I'm a novice in Laravel development. I'm learning about Form. But I'm not understanding why i need to learn again about Form for Laravel as i know how to use form in pure html. I'm confused about that should i use laravel's collective form or Pure Html Form? Which is better?
I find collective to be more useful in two ways.
1) Using Laravel collective gives CSRF protection automatically by including hidden field with a security token as a form element which traditional html form does not and you have do that manually by using {{ csrf_field() }}. Not including is erroneous.
2) When updating the database info, Form::model() to bind the data to form fields and makes it way easier to populate the form fields with the data to be edited like auto checking checkboxes etc. which saves quite a overhead.
