Fieldset elements

A FieldsetFormElement writes a <fieldset> tag to the output.

Element and builder

The ViewElement implementation for a fieldset element is a FieldsetFormElement and has a corresponding FieldsetFormElementBuilder. A FieldsetFormElement can also be created via the BootstrapViewElements.bootstrap.builders#fieldset factory methods.

Examples

Creating a fieldset

import static com.foreach.across.modules.bootstrapui.ui.factories.BootstrapViewElements.bootstrap;

bootstrap.builders.fieldset().legend("Author")
                   .build();

Child elements

import static com.foreach.across.modules.bootstrapui.ui.factories.BootstrapViewElements.bootstrap;

bootstrap.builders.fieldset().legend( "Author" )
                   .add( bootstrap.builders.textbox() )
                   .build()

Customizing the legend

The legend can also have additional child view elements, which can be added through the Legend builder of the fieldset.

import static com.foreach.across.modules.bootstrapui.ui.factories.BootstrapViewElements.bootstrap;

bootstrap.builders.fieldset()
       .legend() (1)
       .text( "Author" )
       .add( IconSet.iconSet( FONT_AWESOME_SOLID_ICON_SET ).icon( "user" ) )
       .and()
       .build()

Providing a value to the legend method will not give access to the builder for the legend element. As such, the following configuration will add the provided view elements to the fieldset instead of to the legend.

import static com.foreach.across.modules.bootstrapui.ui.factories.BootstrapViewElements.bootstrap;

bootstrap.builders.fieldset()
   .legend( "Author" )
   .add( IconSet.iconSet( FONT_AWESOME_SOLID_ICON_SET ).icon( "user" )  )
   .build()
