HTML::Widget::Plugin::Input - the most basic input widget

SYNOPSIS

  id    => 'flavor',   # if "name" isn't given, id will be used for name
  size  => 25,
  value => $default_flavor,
});

...or...

$widget_factory->hidden({
  id    => 'flavor',   # if "name" isn't given, id will be used for name
  value => $default_flavor,
});

DESCRIPTION

This plugin provides a basic input widget.

METHODS

provided_widgets

This plugin provides the following widgets: input, hidden

input

This method returns a basic one-line text-entry widget.

In addition to the generic HTML::Widget::Plugin attributes, the following are valid arguments:

value

This is the widget's initial value.

type

This is the type of input widget to be created. You may wish to use a different plugin, instead.

hidden

This method returns a hidden input that is not displayed in the rendered HTML. Its arguments are the same as those to input.

This method may later be factored out into a plugin.

build

my $widget = $class->build($factory, $arg);

This method does the actual construction of the input based on the args collected by the widget-constructing method. It is primarily here for subclasses to exploit.
