Thank you! I had something similar so I am definitely on a good path, however every time I am trying to access any field attributes within the loop I am getting this error.

Cannot access protected property Statamic\Fields\Field::$config

@foreach ($form['fields'] as $field)
    {{ $field->handle }}
@endforeach

Ah yeah, you need to use the handle and config methods:

{{ $field->handle() }}
{{ $field->config()['type'] }}

Ohh, I didnt realize those are methods, it makes sense now. Thank you Jack!

No problem. I've updated the gist with a more complete example of how to use this as well.

One thing I missed, you can also use $field->type(), $field->display() and $field->get('key') as a shortcut for $field->config()['key'].

That makes it look a lot cleaner in templates, thank you :) This is a great workaround to use forms with Blade and have it fully customisable at the same time.

Thanks Jack, really helpful!

@markverg You’re welcome!

FYI: As of 3.3.28 you can now get this data from the built-in form tag. 👍

Thanks, we were on 3.3.25 but looking at the commit I did notice it's now in 3.3.28 so will upgrade right away.

One more thing (sorry)..
I noticed after a submit the field values are missing, I try to put back the values in case of errors so the user can just correct the field(s) and re-submit. Is that just me or is that fixed when using the 3.3.28 native way?

The old values seem to work, so switching to the now native function.
Thanks a lot for all your work!!
