[Laravel 5] wrapper for each field in collection about laravel-form-builder

[kristijanhusak]

There are 2 ways to handle this:
By passing custom template to the field like this:

<?php
class ChoiceForm extends Form {
    public fuction buildForm()
    {
        $this->add('choice_field', 'choice', [
            'choices' => [1 => 'choice_1' , 2 => 'choice_2'],
            'template' => 'fields.custom_choice',    // resources/views/fields/custom_choice.php
            'expanded' => true,
            'multiple' => true

And content of the custom_choice.php set to your needs, just make sure it has all functionality from the default ones (if checks, etc)

Another way is to publish views with php artisan vendor:publish, and change choice.php in resources/views/vendor/laravel-form-builder/choice.php.

Edit: You need to change checkbox.php, not choice.php.

Your code block is empty :)

Yea i pressed ctrl enter accidentally. Updated it.

There is also one more way. In the view you can do this:

foreach ($form->choiceField->getChildren() as $child) {
    <div class="wrapper">
        {!! form_row($child) !!}
    </div>
}

If you are changing checkbox.php just remove check $options['is_child'] and it will work.

Hope i helped.

Did you manage to set it up?

[jaroslawziolkowski]

It works.
I added to field config:

$form->add('name', 'choice',['optionWrapper'=>['type'=>'div','class'=>'classess-list'],'template'=>'fields.custom_choice','expanded'=>true,'multiple'=>true,'choices'=>$this->getoptions(),

and in resources/views/fields/custom_choice.php

<?php if ($showField): ?>
        <?php
        if(array_key_exists('optionWrapper',$options)){
            $wrapperStart = '<'.$options['optionWrapper']['type'].' class="'.$options['optionWrapper']['class'].'">';
            $wrapperEnd = '</'.$options['optionWrapper']['type'].'>';
        }else{
            $wrapperStart = null;
            $wrapperEnd = null;
        }
        foreach ((array)$options['children'] as $child): ?>

            <?=  $wrapperStart.$child->render().$wrapperEnd ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

It's not perfect (not check exist class and not acces other attributes), but in my case very useful.
Thank you

I will probably add an option to modify each choice field options separately, so it will be possible to add configuration like this. Will let you know when it's added so you can clean up your code.

I added support for this. Check the docs here, bio and gender fields.
If you do not need wrapper at all, you can set it to false, for any field.
If you have choice with checkboxes or radios, you can set their options with choice_options like in gender field in the readme. Default for wrapper is false, because of BC.
When choice field generates select (expanded option is false), options are read from the main options, not choice_options.
Just do a composer update, and republish the views.
