=head1 NAME
HTML::FormFu - HTML Form Creation, Rendering and Validation Framework
=head1 VERSION
version 2.07
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Note: These examples make use of L<HTML::FormFu::Model::DBIC>. As of
C<HTML::FormFu> v02.005, the L<HTML::FormFu::Model::DBIC> module is
not bundled with C<HTML::FormFu> and is available in a stand-alone
distribution.
use HTML::FormFu;
my $form = HTML::FormFu->new;
$form->load_config_file('form.yml');
$form->process( $cgi_query );
if ( $form->submitted_and_valid ) {
# do something with $form->params
}
else {
# display the form
$template->param( form => $form );
}
If you're using L<Catalyst>, a more suitable example might be:
package MyApp::Controller::User;
use Moose;
extends 'Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu';
sub user : Chained CaptureArgs(1) {
my ( $self, $c, $id ) = @_;
my $rs = $c->model('Schema')->resultset('User');
$c->stash->{user} = $rs->find( $id );
return;
}
sub edit : Chained('user') Args(0) FormConfig {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
my $form = $c->stash->{form};
my $user = $c->stash->{user};
if ( $form->submitted_and_valid ) {
$form->model->update( $user );
$c->res->redirect( $c->uri_for( "/user/$id" ) );
return;
}
$form->model->default_values( $user )
if ! $form->submitted;
}
Note: Because L</process> is automatically called for you by the Catalyst
controller; if you make any modifications to the form within your action
method, such as adding or changing elements, adding constraints, etc;
you must call L</process> again yourself before using L</submitted_and_valid>,
any of the methods listed under L</"SUBMITTED FORM VALUES AND ERRORS"> or
L</"MODIFYING A SUBMITTED FORM">, or rendering the form.
Here's an example of a config file to create a basic login form (all examples
here are L<YAML>, but you can use any format supported by L<Config::Any>),
you can also create forms directly in your perl code, rather than using an
external config file.
---
action: /login
indicator: submit
auto_fieldset: 1
elements:
- type: Text
name: user
constraints:
- Required
- type: Password
name: pass
constraints:
- Required
- type: Submit
name: submit
constraints:
- SingleValue
=head1 DESCRIPTION
L<HTML::FormFu> is a HTML form framework which aims to be as easy as
possible to use for basic web forms, but with the power and flexibility to
do anything else you might want to do (as long as it involves forms).
You can configure almost any part of formfu's behaviour and output. By
default formfu renders "XHTML 1.0 Strict" compliant markup, with as little
extra markup as possible, but with sufficient CSS class names to allow for a
wide-range of output styles to be generated by changing only the CSS.
All methods listed below (except L</new>) can either be called as a normal
method on your C<$form> object, or as an option in your config file. Examples
will mainly be shown in L<YAML> config syntax.
This documentation follows the convention that method arguments surrounded
by square brackets C<[]> are I<optional>, and all other arguments are
required.
=head1 BUILDING A FORM
=head2 new
Arguments: [\%options]
Return Value: $form
Create a new L<HTML::FormFu|HTML::FormFu> object.
Any method which can be called on the L<HTML::FormFu|HTML::FormFu> object may
instead be passed as an argument to L</new>.
my $form = HTML::FormFu->new({
action => '/search',
method => 'GET',
auto_fieldset => 1,
});
=head2 load_config_file
Arguments: $filename
Arguments: \@filenames
Return Value: $form
Accepts a filename or list of file names, whose filetypes should be of any
format recognized by L<Config::Any>.
The content of each config file is passed to L</populate>, and so are added
to the form.
L</load_config_file> may be called in a config file itself, so as to allow
common settings to be kept in a single config file which may be loaded
by any form.
---
load_config_file:
- file1
- file2
YAML multiple documents within a single file. The document start marker is
a line containing 3 dashes. Multiple documents will be applied in order,
just as if multiple filenames had been given.
In the following example, multiple documents are taken advantage of to
load another config file after the elements are added. (If this were
a single document, the C<load_config_file> would be called before
C<elements>, regardless of its position in the file).
---
elements:
- name: one
- name: two
---
load_config_file: ext.yml
Relative paths are resolved from the L</config_file_path> directory if
it is set, otherwise from the current working directory.
See L</BEST PRACTICES> for advice on organising config files.
=head2 config_callback
Arguments: \%options
If defined, the arguments are used to create a L<Data::Visitor::Callback>
object during L</load_config_file> which may be used to pre-process the
config before it is sent to L</populate>.
For example, the code below adds a callback to a form that will dynamically
alter any config value ending in ".yml" to end in ".yaml" when you call
L</load_config_file>:
$form->config_callback({
plain_value => sub {
my( $visitor, $data ) = @_;
s/\.yml/.yaml/;
}
});
Default Value: not defined
This method is a special 'inherited accessor', which means it can be set on
the form, a block element or a single element. When the value is read, if
no value is defined it automatically traverses the element's hierarchy of
parents, through any block elements and up to the form, searching for a
defined value.
=head2 populate
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $form
Each option key/value passed may be any L<HTML::FormFu|HTML::FormFu>
method-name and arguments.
Provides a simple way to set multiple values, or add multiple elements to
a form with a single method-call.
Attempts to call the method-names in a semi-intelligent order (see
the source of populate() in C<HTML::FormFu::ObjectUtil> for details).
=head2 default_values
Arguments: \%defaults
Return Value: $form
Set multiple field's default values from a single hash-ref.
The hash-ref's keys correspond to a form field's name, and the value is
passed to the field's L<default method|HTML::FormFu::_Field/default>.
This should be called after all fields have been added to the form, and
before L</process> is called (otherwise, call L</process> again before
rendering the form).
=head2 config_file_path
Arguments: $directory_name
L</config_file_path> defines where configuration files will be
searched for, if an absolute path is not given to
L</load_config_file>.
Default Value: not defined
This method is a special 'inherited accessor', which means it can be set on
the form, a block element or a single element. When the value is read, if
no value is defined it automatically traverses the element's hierarchy of
parents, through any block elements and up to the form, searching for a
defined value.
Is an L<inheriting accessor|/INHERITING ACCESSORS>.
=head2 indicator
Arguments: $field_name
Arguments: \&coderef
If L</indicator> is set to a fieldname, L</submitted> will return true if
a value for that fieldname was submitted.
If L</indicator> is set to a code-ref, it will be called as a subroutine
with the two arguments C<$form> and C<$query>, and its return value will be
used as the return value for L</submitted>.
If L</indicator> is not set, L</submitted> will return true if a value for
any known fieldname was submitted.
=head2 auto_fieldset
Arguments: 1
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $fieldset
This setting is suitable for most basic forms, and means you can generally
ignore adding fieldsets yourself.
Calling C<< $form->auto_fieldset(1) >> immediately adds a fieldset element to
the form. Thereafter, C<< $form->elements() >> will add all elements (except
fieldsets) to that fieldset, rather than directly to the form.
To be specific, the elements are added to the I<last> fieldset on the form,
so if you add another fieldset, any further elements will be added to that
fieldset.
Also, you may pass a hashref to auto_fieldset(), and this will be used
to set defaults for the first fieldset created.
A few examples and their output, to demonstrate:
2 elements with no fieldset.
---
elements:
- type: Text
name: foo
- type: Text
name: bar
<form action="" method="post">
<div class="text">
<input name="foo" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="text">
<input name="bar" type="text" />
</div>
</form>
2 elements with an L</auto_fieldset>.
---
auto_fieldset: 1
elements:
- type: Text
name: foo
- type: Text
name: bar
<form action="" method="post">
<fieldset>
<div class="text">
<input name="foo" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="text">
<input name="bar" type="text" />
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
The 3rd element is within a new fieldset
---
auto_fieldset: { id: fs }
elements:
- type: Text
name: foo
- type: Text
name: bar
- type: Fieldset
- type: Text
name: baz
<form action="" method="post">
<fieldset id="fs">
<div class="text">
<input name="foo" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="text">
<input name="bar" type="text" />
</div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<div class="text">
<input name="baz" type="text" />
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
Because of this behaviour, if you want nested fieldsets you will have to add
each nested fieldset directly to its intended parent.
my $parent = $form->get_element({ type => 'Fieldset' });
$parent->element('fieldset');
=head2 form_error_message
Arguments: $string
Normally, input errors cause an error message to be displayed alongside the
appropriate form field. If you'd also like a general error message to be
displayed at the top of the form, you can set the message with
L</form_error_message>.
To set the CSS class for the message, see L</form_error_message_class>.
To change the markup used to display the message, edit the
C<form_error_message> template file. See L</render_method>.
Is an L<output accessor|HTML::FormFu/OUTPUT ACCESSORS>.
=head2 force_error_message
If true, forces the L</form_error_message> to be displayed even if there are
no field errors.
=head2 default_args
Arguments: \%defaults
Set defaults which will be added to every element, constraint, etc. of the
given type which is subsequently added to the form.
For example, to make every C<Text> element automatically have a size of
C<10>, and make every C<Strftime> deflator automatically get its strftime
set to C<%d/%m/%Y>:
default_args:
elements:
Text:
size: 10
deflators:
Strftime:
strftime: '%d/%m/%Y'
An example to make all DateTime elements automatically get an appropriate
Strftime deflator and a DateTime inflator:
default_args:
elements:
DateTime:
deflators:
type: Strftime
strftime: '%d-%m-%Y'
inflators:
type: DateTime
parser:
strptime: '%d-%m-%Y'
=head3 Pseudo types
As a special case, you can also use the C<elements> keys C<Block>, C<Field>
and C<Input> to match any element which inherits from
L<HTML::FormFu::Element::Block> or which C<does>
L<HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Field> or
L<HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Input>.
=head3 Alternatives
Each C<elements> key can contain an C<any> list using the C<|> divider: e.g.
# apply the given class to any Element of type Password or Button
default_args:
elements:
'Password|Button':
attrs:
class: novalidate
=head3 Match ancestor
Each C<elements> key list can contain a type starting with C<+> to only
match elements with an ancestor of the given type: e.g.
# only apple the given class to an Input field within a Multi block
default_args:
elements:
'Input|+Multi':
attrs:
class: novalidate
=head3 Don't match ancestor
Each C<elements> key list can contain a type starting with C<-> to only
match elements who do not have an ancestor of the given type: e.g.
# apply the given class only to Input fields that are not in a Multi block
default_args:
elements:
'Input|-Multi':
attrs:
clasS: validate
=head3 Order
The arguments are applied in least- to most-specific order:
C<Block>, C<Field>, C<Input>, C<$type>. Within each of these, arguments are
applied in order of shortest-first to longest-last.
The C<type> key must match the value returned by C<type>, e.g.
L<HTML::FormFu::Element/type>. If, for example, you have a custom element
outside of the C<HTML::FormFu::Element::*> namespace, which you load via
C<< $form->element({ type => '+My::Custom::Element' }) >>, the key given to
L</default_args> should B<not> include the leading C<+>, as that is
stripped-out of the returned C<type()> value. Example:
# don't include the leading '+' here
default_args:
elements:
'My::Custom::Element':
attrs:
class: whatever
# do include the leading '+' here
elements:
- type: +My::Custom::Element
=head3 Clashes
L</default_args> generates a single hashref to pass to L</populate>, merging
arguments for each type in turn - meaning L</populate> is only called once
in total - not once for each type.
Because scalar values are B<not> merged - this means later values will
override earlier values: e.g.
# Normally, calling $field->add_attrs({ class => 'input' })
# then calling $field->add_attrs({ class => 'not-in-multi' })
# would result in both values being retained:
# class="input not-in-multi"
#
# However, default_args() creates a single data-structure to pass once
# to populate(), so any scalar values will overwrite earlier ones
# before they reach populate().
#
# The below example would result in the longest-matching key
# overwriting any others:
# class="not-in-multi"
#
default_args:
elements:
Input:
add_attrs:
class: input
'Input:-Multi':
add_attrs:
class: not-in-multi
=head3 Strictness
Note: Unlike the proper methods which have aliases, for example L</elements>
which is an alias for L</element> - the keys given to C<default_args> must
be of the plural form, e.g.:
default_args:
elements: {}
deflators: {}
filters: {}
constraints: {}
inflators: {}
validators: {}
transformers: {}
output_processors: {}
=head2 javascript
If set, the contents will be rendered within a C<script> tag, inside the top
of the form.
=head2 javascript_src
Arguments: $url
Arguments: \@urls
Adds a C<script> tag for each URL, immediately before any L</javascript>
section.
=head2 stash
Arguments: [\%private_stash]
Return Value: \%stash
Provides a hash-ref in which you can store any data you might want to
associate with the form.
---
stash:
foo: value
bar: value
=head2 elements
=head2 element
Arguments: $type
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $element
Arguments: \@arrayref_of_types_or_options
Return Value: @elements
Adds a new element to the form. See
L<HTML::FormFu::Element/"CORE FORM FIELDS"> and
L<HTML::FormFu::Element/"OTHER CORE ELEMENTS">
for a list of core elements.
If you want to load an element from a namespace other than
C<HTML::FormFu::Element::>, you can use a fully qualified package-name by
prefixing it with C<+>.
---
elements:
- type: +MyApp::CustomElement
name: foo
If a C<type> is not provided in the C<\%options>, the default C<Text> will
be used.
L</element> is an alias for L</elements>.
=head2 deflators
=head2 deflator
Arguments: $type
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $deflator
Arguments: \@arrayref_of_types_or_options
Return Value: @deflators
A L<deflator|HTML::FormFu::Deflator> may be associated with any form field,
and allows you to provide
L<< $field->default|HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Field/default >> with a value
which may be an object.
If an object doesn't stringify to a suitable value for display, the
L<deflator|HTML::FormFu::Deflator> can ensure that the form field
receives a suitable string value instead.
See L<HTML::FormFu::Deflator/"CORE DEFLATORS"> for a list of core deflators.
If a C<name> attribute isn't provided, a new deflator is created for and
added to every field on the form.
If you want to load a deflator in a namespace other than
C<HTML::FormFu::Deflator::>, you can use a fully qualified package-name by
prefixing it with C<+>.
L</deflator> is an alias for L</deflators>.
=head2 insert_before
Arguments: $new_element, $existing_element
Return Value: $new_element
The 1st argument must be the element you want added, the 2nd argument
must be the existing element that the new element should be placed before.
my $new = $form->element(\%specs);
my $position = $form->get_element({ type => $type, name => $name });
$form->insert_before( $new, $position );
In the first line of the above example, the C<$new> element is initially
added to the end of the form. However, the C<insert_before> method
reparents the C<$new> element, so it will no longer be on the end of the
form. Because of this, if you try to copy an element from one form to
another, it will 'steal' the element, instead of copying it. In this case,
you must use C<clone>:
my $new = $form1->get_element({ type => $type1, name => $name1 })
->clone;
my $position = $form2->get_element({ type => $type2, name => $name2 });
$form2->insert_before( $new, $position );
=head2 insert_after
Arguments: $new_element, $existing_element
Return Value: $new_element
The 1st argument must be the element you want added, the 2nd argument
must be the existing element that the new element should be placed after.
my $new = $form->element(\%specs);
my $position = $form->get_element({ type => $type, name => $name });
$form->insert_after( $new, $position );
In the first line of the above example, the C<$new> element is initially
added to the end of the form. However, the C<insert_after> method
reparents the C<$new> element, so it will no longer be on the end of the
form. Because of this, if you try to copy an element from one form to
another, it will 'steal' the element, instead of copying it. In this case,
you must use C<clone>:
my $new = $form1->get_element({ type => $type1, name => $name1 })
->clone;
my $position = $form2->get_element({ type => $type2, name => $name2 });
$form2->insert_after( $new, $position );
=head2 remove_element
Arguments: $element
Return Value: $element
Removes the C<$element> from the form or block's array of children.
$form->remove_element( $element );
The orphaned element cannot be usefully used for anything until it is
re-attached to a form or block with L</insert_before> or L</insert_after>.
=head1 FORM LOGIC AND VALIDATION
L<HTML::FormFu|HTML::FormFu> provides several stages for what is
traditionally described as I<validation>. These are:
=over
=item L<HTML::FormFu::Filter|HTML::FormFu::Filter>
=item L<HTML::FormFu::Constraint|HTML::FormFu::Constraint>
=item L<HTML::FormFu::Inflator|HTML::FormFu::Inflator>
=item L<HTML::FormFu::Validator|HTML::FormFu::Validator>
=item L<HTML::FormFu::Transformer|HTML::FormFu::Transformer>
=back
The first stage, the filters, allow for cleanup of user-input, such as
encoding, or removing leading/trailing whitespace, or removing non-digit
characters from a creditcard number.
All of the following stages allow for more complex processing, and each of
them have a mechanism to allow exceptions to be thrown, to represent input
errors. In each stage, all form fields must be processed without error for
the next stage to proceed. If there were any errors, the form should be
re-displayed to the user, to allow them to input correct values.
Constraints are intended for low-level validation of values, such as
"is this an integer?", "is this value within bounds?" or
"is this a valid email address?".
Inflators are intended to allow a value to be turned into an appropriate
object. The resulting object will be passed to subsequent Validators and
Transformers, and will also be returned by L</params> and L</param>.
Validators are intended for higher-level validation, such as
business-logic and database constraints such as "is this username unique?".
Validators are only run if all Constraints and Inflators have run
without errors. It is expected that most Validators will be
application-specific, and so each will be implemented as a separate class
written by the HTML::FormFu user.
=head2 filters
=head2 filter
Arguments: $type
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $filter
Arguments: \@arrayref_of_types_or_options
Return Value: @filters
If you provide a C<name> or C<names> value, the filter will be added to
just that named field.
If you do not provide a C<name> or C<names> value, the filter will be added
to all L<fields|HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Field> already attached to the form.
See L<HTML::FormFu::Filter/"CORE FILTERS"> for a list of core filters.
If you want to load a filter in a namespace other than
C<HTML::FormFu::Filter::>, you can use a fully qualified package-name by
prefixing it with C<+>.
L</filter> is an alias for L</filters>.
=head2 constraints
=head2 constraint
Arguments: $type
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $constraint
Arguments: \@arrayref_of_types_or_options
Return Value: @constraints
See L<HTML::FormFu::Constraint/"CORE CONSTRAINTS"> for a list of core
constraints.
If a C<name> attribute isn't provided, a new constraint is created for and
added to every field on the form.
If you want to load a constraint in a namespace other than
C<HTML::FormFu::Constraint::>, you can use a fully qualified package-name by
prefixing it with C<+>.
L</constraint> is an alias for L</constraints>.
=head2 inflators
=head2 inflator
Arguments: $type
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $inflator
Arguments: \@arrayref_of_types_or_options
Return Value: @inflators
See L<HTML::FormFu::Inflator/"CORE INFLATORS"> for a list of core inflators.
If a C<name> attribute isn't provided, a new inflator is created for and
added to every field on the form.
If you want to load an inflator in a namespace other than
C<HTML::FormFu::Inflator::>, you can use a fully qualified package-name by
prefixing it with C<+>.
L</inflator> is an alias for L</inflators>.
=head2 validators
=head2 validator
Arguments: $type
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $validator
Arguments: \@arrayref_of_types_or_options
Return Value: @validators
See L<HTML::FormFu::Validator/"CORE VALIDATORS"> for a list of core
validators.
If a C<name> attribute isn't provided, a new validator is created for and
added to every field on the form.
If you want to load a validator in a namespace other than
C<HTML::FormFu::Validator::>, you can use a fully qualified package-name by
prefixing it with C<+>.
L</validator> is an alias for L</validators>.
=head2 transformers
=head2 transformer
Arguments: $type
Arguments: \%options
Return Value: $transformer
Arguments: \@arrayref_of_types_or_options
Return Value: @transformers
See L<HTML::FormFu::Transformer/"CORE TRANSFORMERS"> for a list of core
transformers.
If a C<name> attribute isn't provided, a new transformer is created for and
added to every field on the form.
If you want to load a transformer in a namespace other than
C<HTML::FormFu::Transformer::>, you can use a fully qualified package-name by
prefixing it with C<+>.
L</transformer> is an alias for L</transformers>.
=head1 CHANGING DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR
=head2 render_processed_value
The default behaviour when re-displaying a form after a submission, is that
the field contains the original unchanged user-submitted value.
If L</render_processed_value> is true, the field value will be the final
result after all Filters, Inflators and Transformers have been run.
Deflators will also be run on the value.
If you set this on a field with an Inflator, but without an equivalent
Deflator, you should ensure that the Inflators stringify back to a usable
value, so as not to confuse / annoy the user.
Default Value: false
This method is a special 'inherited accessor', which means it can be set on
the form, a block element or a single element. When the value is read, if
no value is defined it automatically traverses the element's hierarchy of
parents, through any block elements and up to the form, searching for a
defined value.
Is an L<inheriting accessor|/INHERITING ACCESSORS>.
=head2 force_errors
Force a constraint to fail, regardless of user input.
If this is called at runtime, after the form has already been processed,
you must called L<HTML::FormFu/process> again before redisplaying the
form to the user.
Default Value: false
This method is a special 'inherited accessor', which means it can be set on
the form, a block element, an element or a single constraint. When the value
is read, if no value is defined it automatically traverses the element's
hierarchy of parents, through any block elements and up to the form,
searching for a defined value.
Is an L<inheriting accessor|/INHERITING ACCESSORS>.
=head2 params_ignore_underscore
If true, causes L</params>, L</param> and L</valid> to ignore any fields
whose name starts with an underscore C<_>.
The field is still processed as normal, and errors will cause
L</submitted_and_valid> to return false.
Default Value: false
=head1 FORM ATTRIBUTES
All attributes are added to the rendered form's start tag.
=head2 attributes
# Example
---
attributes:
id: form
class: fancy_form
Is an L<attribute accessor|HTML::FormFu/ATTRIBUTE ACCESSOR>.
=head2 id
Is an L<attribute short-cut|HTML::FormFu/ATTRIBUTE SHORT-CUTS>.
=head2 action
Default Value: ""
Get or set the action associated with the form. The default is no action,
which causes most browsers to submit to the current URI.
Is an L<attribute short-cut|HTML::FormFu/ATTRIBUTE SHORT-CUTS>.
=head2 enctype
Get or set the encoding type of the form. Valid values are
C<application/x-www-form-urlencoded> and C<multipart/form-data>.
If the form contains a File element, the enctype is automatically set to
C<multipart/form-data>.
Is an L<attribute short-cut|HTML::FormFu/ATTRIBUTE SHORT-CUTS>.
=head2 method
Default Value: "post"
Get or set the method used to submit the form. Can be set to either "post"
or "get".
Is an L<attribute short-cut|HTML::FormFu/ATTRIBUTE SHORT-CUTS>.

=head2 form_error_message_class
Class attribute for the error message displayed at the top of the form.
See L</"form_error_message">
=head1 LOCALIZATION
=head2 languages
Arguments: [\@languages]
A list of languages which will be passed to the localization object.
Default Value: ['en']
=head2 localize_class
Arguments: [$class_name]
Classname to be used for the default localization object.
Default Value: 'HTML::FormFu::I18N'
=head2 localize
=head2 loc
Arguments: [$key, @arguments]
Compatible with the C<maketext> method in L<Locale::Maketext>.
=head2 locale
Arguments: $locale
Currently only used by L<HTML::FormFu::Deflator::FormatNumber> and
L<HTML::FormFu::Filter::FormatNumber>.
This method is a special 'inherited accessor', which means it can be set on
the form, a block element or a single element. When the value is read, if
no value is defined it automatically traverses the element's hierarchy of
parents, through any block elements and up to the form, searching for a
defined value.
Is an L<inheriting accessor|/INHERITING ACCESSORS>.
=head1 PROCESSING A FORM
=head2 query
Arguments: [$query_object]
Arguments: \%params
Provide a L<CGI> compatible query object or a hash-ref of submitted
names/values. Alternatively, the query object can be passed directly to the
L</process> object.
=head2 query_type
Arguments: [$query_type]
Set which module is being used to provide the L</query>.
The L<Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu> automatically sets this to
C<Catalyst>.
Valid values are C<CGI>, C<Catalyst> and C<CGI::Simple>.
Default Value: 'CGI'
=head2 process
Arguments: [$query_object]
Arguments: [\%params]
Process the provided query object or input values. C<process> must be called
before calling any of the methods listed under
L</"SUBMITTED FORM VALUES AND ERRORS"> and L</"MODIFYING A SUBMITTED FORM">.
C<process> must also be called at least once before printing the form or
calling L</render> or L</render_data>.
Note to users of L<Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu>: Because L</process>
is automatically called for you by the Catalyst controller; if you make any
modifications to the form within your action method, such as adding or changing
elements, adding constraints, etc; you must call L</process> again yourself
before using L</submitted_and_valid>, any of the methods listed under
L</"SUBMITTED FORM VALUES AND ERRORS"> or
L</"MODIFYING A SUBMITTED FORM">, or rendering the form.
=head1 SUBMITTED FORM VALUES AND ERRORS
=head2 submitted
Returns true if the form has been submitted. See L</indicator> for details
on how this is computed.
=head2 submitted_and_valid
Shorthand for C<< $form->submitted && !$form->has_errors >>
=head2 params
Return Value: \%params
Returns a hash-ref of all valid input for which there were no errors.
=head2 param_value
Arguments: $field_name
A more reliable, recommended version of L</param>. Guaranteed to always return a
single value, regardless of whether it's called in list context or not. If
multiple values were submitted, this only returns the first value. If the value
is invalid or the form was not submitted, it returns C<undef>. This makes it
suitable for use in list context, where a single value is required.
$db->update({
name => $form->param_value('name'),
address => $form->param_value('address),
});
=head2 param_array
Arguments: $field_name
Guaranteed to always return an array-ref of values, regardless of context and
regardless of whether multiple values were submitted or not. If the value is
invalid or the form was not submitted, it returns an empty array-ref.
=head2 param_list
Arguments: $field_name
Guaranteed to always return a list of values, regardless of context. If the value is
invalid or the form was not submitted, it returns an empty list.
=head2 param
Arguments: [$field_name]
Return Value: $input_value
Return Value: @valid_names
No longer recommended for use, as its behaviour is hard to predict. Use
L</param_value>, L</param_array> or L</param_list> instead.
A (readonly) method similar to that of L<CGI's|CGI>.
If a field name is given, in list-context returns any valid values submitted
for that field, and in scalar-context returns only the first of any valid
values submitted for that field.
If no argument is given, returns a list of all valid input field names
without errors.
Passing more than 1 argument is a fatal error.
=head2 valid
Arguments: [$field_name]
Return Value: @valid_names
Return Value: $bool
If a field name if given, returns C<true> if that field had no errors and
C<false> if there were errors.
If no argument is given, returns a list of all valid input field names
without errors.
=head2 has_errors
Arguments: [$field_name]
Return Value: @names
Return Value: $bool
If a field name if given, returns C<true> if that field had errors and
C<false> if there were no errors.
If no argument is given, returns a list of all input field names with errors.
=head2 get_errors
Arguments: [%options]
Arguments: [\%options]
Return Value: \@errors
Returns an array-ref of exception objects from all fields in the form.
Accepts both C<name>, C<type> and C<stage> arguments to narrow the returned
results.
$form->get_errors({
name => 'foo',
type => 'Regex',
stage => 'constraint'
});
=head2 get_error
Arguments: [%options]
Arguments: [\%options]
Return Value: $error
Accepts the same arguments as L</get_errors>, but only returns the first
error found.

=head2 default_model
Arguments: $model_name
Default Value: 'DBIC'
=head2 model
Arguments: [$model_name]
Return Value: $model
=head2 model_config
Arguments: \%config
=head1 MODIFYING A SUBMITTED FORM
=head2 add_valid
Arguments: $name, $value
Return Value: $value
The provided value replaces any current value for the named field. This
value will be returned in subsequent calls to L</params> and L</param> and
the named field will be included in calculations for L</valid>.
=head2 clear_errors
Deletes all errors from a submitted form.
=head1 RENDERING A FORM
=head2 render
Return Value: $string
You must call L</process> once after building the form, and before calling
L</render>.
=head2 start
Return Value: $string
Returns the form start tag, and any output of L</form_error_message> and
L</javascript>.
=head2 end
Return Value: $string
Returns the form end tag.
=head2 hidden_fields
Return Value: $string
Returns all hidden form fields.
=head1 PLUGIN SYSTEM
C<HTML::FormFu> provides a plugin-system that allows plugins to be easily
added to a form or element, to change the default behaviour or output.
See L<HTML::FormFu::Plugin> for details.
=head1 ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION
By default, formfu renders "XHTML 1.0 Strict" compliant markup, with as
little extra markup as possible. Many hooks are provided to add
programatically-generated CSS class names, to allow for a wide-range of
output styles to be generated by changing only the CSS.
Basic customisation of the markup is possible via the
L<layout|HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Field/layout> and
L<multi_layout|HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Field/multi_layout> methods.
This allows you to reorder the position of various parts of each field -
such as the label, comment, error messages and the input tag - as well
as inserting any other arbitrary tags you may wish.
If this is not sufficient, you can make completely personalise the markup
by telling HTML::FormFu to use an external rendering engine, such as
L<Template Toolkit|Template> or L<Template::Alloy>.
See L</render_method> and L</tt_module> for details.
Even if you set HTML::FormFu to use L<Template::Toolkit|Template> to render,
the forms, HTML::FormFu can still be used in conjunction with whichever other
templating system you prefer to use for your own page layouts, whether it's
L<HTML::Template>: C<< <TMPL_VAR form> >>,
L<Petal>: C<< <form tal:replace="form"></form> >>
or L<Template::Magic>: C<< <!-- {form} --> >>.
As of C<HTML::FormFu v1.00>, L<TT|Template> is no longer listed a required
prerequisite - so you'll need to install it manually if you with to use the
template files.
=head2 render_method
Default Value: C<string>
Can be set to C<tt> to generate the form with external template files.
To customise the markup, you'll need a copy of the template files, local to
your application. See
L<HTML::FormFu::Manual::Cookbook/"Installing the TT templates"> for further
details.
You can customise the markup for a single element by setting that element's
L</render_method> to C<tt>, while the rest of the form uses the default
C<string> render-method. Note though, that if you try setting the form or a
Block's L</render_method> to C<tt>, and then set a child element's
L</render_method> to C<string>, that setting will be ignored, and the child
elements will still use the C<tt> render-method.
---
elements:
- name: foo
render_method: tt
filename: custom_field
- name: bar
# in this example, 'foo' will use a custom template,
# while bar will use the default 'string' rendering method
This method is a special 'inherited accessor', which means it can be set on
the form, a block element or a single element. When the value is read, if
no value is defined it automatically traverses the element's hierarchy of
parents, through any block elements and up to the form, searching for a
defined value.
Is an L<inheriting accessor|/INHERITING ACCESSORS>.
=head2 filename
Change the template filename used for the form.
Default Value: "form"
=head2 tt_args
Arguments: [\%constructor_arguments]
Accepts a hash-ref of arguments passed to L</render_method>, which is called
internally by L</render>.
Within tt_args, the keys C<RELATIVE> and C<RECURSION> are overridden to always
be true, as these are a basic requirement for the L<Template> engine.
The system directory containing HTML::FormFu's template files is always
added to the end of C<INCLUDE_PATH>, so that the core template files will be
found. You only need to set this yourself if you have your own copy of the
template files for customisation purposes.
This method is a special 'inherited accessor', which means it can be set on
the form, a block element or a single element. When the value is read, if
no value is defined it automatically traverses the element's hierarchy of
parents, through any block elements and up to the form, searching for a
defined value.
=head2 add_tt_args
Arguments: [\%constructor_arguments]
Ensures that the hash-ref argument is merged with any existing hash-ref
value of L</tt_args>.
=head2 tt_module
Default Value: Template
The module used when L</render_method> is set to C<tt>. Should provide an
interface compatible with L<Template>.
This method is a special 'inherited accessor', which means it can be set on
the form, a block element or a single element. When the value is read, if
no value is defined it automatically traverses the element's hierarchy of
parents, through any block elements and up to the form, searching for a
defined value.
=head2 render_data
Usually called implicitly by L</render>. Returns the data structure that
would normally be passed onto the C<string> or C<tt> render-methods.
As with L</render>, you must call L</process> once after building the form,
and before calling L</render_data>.
=head2 render_data_non_recursive
Like L</render_data>, but doesn't include the data for any child-elements.
=head1 INTROSPECTION

first transformer found.
=head2 clone
Returns a deep clone of the <$form> object.
Because of scoping issues, code references (such as in Callback constraints)
are copied instead of cloned.
=head1 ATTRIBUTE ACCESSORS
For the basic method, e.g. C</attributes>:
Arguments: [%attributes]
Arguments: [\%attributes]
Return Value: $form
As a special case, if no arguments are passed, the attributes hash-ref is
returned. This allows the following idioms.
# set a value
$form->attributes->{id} = 'form';
# delete all attributes
%{ $form->attributes } = ();
All methods documented as 'attribute accessors' also have the following
variants generated:
C<*_xml> can be used as a setter, and ensures that its argument is not
XML-escaped in the rendered form.
C<*_loc> can he used as a setter, and passes the arguments through
L</localize>.
C<add_*> can be used to append a word to an attribute without overwriting
any already-existing value.
# Example
$form->attributes({ class => 'fancy' });
$form->add_attributes({ class => 'pants' });
# class="fancy pants"
C<add_*_xml>, like C<add_*>, but ensures it doesn't get XML-escaped.
C<add_*_loc>, like C<add_*>, but passing the arguments through L</localize>.
C<del_*> can be used to remove a word from an attribute value.
# Example
$form->attributes({ class => 'fancy pants' });
$form->del_attributes({ class => 'pants' });
# class="fancy"
C<del_*_xml>, like C<del_*>, but ensures it doesn't get XML-escaped.
C<del_*_loc>, like C<del_*>, but passing the arguments through L</localize>.
Also, any attribute method-name which contains the word C<attributes> also
has aliases created for all these variants, with the word C<attributes>
replaced by C<attrs>.
# For example, the attributes() method would have all these variant
# methods available
$form->attributes({ class => 'fancy' });
$form->attributes_xml({ title => '<b>fancy</b>' });
$form->attributes_loc({ title => 'fancy' });
$form->add_attributes({ class => 'fancy' });
$form->add_attributes_xml({ title => '<b>fancy</b>' });
$form->add_attributes_loc({ title => 'fancy' });
$form->del_attributes({ class => 'fancy' });
$form->del_attributes_xml({ title => '<b>fancy</b>' });
$form->del_attributes_loc({ title => 'fancy' });
# Because the method contains the word 'attributes', it also gets the
# following short-forms
$form->attrs({ class => 'fancy' });
$form->attrs_xml({ title => '<b>fancy</b>' });
$form->attrs_loc({ title => 'fancy' });
$form->add_attrs({ class => 'fancy' });
$form->add_attrs_xml({ title => '<b>fancy</b>' });
$form->add_attrs_loc({ title => 'fancy' });
$form->del_attrs({ class => 'fancy' });
$form->del_attrs_xml({ title => '<b>fancy</b>' });
$form->del_attrs_loc({ title => 'fancy' });
=head1 ATTRIBUTE SHORT-CUTS
All methods documented as 'attribute short-cuts' are short-cuts to directly
access individual attribute key/values.
# Example
$form->id( 'login' );
$id = $form->id;
# is equivalent to:
$form->attributes({ id => 'login' });
$id = $form->attributes->{id};
All attribute short-cuts also have a C<*_xml> variant.
# Example
$form->id_xml( $xml );
# is equivalent to:
$form->attributes_xml({ id => $xml });
All attribute short-cuts also have a C<*_loc> variant.
# Example
$form->title_loc( $key );
# is equivalent to:
$form->attributes_loc({ title => $key });
=head1 INHERITING ACCESSORS
All methods documented as 'inheriting accessors' can be set on the form,
a block element or a single field element.
When the value is read, if no value is defined it automatically traverses
the element's hierarchy of parents, searching for a defined value.
All inherited accessors also have a C<*_no_inherit> variant, which can be
used as a getter to fetch any defined value, without traversing the
hierarchy of parents. This variant cannot be used as a setter.
E.g., the L</auto_id> has a variant named C<auto_id_no_inherit>.
=head1 OUTPUT ACCESSORS
All methods documented as 'output accessors' also have C<*_xml> and C<*_loc>
variants.
The C<*_xml> variant can be used as a setter, and ensures that its
argument is not XML-escaped in the rendered form.
The C<*_loc> variant can be used as a setter, and passes the arguments
through L</localize>.
E.g., the L<label|HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Field/label> method has
variants named C<label_xml> and C<label_loc>.
=head1 BOOLEAN ATTRIBUTE ACCESSORS
To support boolean attributes, whose value should either be equal to the
attribute name, or empty. Any true value will switch the attribute 'on', any
false value will remove the attribute.
# Example
$field->autofocus(1);
# equivalent to:
$field->attributes({ autofocus => 'autofocus' });
$field->autofocus(0);;
# equivalent to:
delete $field->attributes->{autofocus};
=head1 ATTRIBUTE SUBSTITUTIONS
Some attributes support character substitutions: the following substitutions
are possible:
%f # $form->id
%n # $field->name
%t # lc( $field->type )
%r # $block->repeatable_count
%s # $error->stage
These allow each field to have consistent attributes, while remaining unique.
=head1 DEPRECATION POLICY
We try our best to not make incompatible changes, but if they're required
we'll make every effort possible to provide backwards compatibility for
several release-cycles, issuing a warnings about the changes, before removing
the legacy features.
=head1 RESTORING LEGACY HTML CLASSES
C<v1.00> dropped most of the default HTML class-names, with the intention
that each application should define just what it needs, without needing to
reset unwanted options first. We also gain the benefit of less markup being
generated, speeding up both L<render|/render> and HTTP transfers.
To restore the previous behaviour, set the following options.
If you're using L<best practices|/"BEST PRACTICES">, you'll only need to set
these once per-application in your app-wide config file.
---
auto_container_class: '%t'
auto_container_label_class: 'label'
auto_container_comment_class: 'comment'
auto_comment_class: 'comment'
auto_container_error_class: 'error'
auto_container_per_error_class: 'error_%s_%t'
auto_error_class: 'error_message error_%s_%t'

=head1 EXAMPLES
=head2 vertically-aligned CSS
The distribution directory C<examples/vertically-aligned> contains a form with
example CSS for a "vertically aligned" theme.
This can be viewed by opening the file C<vertically-aligned.html> in a
web-browser.
If you wish to experiment with making changes, the form is defined in file
C<vertically-aligned.yml>, and the HTML file can be updated with any changes
by running the following command (while in the distribution root directory).
perl examples/vertically-aligned/vertically-aligned.pl
This uses the L<Template Toolkit|Template> file C<vertically-aligned.tt>,
and the CSS is defined in files C<vertically-aligned.css> and
C<vertically-aligned-ie.css>.
