## Tags

### Default

You can change the default `fieldset` tag by passing the `tag` property to the `<vue-form-generator />` component in your markup.

```html
<vue-form-generator tag="div" :model="model" :schema="schema" :options="options"></vue-form-generator>
```

### Per group

You can also change the `fieldset` tag per group by adding a tag to the group definition:

```js
{
groups: [
{
tag: "section",
...
}
]
}
```

## Subgroups

You can create a subgroup by adding a `groups` definition inside of a top-level `groups` definition. This is useful for grouping sections of large forms.

```js
{
groups: [
{
legend: "User Details",
fields: [
{
type: "input",
inputType: "text",
label: "Name",
model: "name"
},
{
type: "input",
inputType: "number",
id: "current_age",
label: "Age",
model: "age"
}
],
groups: [
{
legend: "Location",
fields: [
{
type: "input",
inputType: "text",
label: "City"
},
{
type: "input",
inputType: "text",
label: "State"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
```

would produce (simplified) HTML output something like this:

```html
<fieldset>
<legend>User Details</legend>

<label>Name</label>
<input type="text">

<label>Age</label>
<input type="number">

<fieldset>
<legend>Location</legend>
<label>City</label>
<input type="text">

<label>State</label>
<input type="text">
</fieldset>
</fieldset>
```

### Bootstrap Vue Example

Using custom tags, subgroups, and the `legendAttr` option, forms can be grouped using custom Vue components. The `legendAttr` option will render the legend text into the attribute you specify. The below example uses bootstrap-vue to render subgroups in tabs:

```js
{
groups: [
{
tag: "b-tabs",
legend: "Additional Info",
groups: [
{
tag: "b-tab",
legend: "Location",
legendAttr: "title",
fields: [
{
type: "input",
inputType: "text",
label: "City"
},
{
type: "input",
inputType: "text",
label: "State"
}
]
},
{
tag: "b-tab",
legend: "Demographics",
legendAttr: "title",
fields: [
{
type: "input",
inputType: "number",
label: "Age",
model: "age"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
```
