NAME

       HTML::FormFu::Element::ComboBox - Select / Text hybrid

SYNOPSIS

           ---
           elements:
             - type: ComboBox
               name: answer
               label: 'Select yes or no, or write an alternative:'
               values:
                 - yes
                 - no

DESCRIPTION

       Creates a multi element containing a Select field and a Text field.

       A ComboBox element named "foo" would result in a Select menu named "foo_select" and a Text
       field named "foo_text". The names can instead be overridden by the "name" value in
       "select" and "text".

       If a value is submitted for the Text field, this will be used in preference to any
       submitted value for the Select menu.

       You can access the submitted value by using the ComboBox's name:

           my $value = $form->param_value('foo');

METHODS

   default
       If the value matches one of the Select menu's options, that options will be selected.
       Otherwise, the Text field will use the value as its default.

CAVEATS

       Although this element inherits from HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, its behaviour for the
       methods filter/filters, constraint/constraints, inflator/inflators, validator/validators
       and transformer/transformers is more like that of a field element, meaning all processors
       are added directly to the date element, not to its child elements.

       This element's get_elements and get_all_elements are inherited from
       HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, and so have the same behaviour. However, it overrides the
       "get_fields|HTML::FormFu/get_fields" method, such that it returns both itself and its
       child elements.
