FormIgniter, Easy form generator for the CodeIgniter framework

Published on Thursday, 09 July 2009.

A few days ago, I was pointed to a project that generates CodeIgniter forms in an easy to use way, and a great looking interface: FormIgniter. Basically, it is a form that creates forms :). As I am a form generation freak, I immediatly checked it out.

If you are a frequent user of CodeIgniter, I believe FormIgniter can really save you time. Of course, it makes several assumptions that you may, or may not be in agreement with. I wonder if the source code is available some where. You can find the CodeIgniter's forum discussion here.

Anyway, I exchanged some comments with the author, Oliver Rattue, and I think we agree that the next level in form generation is moving towards an active generator. I mentioned the possibility of using a DSL for creating forms (in a similar way that Haml is used for HTML), but so far it's just an idea. Let's see if I can find some "free" time. :D
