The example below is used to create form object with a list of form input fields.

class AddressForm extends Form{
    function setUp(){
        $this->_fields = [
            "street" => (new Fields\StringField("Street")),
            "town" => (new Fields\StringField("Town/District"))->required(),
            "parish" => (new Fields\StringField("Parish"))->required(),
            "country" => (new Fields\StringField("Country"))->required(),
        ]
    }
}
