Simple form beautifier
Formikation is a simple jQuery plugin to beautify form inputs with some css.
The elements to work with are:
input:checkbox
input:radiobutton
input:file
select
Demo
Take a look to online demo, there are some examples with diferent themes.
HTML Requisites
The only html requisite is to style radiobuttons and checkboxes. Them must be wrapped by a label
<label> <input type="checkbox" name="check" id="check"> Checkbox label </label> <label> <input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio"> Radio label </label>
Utility CSS
Formikation comes with a utility CSS that includes the neccessary CSS styles to work, without any visual styles on it. To add the utility CSS styles, add the .formikation
class to yout form element this way:
<form action="/" class="formikation" > ...
Themes
The visual styling of the formikation elements comes in an independet stylesheet, to keep separated the visual representation from the utility classes. Two themes are included in the repository .fk-theme-default
and .fk-theme-switches
.
Include the .fk-theme-default
class on the parent element along the base .formikation
class, this way:
<form action="/" class="formikation fk-theme-default" > ...
If you want to develop your own theme, take a look to src/themes/fk-theme-default.scss
and use it as base to do your own customization.
Initialization
Call Formikation jQuery plugin on ready function:
$(function() { $('form.formikation').find('select, input:file, input:checkbox, input:radio').formikation(); });
Update elements with JS
If you need to update any formikation element with js, it’s necessary to trigger formikation.update event to get UI change reflected.
// Active a checkbox $('.form-element').prop('checked', true).trigger('formikation.update');
IE8
IE8 has some dificults on repainting :before
and :after
pseudo-elements after change checkbox or radiobuttons status.
Is simple to fix it, just change pseudo-element content from ''
to ' '
(this fix is applied on default theme).
