Template optios for possible

Need Help

Where do I find the docs about all possible template attributes I can change when customizing a form template like in Customizing the Templates FormHelper Uses?

Thanks!

You need to look at the default FormHelper in the cakephp core

So what Kevin has given you is the actual HTML element being generated. From there you can use any known attribute which that element accepts and pass it as a parameter in the form create control call.

For instance if your users table has a full_name field which is shown in the add a user template, you can fix the label and add a placeholder on that control: -

<?= $this->Form->control('full_name', ['label' => __('Full Name'), 'placeholder' => __('Firstname Surname')]) ?>

Whatever property the HTML element supports you can put in that 2nd parameter array, like even changing the edit type to password ['type' => 'password'] or clearing the value loaded from the table ['value' => '']
