NAME

       HTML::FormHandler::Result - form result object

VERSION

       version 0.40050

SYNOPSIS

       This is the Result object that maps to the Form.

           my $result = $self->form->run( $params );
           my $result2 = $self->form->run( $other_params );

           my $value = $result->field('title')->value;
           my $fif = $result->fif;
           my $field_fid = $result->field('title')->fif;

   DESCRIPTION
       Although not experimental, the 'results' have not been exercised as much as the other
       parts of the code. If there is missing functionality or things that don't work, please ask
       or report bugs.

       The original FormHandler 'process' method, when used with persistent forms, leaves behind
       state data for a particular execution of 'process'. This is not optimal or clean from an
       architectural point of view.  The intention with the 'result' object is to separate
       dynamic data from static.  The 'form' object is treated as a kind of result factory, which
       will spit out results and leave the form in a consistent state.

       In the current state of implementation, the result object can be used to render a form:

          $result->render;

       However there are still open questions about how much of the form/field should be
       forwarded to the result. At this point, the number of forwarded methods is minimal.
       Mechanisms to make this more customizable are being considered.

       Dynamic select lists are not supported yet. Static select lists (that are the same for
       every form execution) should work fine, but lists that are different depending on some
       field value will not.

       Most of this object is implemented in HTML::FormHandler::Role::Result, because it is
       shared with HTML::FormHandler::Field::Result.
