Hello i am a beginner to scala play framework. I am unable to create form with two or more inputs. i googled it and found none in scala programming language. Kindly suggest me an idea regarding how to create multiple inputs in a form using scala. i did this
val form = Form (tuple
(
"firstname"-> text,
"lastname" -> text
)
) and to get the values val(fname,lname) = form.bindFromRequest.get
am i following correct way. Kindly suggest me any idea or resource to learn scala play framework . Thanks in advance

Here is a complete (but simple) form example for Play 2.1.1. Including the view, controller and routes file. I suspect you were missing imports and / or an implicit request. Both of which would be understandable!
The controller (Application.scala):
package controllers
import play.api._
import play.api.mvc._
import play.api.data._
import play.api.data.Forms._
object Application extends Controller {
val form = Form(
tuple(
"firstname" -> text,
"lastname" -> text
)
)
def index = Action {
Ok(views.html.index())
}
def submit = Action { implicit request =>
val (fname, lname) = form.bindFromRequest.get
Ok("Hi %s %s".format(fname, lname))
}
}
The view (index.scala.html):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Form example</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" autocomplete="on">
First name:<input type="text" name="firstname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
And the routes:
GET / controllers.Application.index
POST / controllers.Application.submit
NB: The name attributes in your HTML view must match the string literals in your controller form.
Hope that helps.
