WebDyne::HTML::Tiny

NAME

WebDyne::HTML::Tiny - HTML::Tiny subclass with WebDyne page and form helpers

SYNOPSIS

use WebDyne::HTML::Tiny;

my $html = WebDyne::HTML::Tiny->new();
print $html->start_html({ title => 'Demo' });

DESCRIPTION

WebDyne::HTML::Tiny extends HTML::Tiny with helpers used by the WebDyne compiler and runtime. It adds start_html-style shortcuts, CGI-like form tag helpers, request-aware value persistence, global default meta and header insertion, and a number of convenience methods for common form controls.

The module is used both directly and through WebDyne::HTML::TreeBuilder.

METHODS

Notable methods include:

• new(%options)

  Construct a WebDyne::HTML::Tiny object. The current request may be supplied as r => $request.

• Vars()

  Return cached form parameters from the current request’s CGI wrapper.

• CGI()

  Return the WebDyne::CGI::Simple object associated with the current request.

• shortcut() / shortcut_enable() / shortcut_disable()

  Control support for WebDyne shortcut tags such as start_html, start_form, and related aliases.

• html() / head() / meta() / script() / link()

  Override or extend the corresponding HTML::Tiny output helpers to honor WebDyne defaults and metadata rules.

• popup_menu() / scrolling_list() / textarea() / checkbox() / checkbox_group() / radio_group()

  CGI-style form helpers with value persistence behavior derived from the current request.

NOTES

Global behavior is influenced by constants such as WEBDYNE_DTD, WEBDYNE_META, WEBDYNE_HTML_PARAM, WEBDYNE_START_HTML_PARAM, WEBDYNE_START_HTML_SHORTCUT_HR, and WEBDYNE_HEAD_INSERT.
