The Forms component introduces:

• <%= code("app/components/shadcn/form_builder.rb") %>
• <%= code("app/helpers/components/forms_helper.rb") %>

The Shadcn::FormBuilder is a custom form builder that extends the FormBuilder class. It adds the following methods that provide the form with inputs and controls:

• <%= code("label") %>
• <%= code("text_field") %>
• <%= code("password_field") %>
• <%= code("email_field") %>

To use these methods which generate the styled, ActiveModel backed form, you use the <%= code("render_form_for") %> or <%= code("render_form_with") %> methods provided by <%= code("app/helpers/components/forms_helper.rb") %>. These methods yield the common FormBuilder instance that you can use to generate the controls and inputs above.

If a form field or attribute fails validation, its label and input will be given an error class to allow for styling. The default error style is defined in <%= code("app/assets/stylesheets/shadcn.css") %>
