HTML::Widget::DBIC 0.01

HTML::Widget::DBIC is a subclass of HTML::Widgets for dealing with DBIx::Class.

SYNOPSIS

# create a widget coupled with a db record
my $widget = HTML::Widget::DBIC->create_from_config( $config, $resultset, $item );

# process a query
my $result = $widget->process ( $query );

# and save the values from the query to the database
$result->save_to_db();

METHODS

create_from_config

Method to create widget. The parameters are configuration for all the widget fields, a DBIC Resultset and optionally a DBIC record (item) - to fill in the current values in the form and as the target for saving the data, if not present when saving a new record will be created.

The config is a reference to a list of configuration for particular fields. Like: my $config = [ { foreign_class => Dvd, widget_element => [ Select, multiple => 1 ], name => dvds, label => Dvds, bridge_rel => dvdtags }, { widget_element => [ Textarea, rows => 5, cols => 60 ], constraints => [ { max => 255, constraint => Length, message => Should be shorten than 255 characters }, { constraint => All, message => The field is required } ], name => name, label => Name }, { primary_key => 1, name => id, label => Id } ];
process

Like HTML::Widget->process but produces HTML::Widget::Result::DBIC - with extra info for saving to database.
