Perique - Form Components

A collection of View Components for rendering form fields in the Perique Framework. Build forms with a fluent PHP API, automatic HTML rendering, built-in sanitization and validation.

Setup

$ composer require pinkcrab/form-components

Register the module in your Perique bootstrap:

use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Module\Form_Components;

( new App_Factory() )
    ->default_setup()
    ->module( Form_Components::class )
    ->boot();

---

Quick Start

Render fields in any Perique view template:

use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Component\Field\Input_Component;
use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Element\Field\Input\Text;

$this->component( new Input_Component(
    Text::make( 'username' )
        ->label( 'Username' )
        ->placeholder( 'Enter your username' )
        ->required( true )
) );

Or use the Make helper for a more concise syntax:

use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Util\Make;

$this->component( Make::text( 'username', fn( $f ) => $f
    ->label( 'Username' )
    ->placeholder( 'Enter your username' )
    ->required( true )
) );

Building a Complete Form

use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Util\Make;
use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Element\Field\Input\{Text, Email, Tel, Hidden};
use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Element\Field\{Select, Textarea};
use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Element\Field\Group\Radio_Group;
use PinkCrab\Form_Components\Element\{Fieldset, Form, Nonce, Button, Raw_HTML};

$this->component( Make::form( 'enquiry', fn( $f ) => $f
    ->method( 'POST' )
    ->action( '/submit' )
    ->fields(
        // Raw HTML for intro text
        Raw_HTML::make( 'intro' )
            ->html( '<p>Fill in the form below and we will get back to you.</p>' ),

        // Fieldset groups related fields
        Fieldset::make( 'personal' )
            ->legend( 'Your Details' )
            ->fields(
                Text::make( 'name' )->label( 'Name' )->required( true ),
                Email::make( 'email' )->label( 'Email' )->required( true ),
                Tel::make( 'phone' )->label( 'Phone' )->placeholder( '+44 7700 900000' )
            ),

        // Select and radio group
        Select::make( 'subject' )
            ->label( 'Subject' )
            ->options( array(
                ''        => 'Select...',
                'sales'   => 'Sales Enquiry',
                'support' => 'Support',
                'other'   => 'Other',
            ) )
            ->required( true ),

        Radio_Group::make( 'priority' )
            ->label( 'Priority' )
            ->options( array(
                'low'    => 'Low',
                'medium' => 'Medium',
                'high'   => 'High',
            ) )
            ->selected( 'medium' ),

        Textarea::make( 'message' )
            ->label( 'Message' )
            ->rows( 5 )
            ->required( true ),

        // Hidden field and nonce for security
        Hidden::make( 'form_id' )->set_existing( 'enquiry-v1' ),
        Nonce::make( 'submit_enquiry', '_enquiry_nonce' ),

        Button::make( 'submit' )->type( 'submit' )->text( 'Send Enquiry' )
    )
) );

Change Log

• 2.1.5 - Field templates no longer pass a null before_field / after_field to wp_kses_post() when before() / after() weren’t called — the strict empty-string check introduced in 2.1.4 didn’t account for the unset (null) case, which triggered a preg_replace(): Passing null deprecation on PHP 8.1+. Fixed by checking for both null and empty string. (Issue #25)
• 2.1.4 - Field names containing PHP-style brackets (e.g. wm_loc_coordinates[0][latlong]) and case-sensitive characters are now preserved verbatim rather than being mangled by sanitize_title(). before() / after() adornments now render whether show_wrapper(false) or show_wrapper(true) is set — they were previously dropped when the wrapper was off. (Issue #23) *2.1.3 - Adds description pre and post fields within the field wrapper.
• 2.1.2 - Fixed label/input accessibility, wrapper class duplication and unnecessary list attribute rendering.
• 2.1.1 - Added Custom_Field element for rendering arbitrary HTML with full field treatment (wrapper, label, notifications, configurable kses filtering)
• 2.1.0 - Initial release for Perique 2.1.*
