php - Laravel 4: Can't get model data with a form macro on edit form -

on edit forms have problem populate form fields data stored in db.

when use code snippet doc everything's fine. need append css class form field, , cannot passed argument for:

{{ form::text('email') }}

so i've created below form::macro

form::macro('textclass', function($name, $class = null) {     return '<input type="text" name="'.$name.'" id="'.$name.'" class="'.$class.'"/>'; });

so can use on views:

{{ form::textclass('email', 'm-wrap span12') }}

but field doesn't populated model data.

any idea on how fix this?

for reference if want check form generates can vendor/laravel/framework/src/illuminate/html/formbuilder.

in formbuilder class you'll find methods inputs. method text input looks this

 public function text($name, $value = null, $options = array())  {     return $this->input('text', $name, $value, $options);  }

as can see second parameter value , third options array.

so form

form::text('email', null, array('class'=>'m-wrap span12'))
