Form Builder

Description

If you’ve worked with forms before you’ll know that it’s a pretty mundane task from laying out elements to validating user input.

Form Builder allows you to create rich, robust forms easily. You can either build your forms from scratch using the detailed documentation or base them on the pre-built examples, provided.

Forms are created using simple arrays which define all aspects of both the form and your fields. Although you can create generic forms with just a few lines of code there is also the scope, for more advanced users, to delve deeper into configuring the form settings.
