NAME
HTML::FormHandler::Render::Simple - Simple rendering routine
SYNOPSIS
This is a Moose role that is an example of a very simple rendering routine for HTML::FormHandler. It has almost no features, but can be used as an example for producing something more complex. The idea is to produce your own custom rendering roles...
You are advised to create a copy of this module for use in your forms, since it is not possible to make improvements to this module and maintain backwards compatibility.
In your Form class:
package MyApp::Form::Silly;
use Moose;
extends 'HTML::FormHandler::Model::DBIC';
with 'HTML::FormHandler::Render::Simple';In a template:
[% form.render %]or for individual fields:
[% form.field_render( 'title' ) %]DESCRIPTION
This role provides HTML output routines for the 'widget' types defined in the provided FormHandler fields. Each 'widget' name has a 'widget_$name' method here.
These widget routines output strings with HTML suitable for displaying form fields.
The widget for a particular field can be defined in the form. You can create additional widget routines in your form for custom widgets.
render
To render all the fields in a form in sorted order (using 'sorted_fields' method).
render_start, render_end
Will render the beginning and ending <form> tags and fieldsets. Allows for easy splitting up of the form if you want to hand-render some of the fields.
[% form.render_start %]
[% form.render_field('title') %]
<insert specially rendered field>
[% form.render_field('some_field') %]
[% form.render_end %]render_field
Render a field passing in a field object or a field name
$form->render_field( $field )
$form->render_field( 'title' )render_text

render_hidden

render_select
