=head1 NAME
Package WebGUI::Form
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a convenience package which provides a simple interface to use all of the form controls without having to load each one seperately, create objects, and call methods.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WebGUI::Form;
$html = WebGUI::Form::formFooter($self->session,);
$html = WebGUI::Form::formHeader($self->session,);
$html = WebGUI::Form::anyFieldType($self->session,%properties);
Example:
$html = WebGUI::Form::text($self->session,%properties);
=head1 METHODS
These functions are available from this package:
=cut
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 AUTOLOAD ( )
Dynamically creates functions on the fly for all the different form control types.
=cut
sub AUTOLOAD {
our $AUTOLOAD;
my $name = ucfirst((split /::/, $AUTOLOAD)[-1]);
my $session = shift;
my @params = @_;
my $control = eval { WebGUI::Pluggable::instanciate("WebGUI::Form::".$name, "new", [ $session, @params ]) };
if ($@) {
$session->errorHandler->error($@);
return undef;
}
return $control->toHtml;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 formFooter ( session )
Returns a form footer.
=head3 session
A reference to the current session.
=cut
sub formFooter {
return "</div></form>\n\n";
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 formHeader ( session, options )
Returns a form header.
=head3 session
A reference to the current session.
=head3 options
A hash reference that contains one or more of the following parameters.
=head4 action
The form action. Defaults to the current page.
NOTE: If the C<action> contains a query string (?param=value), C<formHeader>
will translate the parameters into hidden form elements automatically.
=head4 method
The form method. Defaults to "post".
=head4 enctype
The form enctype. Defaults to "multipart/form-data".
=head4 extras
If you want to add anything special to the form header like javascript
actions or stylesheet info, then use this.
=cut
sub formHeader {
my $session = shift;
my $params = shift || {};
croak "First parameter must be WebGUI::Session object"
unless blessed $session && $session->isa( "WebGUI::Session" );
croak "Second parameter must be hash reference"
if ref $params ne "HASH";
my $action = (exists $params->{action} && $params->{action} ne "") ? $params->{action} : $session->url->page();
my $method = (exists $params->{method} && $params->{method} ne "") ? $params->{method} : "post";
my $enctype = (exists $params->{enctype} && $params->{enctype} ne "") ? $params->{enctype} : "multipart/form-data";
# Fix a query string in the action URL
my $hidden;
if ($action =~ /\?/) {
($action, my $query) = split /\?/, $action, 2;
my @params = split /[&;]/, $query;
foreach my $param ( @params ) {
my ($name, $value) = split /=/, $param;
$hidden .= hidden( $session, { name => $name, value => $value } );
}
}
return '<form action="'.$action.'" enctype="'.$enctype.'" method="'.$method.'" '.$params->{extras}.'><div class="formContents">'.$hidden;
