```bash
git clone https://github.com/nagieeb0/ash_form_builder.git
cd ash_form_builder
mix deps.get
mix test

```

--------------------------------

### Generate Live CRUD Interface

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

Use the `mix ash_form_builder.gen.live` command to generate a full CRUD LiveView interface for a given resource. This example generates for 'Accounts User'.

```bash
mix ash_form_builder.gen.live Accounts User
```

--------------------------------

### Implement a Custom Theme

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

Create a custom theme by implementing the `AshFormBuilder.Theme` behaviour. This example shows how to render a text input field using Phoenix Components and custom classes.

```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.CustomTheme do
  @behaviour AshFormBuilder.Theme
  use Phoenix.Component

  @impl AshFormBuilder.Theme
  def render_field(assigns, opts) do
    case assigns.field.type do
      :text_input -> render_text_input(assigns)
      :multiselect_combobox -> render_combobox(assigns)
      # ... etc
    end
  end

  defp render_text_input(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    <div class="form-group">
      <label for={Phoenix.HTML.Form.input_id(@form, @field.name)}>
        {@field.label}
      </label>
      <input
        type="text"
        id={Phoenix.HTML.Form.input_id(@form, @field.name)}
        class="form-control"
      />
    </div>
    """
  end
end
```

--------------------------------

### Fetch Dependencies

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

After updating `mix.exs`, run this command to fetch the new dependencies.

```bash
mix deps.get
```

--------------------------------

### Generate Live CRUD with Custom Options

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

Demonstrates using generator options like `--page-size` to control the number of rows per page and `--out` to specify a custom output directory.

```bash
mix ash_form_builder.gen.live Inventory Product --page-size 50
mix ash_form_builder.gen.live Accounts User --out lib/my_app_web/live/admin
```

  retro:    MyAppWeb.Themes.Retro
```

--------------------------------

### Generated LiveView Index Module

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

This is the generated `index.ex` file for a LiveView. It includes necessary `use` statements, aliases, and callback implementations for handling parameters, form submissions, and delete events.

```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.UserLive.Index do
  use MyAppWeb, :live_view
  use Cinder.UrlSync         # injects handle_info for URL sync automatically

  alias MyApp.Accounts.User

  @collection_id "user-collection"

  def mount(_params, _session, socket) do
    {:ok, assign(socket, url_state: false, record: nil, form: nil)}
  end

  def handle_params(params, uri, socket) do
    socket = Cinder.UrlSync.handle_params(params, uri, socket)
    {:noreply, apply_action(socket, socket.assigns.live_action, params)}
  end

  # Triggered by AshFormBuilder.FormComponent after a successful Ash action
  def handle_info({:form_submitted, User, _result}, socket) do
    {:noreply,
     socket
     |> put_flash(:info, "User saved successfully.")
     |> Cinder.refresh_table(@collection_id)   # async re-query, no page reload
     |> push_patch(to: ~p"/users")}
  end

  def handle_event("delete", %{"id" => id}, socket) do
    User |> Ash.get!(id, actor: socket.assigns[:current_user])
         |> Ash.destroy!(actor: socket.assigns[:current_user])
    {:noreply, socket |> put_flash(:info, "User deleted.") |> Cinder.refresh_table(@collection_id)}
  end
end
```

--------------------------------

### Testing Form Rendering and Creation

```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.TaskLiveTest do
  use MyAppWeb.ConnCase

  import Phoenix.LiveViewTest

  test "renders form with auto-inferred fields", %{conn: conn} do
    {:ok, _view, html} = live_isolated(conn, MyAppWeb.TaskLive.Form)
    
    assert html =~ "Task Title"
    assert html =~ "Description"
    assert html =~ "Completed"
  end

  test "creates task and redirects", %{conn: conn} do
    {:ok, view, _html} = live_isolated(conn, MyAppWeb.TaskLive.Form)
    
    assert form(view, "#task-form", task: %{
      title: "Test Task",
      description: "Test description"
    }) |> render_submit()
    
    assert_redirect(view, ~p"/tasks/*")
  end
end
```

Configure separate 'form' blocks for create and update actions within the same Ash resource. This allows for distinct field configurations and submit labels for each action.

```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Todos.Task do
  use Ash.Resource,
    domain: MyApp.Todos,
    extensions: [AshFormBuilder]

  # ... attributes and relationships

  actions do
    defaults [:create, :read, :update, :destroy]
  end

  # CREATE form configuration
  form do
    action :create
    submit_label "Create Task"

    field :title do
      label "Task Title"
      placeholder "Enter task title"
      required true
    end
  end

  # UPDATE form configuration (separate block)
  form do
    action :update
    submit_label "Save Changes"

    # Can have different field customizations for update
    field :title do
      label "Task Title"

--------------------------------

### Custom Action Form Helpers

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

Demonstrates how Ash Form Builder generates helper functions for custom actions, including record-shaped actions and generic action calls.

```elixir
actions do
  create  :create do …
  update  :update do …
  update  :archive, accept: [] do …
  update  :publish, accept: [:published_at] do …
end

forms do
  form :create  do … end
  form :update  do … end
  form :archive do submit_label "Archive" end
  form :publish do submit_label "Publish now" end
end
```

```elixir
# Auto-generated:
MyApp.Posts.Post.Form.for_create()                      # :create  (resource form)
MyApp.Posts.Post.Form.for_update(post)                  # :update  (record form)
MyApp.Posts.Post.Form.for_archive(post, actor: user)    # :archive (record form)
MyApp.Posts.Post.Form.for_publish(post, actor: user)    # :publish (record form)

# Plus the generic fallback for anything else:
MyApp.Posts.Post.Form.for_action(:custom, record: post, actor: user)
```

--------------------------------

### LiveView Handler for Combobox Search

def handle_event("search_tags", %{"query" => query}, socket) do
  tags = MyApp.Todos.Tag
           |> Ash.Query.filter(contains(name: ^query))
           |> MyApp.Todos.read!()
  
  {:noreply, push_event(socket, "update_combobox_options", %{
    field: "tags",
    options: Enum.map(tags, &{&1.name, &1.id})
  })}
end
```

--------------------------------

### Generated LiveView Index Template

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

This is the generated HEEx template for the LiveView index page. It includes a header with a 'New User' link, a `Cinder.collection` for displaying users, and a modal for creating or editing users using `AshFormBuilder.FormComponent`.

```html
<.header>
  Users
  <:actions>
    <.link patch={~p"/users/new"}><.button>New User</.button></.link>
  </:actions>
</.header>

<%!-- Cinder.collection: filterable, sortable, paginated — state synced to URL --%> 
<Cinder.collection
  id="user-collection"
  resource={MyApp.Accounts.User}
  actor={assigns[:current_user]}
  url_state={@url_state}
  page_size={25}
  empty_message="No users found."
>
  <%!-- TODO: Replace with your resource's real attributes (see Customising Columns) --%> 
  <:col :let={user} field="id" sort label="ID">{user.id}</:col>

  <:col :let={user} label="Actions">
    <.link patch={~p"/users/#{user}/edit"}>Edit</.link>
    <.link phx-click="delete" phx-value-id={user.id}
           data-confirm="Delete this user? This cannot be undone.">Delete</.link>
  </:col>
</Cinder.collection>

<%!-- Modal: mounts only for :new and :edit live_actions --%> 
<.modal :if={@live_action in [:new, :edit]} id="user-modal" show
        on_cancel={JS.patch(~p"/users")}>
  <.live_component
    module={AshFormBuilder.FormComponent}
    id={if @record, do: "user-edit-#{@record.id}", else: "user-new"}
    resource={MyApp.Accounts.User}
    form={@form}
    submit_label={if @live_action == :new, do: "Create User", else: "Save Changes"}
  />
</.modal>
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Creatable Combobox Field

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

This DSL configuration enables the 'creatable' feature for a multiselect combobox, allowing users to create new related records directly from the form. It specifies the create action, label, and search event.

```elixir
forms do
  form :create do
    field :tags do
      type :multiselect_combobox
      opts [
        creatable: true,
        create_action: :create,
        create_label: "Create \"",
        search_event: "search_tags"
      ]
    end
  end
end
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Dynamic Nested Has-Many Form

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/ash_form_builder/0.4.0

relationships do
  has_many :subtasks, MyApp.Todos.Subtask
end

forms do
  form :create do
    nested :subtasks do
      label "Subtasks"
      cardinality :many
      add_label "Add Subtask"
      remove_label "Remove"

      field :title do
        required true

```elixir
relationships do
  many_to_many :tags, MyApp.Todos.Tag do
    through MyApp.Todos.TaskTag
  end
end

actions do
  create :create do
    accept [:title]
    manage_relationship :tags, :tags, type: :append_and_remove
  end
end

forms do
  form :create do
    field :tags do
      type :multiselect_combobox
      opts [
        search_event: "search_tags",
        debounce: 300,
        label_key: :name,

defmodule MyApp.Todos.Task do
  use Ash.Resource,
    domain: MyApp.Todos,
    extensions: [AshFormBuilder]

  attributes do
    uuid_primary_key :id
    attribute :title,       :string,  allow_nil?: false, public?: true
    attribute :description, :string,                     public?: true
    attribute :completed,   :boolean, default: false,    public?: true
  end

  actions do
    defaults [:read, :destroy]

    create :create do
      accept [:title, :description, :completed]
    end

    update :update do
      accept [:title, :description, :completed]
    end
  end

  forms do
    form :create do
      submit_label "Create Task"
      accent       :teal
