Example with forms

[collimarco]

I am considering view_component for a new project.

However I cannot find clear examples and documentation about building forms.

Is there any complete example of using Rails forms + view_component?

Hi @collimarco 👋🏻

The way we've ended up addressing Rails forms + view_component is through a forms framework we've built into the Primer ViewComponents library. Feel free to check out the documentation and examples in the Primer ViewComponents Lookbook: https://view-components-storybook.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/view-components/lookbook/pages/forms/introduction

Hi @collimarco
Another approach is to use a custom FormBuilder, and https://github.com/pantographe/view_component-form can help with that.

Hi @collimarco
I would also like to give a mention to simple_form in my experience working with view_component simple form generally works without any issues

Hi @reeganviljoen! I'm curious how you work with simple_form and view-component especially for customization. I'd like all my forms look the same using TailwindCSS but I can't figure it out how to customize each component (label, input, select etc.). Do you have an idea / example? Thanks for your help!
