Unsure if this shall be a feature request, but I noticed that when
rendering a field label, the template's rendering context additionally
contains the `field`- and the `form`-object. If however, I render the
widget itself, this information is not available inside the widget's
template rendering context. Apart from this inconsistency, being able to
access the `field`- and/or the `form`-object, when rendering a widget is
really useful.
Example:
I would like to use the `form`-attribute inside some `<input …>`-widgets,
so that each field can refer to its corresponding form. See
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#attr-form
for details. The `form`-object itself provides a name, which is used as
the `<form id="…" …>`. Therefore each widget has to know their form's
name. This information currently can not be determined inside the widget's
template.
