I have started here: https://github.com/adamwathan/bootforms/pull/72

Cool! I think we should probably make the Bootstrap 4 version a separate package so we don't break support for v3 though.

Currently even the switch to fieldset makes no difference, as the fieldset has no styles anyways, so a div looks the same. Let's wait until Bootstrap 4 is closer to release so we know what the final changes to the form markup will be and then fork this for a Bootstrap 4 version.

The fieldset change defiantly makes a difference. Just tested it here. <div class="form-group"> breaks everything, whereas <fieldset class="form-group"> solves it.

Agreed on new package; can you create such, and we can start working already?

This is a screenshot from the Bootstrap 4 docs, I changed some of these to divs and left some as fieldsets. Can you tell which ones are divs?

These are the styles applied by the fieldset:

div elements get those same styles by default.

Is it maybe only in the horizontal or inline layouts or something that things change?

[simplenotezy]

Yes I experienced this on horizontal form.

Bootstrap 4 is considerably further along now — would you consider creating the separate package so development can start on bootforms for Bootstrap 4?

[adamwathan]

Hey @jeff-h, I'm not actually using this package myself anymore and don't have any intention of adopting Bootstrap 4 on my own projects, but I'd happily support anyone who would like to fork this package to create a dedicated Bootstrap 4 version.

Hi all,

I have been looking for an alternative (both BS 3 and BS 4) but so far I did not get much success.

The best I found was Spatie's package to produce HTML with some nifty functions.

So I have extended their package and will hopefully get to a 1.0 some time soon as I need this on a client project.

I would appreciate any contribution there to help make a decent alternative to this package that Adam has been kind enough to offer for so many years.

Here is the project for Bootstrap 4 helpers (currently about 70% done for forms, no version tagged yet) and a companion for Font Awesome (stable 1.0.3)
