Installation

For ASP.NET MVC 5

install-package FormFactory install-package FormFactory.AspMvc install-package EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProvider * (or you can install FormFactory.Templates if you don't want to use the EmbeddedResourceVirtualPathProvider)

For ASP.NET MVC Core

install-package FormFactory install-package FormFactory.AspNetCore configure core to serve embedded files - see startup.cs lines 36 and 60

For both

Add the assets to your page <link href="/Content/FormFactory/FormFactory.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> <script src="/Scripts/FormFactory/FormFactory.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

How to use it

Inside an cshtml file: @FF.PropertiesFor(someObject).Render(Html);

.PropertiesFor(someObject) will reflect over the someObject and create an enumerable of PropertyVm objects, and .Render(Html) will render each object out the page

See the documentation site for how to mark up your viewmodel
