Foundation Laravel (Laravel4 Package)

tl;dr

Build HTML form elements for Foundation inside Laravel 4, including validation error handling. Documentation for the respective frameworks can be found at Foundation website and Laravel website.

Required setup

In the require key of composer.json file add the following

"stevenmaguire/zurb-foundation-laravel": "dev-master"

Run the Composer update comand

$ composer update

In your config/app.php add 'Stevenmaguire\Foundation\FoundationServiceProvider' to the end of the $providers array

'providers' => array(

    'Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider',
    'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider',
    ...
    'Stevenmaguire\Foundation\FoundationServiceProvider',

),

Usage

When composing forms using the blade view engine within Laravel 4, this package will intercept basic Form::method requests and compose form elements that are structured for use in a Foundation 4 based presentation.

<div class="large-8 small-12 columns">
	{{ Form::model($user,array('route' => 'route.name','class' => 'custom')) }}
		<fieldset>
			<legend>Create New Account</legend>				
			{{ Form::label('name', 'Full Name') }}
			{{ Form::text('name',$user->name,array('placeholder'=>'Tell us your whole name')) }}
			{{ Form::label('email', 'Email') }}
			{{ Form::text('email',$user->email,array('placeholder'=>'Valid email used to login and receive information from us')) }}
			{{ Form::label('password', 'Password') }}
			{{ Form::password('password',$user->password,array('placeholder'=>'Gimme your password')) }}
			{{ Form::submit('Create Account',array('class'=>'button')) }}
		</fieldset>
	{{ Form::close() }}
</div>

will render without errors

<div class="large-8 small-12 columns">
	<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="http://host/action/from/route" class="custom" method="post">
		<fieldset>
			<legend>Create New Account</legend> 
			<label for="name">Full Name</label> 
			<input id="name" name="name" placeholder="Tell us your whole name" type="text"> 
			<label for="email">Email</label>
			<input id="email" name="email" placeholder="Valid email used to login and receive information from us" type="text"> 
			<label for="password">Password</label> 
			<input id="password" name="password" placeholder="Gimme your password" type="password" value=""> 
			<input class="button" type="submit" value="Create Account">
		</fieldset>
	</form>
</div>

and with errors

$rules = array(
	'name' => array('required','min:3','max:32','regex:/^[a-z ,.\'-]+$/i'),
	'email' => array('required','unique:users,email,%%id%%','regex:/^([a-zA-Z0-9])+([a-zA-Z0-9\+\%\._-])*@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+([a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+)+$/'),
	'password' => array('required')
	);
