function(){
                  // some logic here that returns all the choices appearing in the drop-down box
             });

      $this->addField("city_id", "select")
           ->setValue("")
           ...

    ```
- Simplifies client-side code:

    ```
      // Client-side jQuery as simple as this
      $(".my-example").inputter({
            // set some options here
      });

    ```
- Client-side methods available to help you (and you don't need to rely on `` tags):

    ```
      // Gather all the values from the inputs
      var data = $(".my-example").data("inputter").get();
      alert(data.state_id);   //
