Laravel HTML 5 Inputs
Composer package which adds support for HTML5 elements by extending Laravel's Form interface (e.g. Form::date())
Adds support for: color
, date
, datetime
, datatime-local
, month
, number
, range
, search
, tel
, time
, week
. Laravel Form interfce supports Email & Url out of the box.
This package allows you to use HTML5 inputs the same way as normal text fields Form::color('inputName');

composer.json
file, update the require line for this package to2.*

composer update
. -
Follow Step 2 below.
New Installation
- On your command line
composer require "smalldogs/html5inputs:2.*"
- REPLACE the form alias with the new, extended facade, in
app/config/app.php
.
'aliases' => array(
'Form' => 'Smalldogs\Html5inputs\Html5InputsFacade',
// 'Form' => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\Form',
};
- Add the service provider to your
app/config/app.php
providers array
'providers' => array(
'Smalldogs\Html5inputs\Html5InputsServiceProvider',

How to Use
Just like your normal Form interface.
// Create a date field
Form::date('yourBirthday');
// Create a pre-populated month field for June 2014
Form::month('hottestMonth', '2014-06');
// Create an empty input with bootstrap styles
Form::search('searchBox', null, ['class' => 'form-control']);
// Auto-associate label with input (use the same name)
Form::label('favoriteColor', 'Select Your Favorite Color');
Form::color('favoriteColor', '#FFAE25');
// Use Form-model binding
$user = new User();
$user->phoneNumber = '123-555-5555';
{{ Form::model($user) }}
{{ Form::label('phoneNumber', 'Update Your Phone #') }}
{{ Form::tel('phoneNumber') }}
{{ Form::close() }}
Changes from v1
The major difference between v1 and v2 is how the Form class is extended. Version 1 made use of the Form::macro method, while v2 creates a Facade which extends \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Form
directly.
This allows for more direct similarity between the handling of the new methods and the default methods ( such as "text" or "email").
This also enables Form Model Binding with the new HTML5 elements.
