Question

I have created view.input package in play framework and then form.scala.html file under it. now I want to use redirect in class as below:

return ok(form.render(somevalue));

here I am not able to get form which I have created under views and so I am getting an error. why is it so?

Thank you.

You should try:

return ok(views.html.input.form.render(someValue));

or even:

import views.html.input.form;

...
    return ok(form.render(someValue));
...

but in such case it’s best to build view’s name with package prefix for visual differencing them from views from views package /app/views/input/inputForm.scala.html:

import views.html.input.inputForm;

...
return ok(inputForm.render(someValue));
