NAME

Spreadsheet::HTML::Presets - Preset tables for fun and games.

DESCRIPTION

This is a container for Spreadsheet::HTML preset methods. These methods are not meant to be called from this package. Instead, use the Spreadsheet::HTML interface:

use Spreadsheet::HTML;
my $table = Spreadsheet::HTML->new( data => [[1],[2]] );

# or
use Spreadsheet::HTML qw( layout );
print layout( data => [[1],[2]] );

METHODS

  • layout( %params )

    Layout tables are not recommended, but if you choose to use them you should label them as such. This adds W3C recommended layout attributes to the table tag and features: emit only <td> tags, no padding or pruning of rows, forces no HTML entity encoding in table cells.

  • checkerboard( colors, %params )

    Preset for tables with checkerboard colors.

    checkerboard( colors => [qw(yellow orange)], extra => 'blue' )

    Attempts to form diagonal patterns by adding an extra color if need be. colors default to red and green and extra defaults to white.

  • animate( direction, interval, jquery, %params )

    Moves the contents of each cell in the direction specified. Valid values are up, down, left and right.

    Set the timer with interval (defaults to 200 miliseconds).

    animate( direction => 'right', interval => 300 )

    Can optionally use x and/or y instead of direction to specify which axis(es) to animate.

    Uses Google's jQuery API unless you specify another URI via the jquery param. Javascript will be minified via Javascript::Minifier if it is installed.

  • conway( on, off, fade, interval, jquery, %params )

    Game of life. From an implementation i wrote back in college.

    conway( on => 'red', off => 'gray' )

    Set the timer with interval (defaults to 200 miliseconds).

    conway( interval => 75 )

    If you have Color::Spectrum installed (and optionally Color::Library) then you can turn fade on for more effects:

    # without Color::Library
    conway( on => '#FF0000', off => '#999999', fade => 1 )
    
    # with Color::Library
    conway( on => 'red', off => 'gray', fade => 1 )

    Uses Google's jQuery API unless you specify another URI via the jquery param. Javascript will be minified via Javascript::Minifier if it is installed.

  • calculator( jquery )

    Generates a simple calculator.

    Uses Google's jQuery API unless you specify another URI via the jquery param. Javascript will be minified via Javascript::Minifier if it is installed.

  • checkers( %params )

    Generates a static checkers game board (US).

  • chess( %params )

    Generates a static chess game board.

  • dk( %params )

  • shroom( %params )

CUSTOMIZATION

You can use the methods in this package as an example for constructing your own custom Spreadsheet::HTML generators.

use Spreadsheet::HTML;

sub my_generator {
    my ($self,$data,$params);
    $self = shift if ref($_[0]) =~ /^Spreadsheet::HTML/;
    ($self,$data,$params) = $self 
        ? $self->_args( @_ ) 
        : Spreadsheet::HTML::_args( @_ );

    # pull out custom named parameters from $params
    my $color = $params->{color};

    my @params = (
        # add custom params that client CAN overide here
        @_,
        # add custom params that client can NOT overide here
    );

    $self ? $self->generate( @params ) : Spreadsheet::HTML::generate( @params );
}

It is not pretty, but it keeps the named parameters in line even if stray, bare array references are used by the client:

$table->my_generator( [ 'data here' ], color => 'red' );

A simpler, less flexible form is available if you do not need to pull out client params:

use Spreadsheet::HTML;

sub my_generator {
    my $self = shift if ref($_[0]) =~ /^Spreadsheet::HTML/;

    my @params = (
        # add custom params that client CAN overide here
        @_,
        # add custom params that client can NOT overide here
    );

    $self ? $self->generate( @params ) : Spreadsheet::HTML::generate( @params );
}

Plans are in the works to simplify this "API," possibly even to provide a real plugin interface.
