Form Generator

Hello all !

I just created a new tool to render a form from a database.

There is the repository : https://github.com/Zheness/phalconFormGenerator

It's not perfect, but it's working, and it can save time by generating form.

This is an example of what this tool do (read README file for configuration):

My SQL table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `firstname` varchar(65) NOT NULL,
  `lastname` varchar(65) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(105) NOT NULL,
  `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `isAdmin` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
  `biography` text NOT NULL,
  `short_description` varchar(1000) NOT NULL,
  `user_status_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `last_date_login` date DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `user_status_id` (`user_status_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

The form generated:

class UsersForm {
    private function _Firstname() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Text("Firstname");
        $element->setLabel("Firstname");
        $element->addValidator(new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\StringLength([
            "max" => 65
        ]));
        return $element;
    }
    private function _Lastname() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Text("Lastname");
        $element->setLabel("Lastname");
        $element->addValidator(new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\StringLength([
            "max" => 65
        ]));
        return $element;
    }
    private function _Email() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Text("Email");
        $element->setLabel("Email");
        $element->addValidator(new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\StringLength([
            "max" => 105
        ]));
        return $element;
    }
    private function _Password() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Password("Password");
        $element->setLabel("Password");
        return $element;
    }
    private function _Isadmin() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Check("Isadmin");
        $element->setLabel("Isadmin");
        return $element;
    }
    private function _Biography() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Textarea("Biography");
        $element->setLabel("Biography");
        return $element;
    }
    private function _ShortDescription() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Textarea("ShortDescription");
        $element->setLabel("ShortDescription");
        return $element;
    }
    private function _UserStatusId() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Select("UserStatusId");
        $element->setLabel("UserStatusId");
        $element->setOptions([]);
        return $element;
    }
    private function _LastDateLogin() {
        $element = new \Phalcon\Forms\Element\Date("LastDateLogin");
        $element->setLabel("LastDateLogin");
        return $element;
    }
    public function setFields() {
        $this->add($this->_Firstname());
        $this->add($this->_Lastname());
        $this->add($this->_Email());
        $this->add($this->_Password());
        $this->add($this->_Isadmin());
        $this->add($this->_Biography());
        $this->add($this->_ShortDescription());
        $this->add($this->_UserStatusId());
        $this->add($this->_LastDateLogin());
    }
}

The next step is to copy the files in your project, modify labels, add options, add validators/filters, remove fields, etc.

If someone has ideas, feel free to contribute !

I hope this tool will help you !

Merry Christmas to all and to the Phalcon Team !
