About this course

This tutorial is built on Symfony 3 but form theming hasn't changed much in Symfony 4 and Symfony 5. Other than some path differences - this tutorial should work fine.

// composer.json
{
    "require": {
        "php": "^7.1.3",

We already learned all the form basics. But, controlling how you render your forms? That's a huge and super-fun topic all on its own. Themes! Form variables! Rainbows! Let's go!
