NAME¶
HTML::FormHandler::Result - form result object
VERSION¶
version 0.40057
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.
