I would like to combine the Laravel model binding properties with the easy jQuery Validation plugin, if that is possible.
I can't figure out how to add the 'required' attribute to the blade syntax.
Here is normal form syntax with the "required" attribute:
<input type="text" name="title" required>
Laravel Blade syntax
{{ Form:: text('title', null, array('class' => 'form-control')) }}
Any help would be appreciated.
required is a normal HTML input attribute. The only difference is that it doesn't have different values -- it's either present or it's not, which makes it the so-called boolean attribute.
Anyway, this should do the trick:
{{ Form:: text('title', null, array('class' => 'form-control', 'required' => '')) }}
See more here.

Im displaying a form as a representation of data in my database. Im using a form because the data is editable by certain users.
The form contains a dropdown list:
<select name="Status" id="Status">
<option id="confirmed" value="Confirmed">Confirmed</option>
<option id="completed" value="Completed">Completed</option>
<option id="released" value="Released">Released</option>
<option id="deleted" value="Deleted">Deleted</option>
</select>
When loading the view I pass in a variable '$status' which is from the database. How do I set the 'selected' attribute for which ever option $status is equal to?
Im using blade tempting engine
if you're using blade template you may want to use the Form helper to build your form fields, pass an array of items to be listed as dropdown options on the 2nd parameter and at the 3rd parameter pass your selected value, see the code below for reference
From controller:
$selectedValue = "confirmed";
$statuses = array(
array("id"=> "confirmed", "value" => "Confirmed"),
array("id"=> "completed", "value" => "Completed"),
array("id"=> "released", "value" => "Released"),
array("id"=> "deleted", "value" => "Deleted"),
);
return view("yourview")->with("statuses", $statuses)->with("selectedValue", $selectedValue);
On your view you could do something like below:
{!! Form::select('status', $statuses , $selectedValue, ['class' => 'form-control', 'id' => 'status']) !!}
Note: the code is untested but should work in your case.

I have the HTML code like this:
<label>Main Text (<span class="main_text_count">0</span><span>) Characters</span></label>
<textarea name="data[News][sentence]" id="main_text" class="form-control" required rows="8"></textarea>
And I don't know how to create a text area like this, using Form helper of cakePHP.
Simply done using the Form Helper (both for CakePHP 2 and CakePHP 3):-
echo $this->Form->textarea(
'News.sentence',
[
'id' => 'main_text',
'class' => 'form-control',
'rows' => 8,
'label' => 'Main Text (<span class="main_text_count">0</span><span>) Characters</span>'
]
);
In future make sure you've fully read Cake's documentation.
When i am adding form to view & specifying parameters as
<?= $form->field($model, 'form_name', ['options' => ['id' => 'formName', 'name' => 'formName']])->textInput(); ?>
But, when i run in the browser & check for view page source, there it shows me
<input type="text" id="submitform-form_name" class="form-control" name="SubmitForm[form_name]">
this disturbs my javascript calling for field input. How to stop yii2 from generating its own id???
You are passing options to ActiveField. If you want override id and name attributes, pass them in textInput() options like so:
<?= $form->field($model, 'form_name')->textInput(['id' => 'formName', 'name' => 'formName']) ?>
Generated html output will be:
<input type="text" name="formName" class="form-control" id="formName">
Note that after that client validation for this attribute will stop working and that attribute won't be massively assigned.
I want to create forms in symfony2. I need this HTML structur for each control.
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-2 control-label">Firstname:</label>
<div class="col-md-10"><input type="text" name="firstname" class="form-control">/div>
</div>
Now is my question, how can i add the div with the class form-group and how can i surround the input element with the div .col-md-10?
$builder->add('firstname', 'text', array(
'attr' => array(
'class' => 'form-control'),
'label_attr' => array(
'class' => 'col-md-2 control-label'
)
)
);
Check How to customize Form Rendering section of the documentation.
You may need to override the form_widget block (form_widget_compound block to go into details).
Find here the default behavior of each twig form helper.
The Form Theming Sub Chapter contains many relevant examples on how to customize any given form field block.
I'm trying to have CakePHP output a link that looks like this:
<a href="/foo/bar" class="some other classes">
<span class="icon new"></span>FooBar</a>
So I use the following code in my view
<?php
echo $this->Html->link(
$this->Html->tag('span', null, array('class' => 'icon new')) . "FooBar",
array('controller' => 'foo', 'action' => 'bar'),
array('class' => 'some other classes', 'escape' => false)
);
?>
However CakePHP outputs the following:
<a href="/foo/bar" class="some other classes">
<span class="icon new">FooBar</span></a>
Which breaks my design. How can I get CakePHP to append "FooBar" after the <span> tags?
EDIT: Its also worth mentioning that I know a <span> tags shouldn't be within an anchor tag usually, but in the case its a must.
You need to use an empty string in stead of null as the text for the span, then your code will work as expected.
Looking at the source code of the HtmlHelper, null is treated as a 'special' value, causing only the opening tag of the span to be created. You can see this in this line:
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/2.3.2/lib/Cake/View/Helper/HtmlHelper.php#L906
Change your code to this and it should work;
echo $this->Html->link(
$this->Html->tag('span', '', array('class' => 'icon new')) . "FooBar",
array('controller' => 'foo', 'action' => 'bar'),
array('class' => 'some other classes', 'escape' => false)
);
Additional explanation of the closing </span>
A bit of explanation, for those who wonder:
The closing </span> in your example is actually not present in the output generated by CakePHP, but automatically 'added' by your browser. If you view the source of the HTML in your browser, you'll see that this is what is actually in your HTML:
<a href="/foo/bar" class="some other classes">
<span class="icon new">FooBar</a>
As you can see, no closing 'span'
Because the <span> is not closed, the browser will try to correct this error and automatically assumes that you 'forgot' to close it. Therefor it will add a closing </span> before the next tag it finds (in this case the closing </a>).
The 'inspector' in your browser will always show the HTML that the browser uses to render the output. This includes automatic corrections made by the browser and dynamically generated elements (e.g. Elements added via JavaScript).
To check the output of your PHP scripts, always view the source, not the inspector
In this situation, I've avoided the CakePHP helpers entirely because the markup becomes really messy and cannot take advantage of autocomplete or validation within your IDE.
I usually do something like this:
<span class="icon-new"></span>Foobar
This looks a little overkill for me. Just do this:
echo $this->Html->link(
"<span class="icon new"></span> FooBar",
array('controller' => 'foo', 'action' => 'bar'),
array('class' => 'some other classes', 'escape' => false)
);
I've been using CakePHP for 4 years and I don't see the benefit of using tag in this instance.
Would you be able to use regular PHP in this case?
I am thinking you could do it like this:
<?PHP
echo('<span class="' . 'icon new' . '"></span>' . 'FooBar' . '')
?>
