By default, this controller loads all forms from a directory named after the current controller in the root/forms directory and assigns them to the actions in that controller matching the name of the form file themselves. For example: ## controller MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar; ## directory/files root/forms/foo/bar/create.yml root/forms/foo/bar/edit.yml ## actions sub create : Local { $self->form; ## create.yml form }; sub edit : Local { $self->form; ## edit.yml form }; If you would like to load forms from a different directory, specify that directory using the C configuration option below. =head1 CONFIGURATION The following configuration options are used directly by this controller: =over =item form_class The form class used to parse/validate forms. The default class is Mango::Form. __PACKAGE__->config( form_class => 'MyApp::Form' ); =item form_directory The directory to load forms from. If no directory is specified, forms in the current class2prefix are loaded instead. __PACKAGE__->config( form_directory => '/path/to/this/classes/forms' ); =back =head1 ATTRIBUTES The following method attribute are available: =head2 Form =over =item Arguments: $name =back Set the name of the form to use for the current method/action. sub create : Form('myform') Local { my $self = shift; my $form = $self->form; # returns myform.yml form }; =head2 FormFile =over =item Arguments: $file =back Sets the file name of the form to use for the current method/action. sub create : FormFile('/path/to/myform.yml') Local { my $self = shift; my $form = $self->form; # returns myform.yml form }; =head1 METHODS =head2 COMPONENT Creates an instance of the current controller and loads all available forms from the appropriate directory. =head2 ACCEPT_CONTEXT Accepts the current context and stores a weakened reference to it. This is just a hack so $self->form can access context without having to call $c->forward('form') all the time. =head2 form =over =item Arguments: $name =back Gets the form for the current action. sub edit : Local { $self->form; ## root/forms/controller/name/edit.yml }; If you wish to work with a specific form, simply pass the name of that file, without the .yml extension, to C
: sub foo : Local { $self->form('edit'); ## root/forms/controller/name/edit.yml }; When a form is returns, the following are set automatically: =over =item params are set to $c->request =item action is set to $c->action =item localizer is set to $c->localize =back =head2 form_class =over =item Arguments: $class =back Gets/sets the form class to be used when loading/validating forms. The default class is Mango::Form. __PACKAGE__->form_class('MyApp::Form'); =head2 form_directory =over =item Arguments: $directory =back Gets/sets the form_directory where forms should be loaded from. __PACKAGE__->form_directory('/path/to/controllers/forms/'); =head2 submitted Returns true if the current form has been submitted, false otherwise. sub edit : Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; if ($self->submitted) { ... }; }; =head2 validate Returns a Mango::Results object containing the status of the current form validation. sub edit : Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; if ($self->submitted) { my $results = $self->validate; if ($results->success) { ... } else { print @{$results->errors}; }; }; }; =head1 SEE ALSO L, L =head1 AUTHOR Christopher H.
