View Source Phoenix.HTML.FormData protocol (Phoenix.HTML v4.1.1)
Converts a data structure into a Phoenix.HTML.Form struct.
Ecto integration
Phoenix provides integration of forms with Ecto changesets and data structures via the phoenix_ecto package. If a project was generated without Ecto support that dependency will need to be manually added.
