what is the benefit to use form builder?

Question

Consider that i have a contact form in my contact page,

So why should i use something like laravel collective that is a form builder.

I can simply write down my html codes in contact view like this:

<input class="form-control" name="company" type="text">

instead of this :

{{ Form::text('company', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}

What is the benefit?

Answer 1

• Cleaner syntax. Compare for example a traditional HTML select vs using Form::select('name', $array).
• Integrated CSRF protection.
• Integrated URLs to named routes, actions and RESTful controllers of your application. If use routes in your form URL and you cange a route URL all your models will still work.
• Form Model Binding to populate form with data from your models.
• Automatic form fields population with flash (old) input.
