Rendering a Form: form_row

{{ form_label(form.url) }}

{{ form_errors(form.url) }}

{{ form_widget(form.url) }}

Rendering a Form: form_label

{{ form_label(form.url, "Clip URL") }}

<label for="form_url" class="required">Clip URL</label>

Rendering a Form: form_errors

{{ form_errors(form.url) }}

<ul><li>This value is not a valid URL.</li></ul>

Rendering a Form: form_widget
