It supercedes Catalyst::Controller::Rose for basic CRUD applications. =cut =head1 METHODS The following methods are new or override base methods. =cut =head2 form( I ) Returns an instance of config->{form_class}. A single form object is instantiated and cached in the controller object. The form's clear() method is called before returning. I object is set in forms's app() method. B The form is cleared only the B form() is called in each request cycle. This is B than the behaviour described in CatalystX::CRUD::Controller. =cut sub form { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; $self->{_form} ||= $self->form_class->new( app => $c ); $self->{_form}->app($c) unless defined $self->{_form}->app; $self->{_form}->clear unless $self->{_form}->app->stash->{_form_called} ->{ $self->action_namespace }++; return $self->{_form}; } =head2 field_names( I ) Returns an array ref of the field names in form. =cut sub field_names { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; $self->throw_error("context required") unless defined $c; return $self->form($c)->field_names; } =head2 all_form_errors Convenience method for aggregating all form errors. Returns a single scalar string. =cut sub all_form_errors { my ( $self, $form ) = @_; my @err = ( $form->error ); for my $f ( $form->fields ) { push( @err, $f->name . ': ' . $f->error ) if $f->error; } return join( "\n", grep {defined} @err ); } =head2 form_to_object( I ) Overrides base method. =cut sub form_to_object { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; my $form = $c->stash->{form}; my $obj = $c->stash->{object}; my $obj_meth = $self->init_object; my $form_meth = $self->init_form; # id always comes from url but not necessarily from form, # but in either case, $obj should already have %pk set # since it was used in fetch() my $id = $c->stash->{object_id}; my %pk = $self->get_primary_key( $c, $id ); # initialize the form with the object's values # TODO this might not work if the delegate() does not have # 1-to-1 mapping of form fields to object methods. $form->$form_meth($obj); # set param values from request. $form->params( $c->req->params ); # override form's values with those from params # no_clear is important because we already initialized with object # and we do not want to undo those mods. $form->init_fields( no_clear => 1 ); # return if there was a problem with any param values unless ( $form->validate() ) { my $err = $self->all_form_errors($form); $c->stash( error => $err ); # NOT throw_error() $c->log->debug("RHTMLO: form error:\n$err\n") if $c->debug; $c->stash->{template} ||= $self->default_template; # MUST specify return 0; } # re-set object's values from the now-valid form # TODO this might not work if the delegate() does not have # 1-to-1 mapping of form fields to object methods. # this is same objection as $form_method call above $form->$obj_meth($obj); return $obj; } =head2 do_search( I, I ) Makes form values sticky then calls the base do_search() method with next::method(). =cut sub do_search { my ( $self, $c, @arg ) = @_; # make form sticky $c->stash->{form} ||= $self->form($c); # if we have no input, just return for initial search if ( !@arg && !$c->req->param && $c->action->name eq 'search' ) { $c->log->debug("no input to search. return") if $c->debug; # must clear explicitly since this is a new search # and form may have been initialized elsewhere $c->stash->{form}->clear; $c->log->debug("rhtmlo form cleared") if $c->debug; return; } $c->stash->{form}->params( $c->req->params ); $c->stash->{form}->init_fields(); return $self->next::method( $c, scalar $self->field_names($c), @arg ); } 1; __END__ =head1 AUTHOR Peter Karman, C<< >> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
