case class Form[T](mapping: Mapping[T], data: Map[String, String], errors: Seq[FormError], value: Option[T]) extends Product with Serializable
Helper to manage HTML form description, submission and validation.
For example, a form handling a User
case class submission:
import play.api.data._ import play.api.data.Forms._ import play.api.data.format.Formats._ val userForm = Form( mapping( "name" -> of[String], "age" -> of[Int], "email" -> of[String] )(User.apply)(User.unapply) )

- mapping
the form mapping, which describes all form fields
- data

- errors

- value
