OptionsFormElementBuilder

To quickly create a list of options, either as a select, list of checkboxes or list or radio buttons.

Element and builder

The OptionsFormElementBuilder builds an AbstractNodeViewElement. A builder can be created using BootstrapViewElements.bootstrap.builders.option.options() factory methods.

This builder can be used to create a list of options. The default implementation is a select element which can be extended with a bootstrap-select implementation.
