Model Form

The Ezadev\Admin\Form class is used to generate a data model-based form. For example, there is amovies table in the database

CREATE TABLE `movies` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `title` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `director` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `describe` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `rate` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL,
  `released` enum(0, 1),
  `release_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  `created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  `updated_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

The corresponding data model is App\Models\Movie, and the following code can generate themovies data form:

use App\Models\Movie;
use Ezadev\Admin\Form;
use Ezadev\Admin\Facades\Admin;

$form = new Form(new Movie);

// Displays the record id
$form->display('id', 'ID');

// Add an input box of type text
$form->text('title', 'Movie title');

$directors = [
    'John'  => 1,
    'Smith' => 2,
    'Kate'  => 3,
];

$form->select('director', 'Director')->options($directors);

// Add textarea for the describe field
$form->textarea('describe', 'Describe');

// Number input
$form->number('rate', 'Rate');

// Add a switch field
$form->switch('released', 'Released?');

// Add a date and time selection box
$form->dateTime('release_at', 'release time');

// Display two time column 
$form->display('created_at', 'Created time');
$form->display('updated_at', 'Updated time');

Custom tools

The top right corner of the form has two button tools by default. You can modify it in the following way:

$form->tools(function (Form\Tools $tools) {

    // Disable `List` btn.
    $tools->disableList();

    // Disable `Delete` btn.
    $tools->disableDelete();

    // Disable `Veiw` btn.
    $tools->disableView();

    // Add a button, the argument can be a string, or an instance of the object that implements the Renderable or Htmlable interface
    $tools->add('<a class="btn btn-sm btn-danger"><i class="fa fa-trash"></i>&nbsp;&nbsp;delete</a>');
});

Use the following method to remove the elements of the form foot

$form->footer(function ($footer) {

    // disable reset btn
    $footer->disableReset();

    // disable submit btn
    $footer->disableSubmit();

    // disable `View` checkbox
    $footer->disableViewCheck();

    // disable `Continue editing` checkbox
    $footer->disableEditingCheck();

    // disable `Continue Creating` checkbox
    $footer->disableCreatingCheck();

});

Other methods

Disable submit btn:

$form->disableSubmit();

Disable reset btn:

$form->disableReset();

Ignore fields to store

$form->ignore('column1', 'column2', 'column3');

Set width for label and field

$form->setWidth(10, 2);

Set form action

$form->setAction('admin/users');

Model relationship

One to One

The users table and the profiles table are generated one-to-one relation through the profiles.user_id field.

CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`updated_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

CREATE TABLE `profiles` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`user_id` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`age` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`gender` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`updated_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

The corresponding data model are:

class User extends Model
{
    public function profile()
    {
        return $this->hasOne(Profile::class);
    }
}

class Profile extends Model
{
    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }
}

You can associate them in a form with the following code:

$form = new Form(new User);

$form->display('id');

$form->text('name');
$form->text('email');

$form->text('profile.age');
$form->text('profile.gender');

$form->datetime('created_at');
$form->datetime('updated_at');
