NAME¶
Jifty::Web::Form - Tools for rendering and dealing with HTML forms
METHODS¶
new ARGS¶
Creates a new Jifty::Web::Form. Arguments:
- id
- The HTML id attribute given to the form. This is aliased to
name. That is, name and id are always equal and changing one changes the
other.
- class
- The HTML class attribute given to the form.
- name
- The name given to the form. This is mostly for naming
specific forms for testing.
- call
- All buttons in this form will act as continuation calls for
the given continuation id.
- disable_autocomplete
- Disable browser autocomplete for this form. Jifty
autocomplete will still work.
PRIVATE _init¶
Reinitialize this form.
- name
- The form name
- call
- The continuation id to call
actions¶
Returns a reference to a hash of Jifty::Action objects in this form keyed by
moniker.
If you want to add actions to this form, use "add_action"
name [VALUE]¶
Gets or sets the HTML name given to the form element.
call [CONTID]¶
Gets or sets the continuation ID that will be called for this form.
is_open [BOOL]¶
This accessor returns true if Jifty is currently in the middle of rendering a
form (if it's printed a <form> but not yet printed a </form> tag.)
Use this in your components to decide whether to open a form or not if you
might be called from a template that opened the form for you.
add_action PARAMHASH¶
Calls "new_action" in Jifty::Web with the paramhash given, and adds it
to the form.
register_action ACTION¶
Adds "ACTION" as an action for this form. Called so that actions' form
fields can register the action against the form they're being used in.
has_action MONIKER¶
If this form has an action whose moniker is "MONIKER", returns it.
Otherwise returns undef.
start¶
Renders the opening form tag.
submit MESSAGE, [PARAMETERS]¶
Renders a submit button with the text MESSAGE on it (which will be HTML
escaped). Returns the empty string (for ease of use in interpolation). Any
extra PARAMETERS are passed to Jifty::Web::Form::Field::Clickable's
constructor.
return MESSAGE, [PARAMETERS]¶
Renders a return button with the text MESSAGE on it (which will be HTML
escaped). Returns the empty string (for ease of use in interpolation). Any
extra PARAMETERS are passed to Jifty::Web::Form::Field::Button's constructor.
end¶
Renders the closing form tag (including rendering errors for and registering all
of the actions) After doing this, it resets its internal state such that
"start" may be called again.
print_action_registration MONIKER¶
Print out the action registration goo for this action _right now_, unless we've
already done so.
next_page PARAMHASH¶
Set the page this form should go to on success. This simply creates a
Jifty::Action::Redirect action; any parameters in the "PARAMHASH"
are passed as arguments to the Jifty::Action::Redirect action.
Returns an empty string so it can be included in forms
DESTROY¶
Checks to ensure that forms that were opened were actually closed, which is when
actions are registered.
