Hari KT: Aura Input Form Inside Slim Framework

Hari KT has a new post to his site today showing how you can integrate the Aura PHP components into a Slim framework application for input handling, like from a form. Aura PHP is a set of decoupled components for things like CLI handling, dependency injection and SQL requests (among others).

Rob Allen wrote about Integrating ZF2 forms into Slim. I did write how you can use Aura.Input and Aura.Html to create standalone form for PHP. This time I felt I should write about integrating aura input inside Slim.

He includes the Composer configuration to install the HTML and Input components as well as an up-to-date version of the Slim framework. Code showing how to create the form class (a "Contact form") is included, showing both the creation of the elements and the filtering/validation checks put on each. He shows how the Slim routes would handle the request as well as how the view processes the request and displays the form via a helper. You can get the full working code in this repository over on GitHub.
