Creating a Flick instance, and the properties available on it.

Static Methods

Flick::make

Creates a new Flick form instance. A fluent alternative to new Flick().

use Flick\Flick;

// Basic usage
$form = Flick::make();

// With configuration array
$form = Flick::make([
    'id' => 'contactForm',
    'views' => 'bootstrap',
    'csrf' => true
]);

// Shorthand: pass view name directly
$form = Flick::make('tailwind');

Parameters:

• $config - array|string (optional) - Configuration array or view name string

Returns: Flick - A new Flick instance

Properties

handlers

• Type: ResponseHandlers
• The response handlers instance for customizing how Flick responds to events.

Access this property to customize response behavior after instantiation:

$form = Flick::make('bootstrap');

// Customize handlers after creation
$form->handlers->onRedirect(fn($r) => redirect($r->getUrl()));
$form->handlers->onHoneypot(fn() => abort(403));

Or configure handlers at instantiation time via the config array:

$form = Flick::make([
    'onRedirect' => fn($r) => redirect($r->getUrl()),
    'onHoneypot' => fn() => abort(403),
]);

See Framework Integration for detailed usage.

session

• Type: SessionInterface
• The session adapter instance used by Flick.

Access this property to interact with the session directly:

$form = Flick::make('bootstrap');

// Store and retrieve values
$form->session->setValue('step', 1);
$currentStep = $form->session->getValue('step');

// Regenerate session ID (security - call after login)
$form->session->regenerateId(true);

// Check session state
if ($form->session->isActive()) {
    // Session is ready
}

See Session Adapters for custom adapters and framework integration.
