Laravel Forms without using Blade

Question

Is it possible to build a laravel application without using Blade to create the forms? I write the application's code, and my designer takes care of all the visual elements/css. He uses Dreamweaver and other software to generate the forms. Now is it possible for me to use these forms as they are, and still use Laravel's methodologies like routing?

The first place I'm stuck at is that I have a registration form, however it does not use blade and hence I am not entirely sure how to submit the form. Any help here is appreciated, I am here to learn!

Some sample code from the form itself -

<form data-abide>

<div class="row">
<div class="large-6 columns">
<label>First Name
<input type="text" name="first_name" placeholder="" pattern="alpha" maxlength="25" autofocus required />
</label>
</div>
<div class="large-6 columns">
<label>Last Name
<input type="text" name="last_name" placeholder="" pattern="alpha" maxlength="25" required />
</label>
</div>
</div><!-- .row -->

<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<label>Choose your username
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Only letters, numbers and periods please!" pattern="^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\.]{3,20}$" maxlength="45" required />
</label>
<small class="error">You can only use letters, numbers and periods. Your username must have at least 4 characters.</small>
</div>
</div><!-- .row -->

<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<button class="button" type="submit">Sign up</button>
</div>
</div><!-- .row -->

</form>

I personally do my forms myself, and fill it in with laravels data. Basically, you can submit the form to a controller like so:

URL::action('FooController@method');

Or if you have routing setup, you can use that too! Check out laravels docs on that! http://laravel.com/docs/routing

Blade is just a template engine. You dont have to use it.

However you will realistically have to use PHP to create the forms, as you will need to dynamically insert variables, such as $id or routes.

If you want to use Laravel methodolgy like routing, you will need to do something like this

<?php URL::route('user.index') ?>

I've also seen Smarty as a plug-in replacement for Blade
