Forms

Forms are essential for user input and data collection. They enable users to submit information, perform searches, and interact with the application. Properly designed forms enhance user experience and ensure data accuracy.

Forms rely on input elements to collect data, and they often include buttons for submission or other actions. Labels provide context and guidance for users, while placeholders offer hints about the expected input.

Example: Login Form

Explanation

The login form consists of the following elements:

Username Input: A text input field for the user to enter their username.
Password Input: A password input field for the user to enter their password. The input type is set to "password" to mask the characters.
Icons Icons are used to visually showcase what everything does inside that input field.
Login Button: A primary button to submit the form and initiate the login process.

Each element is placed within a form control container to ensure proper spacing and alignment. The labels provide clear instructions to the user, and the input fields are styled using DaisyUI classes for a consistent look and feel.
