CakePHP 3.0 - Correct way to append / prepend HTML on FormHelper

Hi everyone,

I am porting my CakePHP 2.0 helpers to CakePHP 3.0 and I am facing some troubles with my custom FormHelper. The helpers are made to be used with bootstrap, the two form helpers can be found here:

• CakePHP 2 - https://github.com/Holt59/cakephp-bootstrap3-helpers/blob/master/View/Helper/BootstrapFormHelper.php
• CakePHP 3 - https://github.com/Holt59/cakephp3-bootstrap3-helpers/blob/master/View/Helper/BootstrapFormHelper.php

In the BootstrapFormHelper::input method, I have a 'prepend' and 'append' options which are used to create bootstrap input groups. With the 2.0 version, I used the 'before' and 'after' options to create such groups but these options are not available anymore with CakePHP 3.0 so what I'm doing is a temporary template change:

$oldTemplate = $this->templates('input') ;
if ($options['prepend']) {
    $this->templates([
        'input' => /* ... */
    ]) ;
}
$res = parent::input(/* ... */) ;
$this->templates([
    'input' => $oldTemplate
]) ;
return $res ;

Is there a better way to do such thing with CakePHP 3.0?

Thanks,
