Tags are not properly accessible through forms

Correct, it's not exposed on the main entry point.

You can do require('forms/lib/tag'), but it's not really intended to be consumed outside the module.

I suppose my followup question is this: Is there a way to implement section headers or separators for different parts of the same form? The tag functionality didn't work as I thought it might, since it's treated as a form element and not a separate entity. Is there a better way to natively create just a plain div in the middle of different inputs?

I achieved such a div through a custom HTML field/widget, only way to do it I think.

Would like to wrap up all of the custom fields I've created at work and make a PR of it so that we can improve the workflow for creating custom fields and widgets, but so far unfortunately haven't had time yet. Is that something that would be of interest?

[SheaBelsky]

That would be great, or at least a PR to show how you would create such a widget. I'm at a loss as to how to do it.

[ljharb]

Yes, a custom widget would do it.

@voxpelli As far as PRring custom fields into this module, that would depend on the specific module. I'm happy to review a PR but I can't promise any of them would make it in without reviewing them first.

[SheaBelsky]

@voxpelli Were you ever able to do a PR? Or could you post your code for the widget here? :)

[SheaBelsky]

Sort of a hacky way of doing this, but it's better than nothing. I created a label widget that did not correspond to any other input element, and supplied the content I wanted.

Test_Tag: widgets.label({
    classes: ["form-section-header"],
    content: "User Information"
}),

From there, you can customize the appearance of the header however you want with the form-section-header CSS class. This is effectively what I needed. :)

I finally got this released as the html field here: https://github.com/Sydsvenskan/node-forms-utils#fields
