Milk Admin

Getting Started with Forms

Revision: 2025/10/18

This tutorial will guide you through creating forms in MilkAdmin. You can create forms automatically starting from the Model with the Builder or manage them manually with the framework classes.

FormBuilder

The fastest way to create forms in MilkAdmin is to use the FormBuilder, which automatically generates form fields from the Model structure.

Basic Example

Starting from an already configured model, you can create a complete form simply by writing:

use Builders\FormBuilder;
use App\{Response, Abstract\AbstractModule};
class ProductModule extends AbstractModule {
    #[RequestAction('edit')]
    public function actionEdit() {
        $form = FormBuilder::create($this->model)->getForm();
        Response::render($form);
    }
}
✅ Done! With these few lines you have a complete form with:
  • All Model fields
  • Automatic validation
  • Save button
  • CSRF token handling
  • Saving for new or modified records

Under the Hood
