Form-errors Tag

If a form submission encounters a validation error, you can use this tag to loop through the error messages and show your user where everything went south.

Example#

This tag can be used both as a conditional and as the data itself.

{{ form:set is="contact" }}
    {{ if {form:errors} }}
        <p>Oops, here's what went wrong:</p>
        <ul>
            {{ form:errors }}
                <li>{{ value }}</li>
            {{ /form:errors }}
        </ul>
    {{ /if }}
    {{ form:create }}
        ...
    {{ /form:create }}
{{ /form:set }}

Hot Tip!

form:errors is a Tag, not a variable. Be sure to wrap it with single braces when inside a condition.
