Laravel Collective to Spatie Laravel HTML Adapter

This package serves as an adapter to help projects that depend on the obsolete laravel-collective/html library. It provides an interface that uses the same syntax as the Form class of laravel-collective/html to create HTML elements. Under the hood, it utilizes the spatie/laravel-html library, which is actively maintained, to generate the HTML elements. This allows projects to update to newer Laravel versions without changing the HTML creation syntax.

Features

  • Zero configuration needed, works out of the box.
  • Uses the same syntax as laravel-collective/html.
  • Leverages the actively maintained spatie/laravel-html library.

Available Methods

The following methods are available in the src/FormAdapter.php class.

Notes:

  • $options / $attributes are HTML attributes for the generated element.
  • In open() and model(), $options can include: method, route, url, files, plus extra form attributes.
  • In select(), multiple inside $selectAttributes enables a multiple select.
