Changing macro attributes with Form::method()

posted 11 years ago

This is the macro i made.

   {{Form::macro('date', function()
{
    return ' <input type="date" data-clear-btn="true" name="date-2" id="date-2" value="">';
}); }}

This is the jquerymobile data picker element. And has a data clear button: data-clear-btn="true" Now in my view i want to decide if the data-clear button is displaying so i typed:

{{ Form::date("false","date-2","date-2","")}}

This does not seem to work. Does anyone know why?

Solution

It won't magically happen unless you do something like this:

Form::macro('date', function($clear, $name, $id, $value) {
    return "<input type=\"date\" data-clear-btn=\"$clear\" name=\"$name\" id=\"$id\" value=\"$value\">";
});

how does PHP know that your first parameter is data-clear-btn?

Form::macro('date', function($clearbtn = true, $name = '', $id = '') {
    return ' <input type="date" data-clear-btn="'.$clearbtn.'" name="'.$name.'" id="'.$id.' value="">';
});
