/***
 * If you prefer automatic updates or using packages, this is available as a composer 
 *   package: https://github.com/smalldogs/html5inputs
 *
 *  Thank you to @silentcoast for the adding the support of non-valued attributes (such as `required`)
 *
 * This file allows you to use the other 11 HTML elements the same way as text, email, and URL.
 *
 * 1. Create the folder /app/misc, or use your preferred directory
 * 2. Copy this form_macros.php into the directory
 * 3. Include this file with `require app_path().'/misc/form_macros.php';` or in composer.json
 *      "autoload": {
 *          "psr-0": {
 *              "Helpers": "app/misc"
 *          }
 *      }
 *
 * This file manually creates each macro, allowing you to customize any given input to add defaults
 *  or restrictions.
 *
 * *Note: The only alias which differs from the element input type is datetime-local, as the dash breaks
 *    the alias. Instead, create the element using Input::datetimelocal()

Good point @ajseidl. I've updated the file to use then element's name also as the Id if the Id is not explicitly defined in the attributes array.
