我应该使用laravel集体还是其他组件？

Question

I'm starting with Laravel and I've some doubts about the external components.

I've already used the laravel collective and the adamwathan/bootforms and the both show me advantage and disadvantage. I've searched for information or discussion about this and a I didn't find anything

For example, I can build forms extremely fast with these components, but I got limited sometimes.

According with the about session of the laravel Collective they say:

The Laravel Collective is a community organization designed to maintain components that have been removed from the Laravel Framework core

So, if the form is removed from the core, should I continue using this component?

And in the readme from the Bootform, they say

Probably not perfect for your super custom branded ready-for-release apps, but a huge time saver when you are still in the prototyping stage!

What do you think about using external components? Do you think it's a good ideia to use or do you prefer the original core from the Laravel?

Answer 1

After 3 weeks working with Laravel. I've learned somethings:

If you want to build easy forms without html, I recommend you to use the AdamWathan bootform or Laravel collective . The only problem is: These tools doesn't has a good option with you want a very customizable field.

Bootform

Pros

1. Bootform has more components and functions
2. Reduced Boilerplate
3. Automatic Validation State
4. Some custom forms, like the horizontal forms

Cons

1. Some difficulties with documentation

Laravel Collective

Pros

1. All necessary things to build a laravel form, like the CSRF Protection and hidden fields.

What I do

Actually, I'm working with Collective and html. I use a mix of the both, when I need a simple field or specific fields (csrf protection, for example) I use collective and if I need a more customizable field, like a button with an icon or a special element in bootstrap, I use just HTML.

Answer 2

Recently I've had the same dilemma, so I decided to examine Laravel Collective Html package.

I wanted to share my thoughts, therefore I created the following post: Is it beneficial to add Laravel Collective Html into your Laravel Project

Hope you will find it useful.

归结为个人偏好，Laravel Collectives让您轻松预先选择选择输入，开箱即用csrf等...我发现自己越来越少地使用它然后最终完全停止了它。
