Form

The form kit provides consumers with a convenient, consistently styled <form> wrapper.

Form Helpers

This kit uses rails form_with with our custom builder to render forms using other kits such as text_input, select, and typeahead to name a few. Doing so provides UI consistency within forms and makes adding a form to your page easier.
