View Helpers
laminas-form comes with an initial set of laminas-view helper classes for tasks such as rendering forms, rendering a text input, rendering a selection box, etc.
See the view helpers documentation for more information.
IDE auto-completion in templates
The Laminas\Form\View\HelperTrait trait can be used to provide auto-completion
for modern IDEs. It defines the aliases of the view helpers in a DocBlock as
@method tags.
Usage
In order to allow auto-completion in templates, $this variable should be
type-hinted via a DocBlock at the top of your template. It is recommended that
you always add the Laminas\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer as the first type, so that
the IDE can auto-suggest the default view helpers from laminas-view. Next,
chain the HelperTrait from laminas-form with a pipe symbol (a.k.a. vertical
bar) |:
/**
* @var Laminas\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer|Laminas\Form\View\HelperTrait $this
*/You may chain as many HelperTrait traits as you like, depending on view
helpers from which Laminas component you are using and would like to
provide auto-completion for.
