Play Framework's JavaForms

Question

So in JavaForms section of Play 2.1.1 documentation, there is a line of code:

Form<User> userForm = form(User.class);

Where does this "form(User.class)" function come from?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

form(...) is a static method of the play.data.Form class.

If you import play.data.Form, you can use Form.form(User.class) or you can do a static import to use only the form(User.class) syntax : import static play.data.Form.form;
