The Form library allows you to rapidly develop, theme, and validate forms, so you can get back to programming.

Creating a Form
===============

[](#creating-a-form)

Creating a form is simple. Elements starting with a letter or number are fields. Elements starting with underscores are special keys. For example `_method` allows you to set the choose a GET or POST request for your form.

Elements starting with a letter or number are rendered directly into the <input> or <select> tag. Elements beginning with an underscore are passed to logic but not rendered.

For example, the \_title attribute generates a <label tag for the form field.

```
$skeleton['_method'] = 'POST';

$skeleton['testField'] = [
  'type' => 'text'
  , '_title' => 'Test Field'
];

$skeleton['submit'] = [
  '_title' => 'Submit'
  , 'type' => 'submit'
];

$form = new \SeanMorris\Form\Form($skeleton);

echo $form->render();
```

Validation
==========

[](#validation)

Validators are specified on the \_validators key. Its an array keyed by validator class. The values are arrays of arguments to pass to the constructor.

```
$skeleton['testField'] = [
  'type' => 'text'
  , '_title' => 'Test Field'
  , '_validators' => [
    'SeanMorris\Form\Validator\Regex' => [
      '/.{8,}/' => '%s must be at least 8 characters'
    ]
  ]
];
```

Filtering and validating submitted values is simple:

```
$form->setValues($_POST);

if($form->validate())
{
  // Values will only contain keys for each of the fields.
  $values = $form->getValues();
}
else
{
  $errors = $form->erorrs();
}
```
