Passing attributes to formfield via formconfig and template not working

Hi I think there is a misunderstanding of what the arguments after with are doing.
With with you can pass additional template variables into the template that is used to render the widget. The template is then responsible for rendering those template variables into actual attributes of the widget. So to make your example work, you would need to overwrite the template floppyforms/input.html with the following content:

<input type="{{ type }}" name="{{ name }}"{% if value %} value="{{ value }}"{% endif %}{% if required %} required{% endif %}{% include "floppyforms/attrs.html" %}{% if datalist %} list="{{ attrs.id }}_list"{% endif %}{% if placeholder %} placeholder="{{ placeholder }}"{% endif %}>{% if datalist %}
<datalist id="{{ attrs.id }}_list">{% for item in datalist %}
    <option value="{{ item }}">{% endfor %}
</datalist>{% endif %}

Please especially note the section: {% if placeholder %} placeholder="{{ placeholder }}"{% endif %} which I have added.

The documentation should probably be updated then, as both the sections about formconfig and formfield are saying that my original implementation would work.

However, even if I pass a dict called attrs that looks like {'placeholder':'foo'}, that looks like it should be getting passed to attrs.html and written out, correct? The reason I'm having trouble is that it's going to be quite difficult for me to determine in the template which formfield template I need to use (input, select, etc.), as I'm just making a generic formrow template, and want to pass through things like placeholders and classnames
