NAME

       HTML::FormHandler::Render::Simple - simple rendering role

VERSION

       version 0.40068

SYNOPSIS

       This is a Moose role that is an example of a simple rendering routine for
       HTML::FormHandler. It's here as an example of how to write a custom renderer in one
       package, if you prefer that to using the widgets. It won't always be updated with
       improvements by default, because it was becoming a lot of work to update the rendering in
       multiple places.

       For a 'MyApp::Form::Renderer' which you've created and modified, in your Form class:

          package MyApp::Form::Silly;
          use Moose;
          extends 'HTML::FormHandler::Model::DBIC';
          with 'MyApp::Form::Renderers';

       In a template:

          [% form.render %]

       The widgets are rendered with "$field->render"; rendering routines from a class like this
       use "$form->render_field('field_name')" to render individual fields:

          [% form.render_field( '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.

       The fill-in-form values ('fif') are cleaned with the 'render_filter' method of the base
       field class. You can change the filter to suit your own needs: see
       HTML::FormHandler::Manual::Rendering

   render
       To render all the fields in a form in sorted order (using 'sorted_fields' method).

   render_start, render_end
       These use the methods in HTML::FormHandler::Widget::Form::Simple now. If you want to
       customize them, copy them to your own package.

       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
       Output an HTML string for a text widget

   render_password
       Output an HTML string for a password widget

   render_hidden
       Output an HTML string for a hidden input widget

   render_select
       Output an HTML string for a 'select' widget, single or multiple

   render_checkbox
       Output an HTML string for a 'checkbox' widget

   render_radio_group
       Output an HTML string for a 'radio_group' selection widget.  This widget should be for a
       field that inherits from 'Select', since it requires the existence of an 'options' array.

   render_textarea
       Output an HTML string for a textarea widget

   render_compound
       Renders field with 'compound' widget

   render_submit
       Renders field with 'submit' widget
