Hi Jack, is it possible to show me the blade template where you use this? I am trying to build a form from this it seems too difficult which made me think I am doing something wrong and there is an easier way.

Sure, here's a (slightly cut down) example:

@php
$form = statamic_form($handle, [
    'redirect'       => url()->current() . "#form-{$handle}",
    'error_redirect' => url()->current() . "#form-{$handle}",
]);
@endphp
<div>
    @if ($form['success'])
        <x-success>Thank you, your message has been sent successfully.</x-success>
    @else
        <x-errors :errors="$form['errors']" />
        <form {!! $form['attrs'] !!} id="form-{{ $form['handle'] }}">
            <div class="space-y-4">
                @foreach ($form['fields'] as $field)
                    {{-- ... --}}
                @endforeach
                <x-button>Send Message</x-button>
            </div>
            {!! $form['params'] !!}
            <input name="{!! $form['honeypot'] !!}">
        </form>
    @endif
</div>

Thank you! I had something similar so I am definitely on a good path, however every time I am trying to access any field attributes within the loop I am getting this error.

Cannot access protected property Statamic\Fields\Field::$config

@foreach ($form['fields'] as $field)
    {{ $field->handle }}
@endforeach

Ah yeah, you need to use the handle and config methods:

{{ $field->handle() }}
{{ $field->config()['type'] }}

Ohh, I didnt realize those are methods, it makes sense now. Thank you Jack!

No problem. I've updated the gist with a more complete example of how to use this as well.

Awesome! Appreciate the help! :)

One thing I missed, you can also use $field->type(), $field->display() and $field->get('key') as a shortcut for $field->config()['key'].

That makes it look a lot cleaner in templates, thank you :) This is a great workaround to use forms with Blade and have it fully customisable at the same time.

Thanks Jack, really helpful!

@markverg You’re welcome!

FYI: As of 3.3.28 you can now get this data from the built-in form tag. 👍

Thanks, we were on 3.3.25 but looking at the commit I did notice it's now in 3.3.28 so will upgrade right away.

One more thing (sorry)..
I noticed after a submit the field values are missing, I try to put back the values in case of errors so the user can just correct the field(s) and re-submit. Is that just me or is that fixed when using the 3.3.28 native way?

The old values seem to work, so switching to the now native function.
Thanks a lot for all your work!!
