Form Object Functions
string controller
Builds and returns a string containing a hidden field form control based on the supplied objectName and property.
Note: Pass any additional arguments like class, rel, and id, and the generated tag will also include those values as HTML attributes.
Name
Type
Required
Default
Description
objectName
any
Yes
The variable name of the object to build the form control for.
property
string
Yes
The name of the property to use in the form control.
association
string
No
The name of the association that the property is located on. Used for building nested forms that work with nested properties. If you are building a form with deep nesting, simply pass in a list to the nested object, and CFWheels will figure it out.
position
string
No
The position used when referencing a hasMany relationship in the association argument. Used for building nested forms that work with nested properties. If you are building a form with deep nestings, simply pass in a list of positions, and CFWheels will figure it out.
encode
boolean
No
true
Use this argument to decide whether the output of the function should be encoded in order to prevent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Set it to true to encode all relevant output for the specific HTML element in question (e.g. tag content, attribute values, and URLs). For HTML elements that have both tag content and attribute values you can set this argument to attributes to only encode attribute values and not tag content.
