Forms are relatively easy to create. At the bare minimum, each element or fieldset requires a name; typically, you’ll also provide some attributes to hint to the view layer how it might render the item. The form itself will also typically compose an InputFilter– which you can also conveniently create directly in the form via a factory. Individual elements can hint as to what defaults to use when generating a related input for the input filter.
