Overview
Runique provides a powerful form system inspired by Django. There are two approaches:
- Manual — Define fields via the
RuniqueFormtrait. - Automatic — Derive a form from a
model!schema with#[form(...)].
Forms are automatically extracted from requests via request.form(), handle validation (including via the validator crate for emails/URLs), CSRF, Argon2 password hashing, and can be saved directly to the database.
