Grid Element

Demonstrates the use of GridElement in Laravel VueForm to create structured multi-column layouts. This form allows arranging form fields into rows with configurable column counts (1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 columns). Each row can contain different input types, such as text, select, date, and slider elements, enabling clean and organized form designs. Ideal for forms that require responsive and visually structured data entry. Documentation
