I'm just starting with Propel and for more rapid development I'm curious if there is anything like automatic forms. Something like default administration in Django. I want to be able to output a form or to get all information I'll need. Even in the objects I didn't find all information which should be necessary to have everything for the form (name, type, length, related object, etc).
"Plain" Propel doesn't do this, but if you use it with a framework like Symfony, you get what you need. Symfony is a better comparison to the Django stack, Propel is only the ORM-layer (there is another ORM-option for Symfony, Doctrine, but I prefer Propel).
I also used patForms as a form layer in a custom CMS, because it has Propel bindings. But patForms isn't developed any more, so it would need extra work on your side to get it working.
