Reading through this SO thread I have read that I can create a new macro to create custom form inputs.
I am brand new to Laravel development (big surprise) & it seems a tad overkill for such a small thing. Is there a "simpler" way to have something like this:
blade template
{!!Form::label('firstName', 'First Name<sup>*</sup>') !!}
{!! Form::text('firstName', null, ['class'=>'required']) !!}
html
<label for="firstName">First Name*</label>
<input type="text" name="firstName" class="required">
Or, is this a case where I just write the html, and then use the form service to create the inputs?
Thank you for your patience and insight.
The simple way to do this is
{!! Form::label('labelFor','labelText',[],false) !!}
the last parameter is $escape_html which default value is "true".
