Allow class in field definition

[rgstephens]

I'm customizing my bootstrap views for mobile layout and would like to specify fields that are only shown in the desktop view using the bootstrap class "visible-desktop". I'd like to use the "class" specification as part of "fields" to accomplish this.

I'm particularly interested in doing this for a data_view.

I assume the best alternative at this point is to create a template.

@perak I was looking to work on adding this feature to Meteor Kitchen but I don't see the actual kitchen source posted. Is this something I can help with?

[perak]

@rgstephens excuse me for late answer. Kitchen-cli is not open source yet. I published on kitchen site that my attention is to open the source (and it is) but I was under negotiations with the company who asked me to wait - to not open the source yet before they decide what to do.

Now, I can say that kitchen-cli will go open source for sure, please just a little bit patience. And thank you fir your good will to contribute.

About your particular problem: in meantime, I can add possibility to define any css class to the generated fields. Would that work?

[rgstephens]

@perak That would work great. Thanks.

@rgstephens added input_control_class property to field object. And there is old input_group_class property too.

This example shows where classes will be added:

<div class="form-group INPUT_GROUP_CLASS">
    <label for="someField">Some Field</label>
    <div class="input-div">
        <input type="text" name="someField" value="12345" class="form-control INPUT_CONTROL_CLASS">
        <span id="error-text" class="help-block"></span>
    </div>
</div>

Will be published in v0.9.63 most likely tomorrow (~24 hours after now).

@perak, this is working as you've documented it with forms but I'd also like to set class when the field is used in a table. It may be that I'll start using custom_template more.

In the end, I think it would be better to have view-based class settings. "class_in_dataview" or something like that.

@rgstephens ah... data_view, not form - I didn't read issue carefully enough. I'll add that in next version.
