Using Hidden Meta Data

Additional data can be used for form processing, that is not sent to the user's browser, rather stored locally.

Meta data is added in the Twig template where {{ boltforms() }} is used, via the meta parameter. This parameter is an associative array of property names and a set of value keys:

• use — Either a string or array of places that the data should be passed to
• value — A string, number or array

An example would be:

{{ boltforms('my_form',
    meta = {
        'name': {
            use: [ 'database', 'email' ],
            value: variable_value
        },
        'id': {
            use: 'database',
            value: record.id
        },
        'koala': {
            value: { food: 'Gum Leaves', shelter: 'Gum Tree' }
        }
    })
}}
