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

use the `inputContainer` template to wrap the content like this:

'inputContainer' => '<div class="form-group input {{type}}{{required}}">{{content}}</div>',

or create a custom widget, depending on how much customisation you want
