NAME

DBIx::BabelKit - Universal Multilingual Code Table Interface

SYNOPSIS

 use DBIx::BabelKit;

 my $bk = new DBIx::BabelKit($dbh,
                table     => 'bk_code',
                getparam  => sub { $cgi->param(shift) },
                getparams => sub { $cgi->param(shift.'[]') }
                );

Get code descriptions safe for HTML display

 $str = $bk->desc(   $code_set, $code_lang, $code_code);
 $str = $bk->ucfirst($code_set, $code_lang, $code_code);
 $str = $bk->ucwords($code_set, $code_lang, $code_code);

Get code descriptions not safe for HTML display

 $str = $bk->render($code_set, $code_lang, $code_code);
 $str = $bk->data(  $code_set, $code_lang, $code_code);
 $str = $bk->param( $code_set, $code_code)

HTML select common options

        var_name      => 'start_day'
        value         => $start_day
        default       => 1
        subset        => [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

HTML select single value methods

 $str = $bk->select($code_set, $code_lang,
        select_prompt => "Code set description?",
        blank_prompt  => "None"
        );

 $str = $bk->radio($code_set, $code_lang,
        blank_prompt  => "None",
        sep           => "<br>\n"
        );

HTML select multiple value methods

 $str = $bk->multiple($code_set, $code_lang,
        size          => 10
        );

 $str = $bk->checkbox($code_set, $code_lang,
        sep           => "<br>\n"
        );

Code sets

 $rows = $bk->lang_set($code_set, $code_lang);
 $rows = $bk->full_set($code_set, $code_lang);

Code table updates

 $bk->slave($code_set, $code_code, $code_desc);

 $bk->remove($code_set, $code_code);

 ( $code_desc, $code_order, $code_flag ) =
   $bk->get($code_set, $code_lang, $code_code);

 $bk->put($code_set, $code_lang, $code_code,
          $code_desc, $code_order, $code_flag);

DESCRIPTION

BabelKit is an interface to a universal multilingual database code table. BabelKit takes all of the programming work out of maintaining multiple database code definition sets in multiple languages.

No multilanguage database project should be without one!
