Play Framework HTML5 input elements

The built in Play input elements are fairly restrictive in that you can’t specify the input type. I wrote a helper template that you can use to generate input elements which have HTML5 type attributes such as url, email, number, search etc. etc.

All you have to do is call the template method, passing the HTML input type as a parameter. For example:

@helper.html5.input(form("website"), '_label -> "Website:", 'type -> "url")

If you have a form field mapped as a play.api.data.Forms.email then the template will automatically infer it’s type so you don’t have to pass the type attribute in with your html attributes:

@helper.html5.input(form("email"), '_label -> "Email:")

If your field has the required constraint, e.g. it is a “nonEmptyText” then the template will add the HTML5 “required” attribute to the field as well.

You can get the source code here.

  1. At this time it sounds like Expression Engine is the top blogging platform available
    right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your
    blog?

  2. Having read this I believed it was really informative. I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put
    this content together. I once again find myself spending way too much time both reading and posting comments.

    But so what, it was still worthwhile!

  4. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get
    that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance.

    I must say that you’ve done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet explorer.
    Exceptional Blog!
