Adding elements to forms

Add an element as specifications

If you want the element factory to create the elements that you add to the form you only need to provide the name of the element (so it can later be retrieved) and the element' specifications:

use Sirius\Input\Specs;

// provide specs for the element factory
$specs = array(
    Specs::TYPE => 'text',
    Specs::LABEL => 'Your email address'
);
$form->add('email', $specs);

// you can retrieve the element so you alter it
$email = $form->get('email');

Add an element instance

If you like boilerplate, you can create the form element by yourself you can do that as well

use Sirius\InputGuardian\Element\Input\Text;

$email = new Text('email', array(
    Specs::LABEL => 'Your email address'
));
$form->add($email);

As you can see, the Specs class has a lot of constants that you can use when defining the element specifications. Just type Specs:: and let your IDE do the rest!
