This macro evaluates an $options array, generating a label, input element and validation error
message. There’s white a lot of checking involved to ensure that all the required data is there, and
that optional data affects the generated markup correctly. It supports text inputs, password inputs,
checkboxes and hidden fields; but more types can easily be added.

The markup this macro generates is Bootstrap friendly. If you haven’t already heard of Bootstrap

To see this in action, we need to include it in the startup processes of the application and then modify
the form views to use it:
1 require app_path() . "/macros.php";
