Adding classes/ids to forms in Laravel 4

Question

I am trying to add classes and ids to specific elements of a form in Laravel 4. For example, I would like this:

<textarea type="text" id="description" onfocus="this.value=''; setbg('#f0f7f8');" onblur="setbg('white')" name="description" value="" rows="10"></textarea>

to be applied to:

{{ Form::label('description', 'Description:') }}
{{ Form::textarea('description')}}

I didn't see this in the documentation. Thank you!

Answer 1

Use the third parameter for the Form::textarea method, passing a key-value array. Ex:

Form::textarea('description', null, [
    'id'      => 'description',
    'rows'    => 10,
]);
