=head1 USE All field keywords beginning with C are passed directly into the form hash. Thus, they are really defined in form.tt which ships with Gantry. C specifies the input element type of the field. You need a type if the field will appear on any form, but not if it won't. The form.tt template understands these types: text textarea select display Some of the commands apply to specific types: text: html_form_display_size textarea: html_form_rows and html_form_cols select: html_form_options (required unless the field is a foreign key) display: html_form_foreign See those related statements for type examples. NOTE: that the html_form_type is not related to the SQL type, which is controlled by the C keyword. =head1 EXAMPLE To see an example, build: bigtop -c example.bigtop all Change to the newly created Kids directory and look in the form method in lib/Kids/GEN/Child.pm.
