Plugin Admin Menu Boiler Plate

This is a great question. I have never seen any kind of framework inside WordPress for building forms, and after a bit of searching now to verify this, I don’t think there is one, although I’m sure others will correct me if there is 😉

So, you probably need to hand code forms as you would with a fresh HTML page.

However, there are a bunch of guidelines out there around coding standards and other bits and bobs that might make your life much easier with other issues around building plugins such as boilerplate PHP for integrating with admin hooks, and things you need to know about e.g. naming conventions.

I know this wasn’t your question and you may have seen this, but for reference here’s a couple of useful links that might help you go faster with other plugin/PHP boilerplate code:
