[web-devel] Caustom layouts for forms

[Greg Weber]

I have a single field form that uses the following code, hopefully it gives
you a good idea:

mkPersist [persist|
Query
  term String
|]

runSearchForm = do
  ((res, form), _) <- runFormMonadGet queryForm
  return (res, form)
  where
    queryForm = do
      (term, queryField) <- searchField True "Search" Nothing
      return (Query <$> term, [hamlet| ^{fiInput queryField} |])
