cgi::formbuilder::source::yaml

CGI::FormBuilder::Source::YAML(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       CGI::FormBuilder::Source::YAML(3pm)

NAME

       CGI::FormBuilder::Source::YAML - Initialize FormBuilder from YAML file

SYNOPSIS

	use CGI::FormBuilder;

	my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(
	   source  => {
	       source  => 'form.fb',
	       type    => 'YAML',
	   },
	);

	my $lname = $form->field('lname');  # like normal

DESCRIPTION

       This reads a YAML (YAML::Syck) file that contains FormBuilder config options and returns a hash to be fed to CGI::FormBuilder->new().

       Instead of the syntax read by CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File, it uses YAML syntax as read by YAML::Syck.  That means you fully specify the
       entire data structure.

       LoadCode is enabled, so you can use YAML syntax for defining subroutines.  This is convenient if you have a function that generates valida-
       tion subrefs, for example, I have one that can check profanity using Regexp::Common.

	validate:
	   myfield:
	       javascript: /^[sS]{2,50}$/
	       perl: !!perl/code: >-
		   {   My::Funk::fb_perl_validate({
			   min	       => 2,
			   max	       => 50,
			   profanity   => 'check'
		       })->(shift);
		   }

POST PROCESSING

       There are two exceptions to "pure YAML syntax" where this module does some post-processing of the result.

       REFERENCES (ala CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File)

       You can specify references as string values that start with &, $, @, or \% in the same way you can with CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File.
       If you have a full direct package reference, it will look there, otherwise it will traverse up the caller stack and take the first it
       finds.

       For example, say your code serves multiple sites, and a menu gets different options depending on the server name requested:

	# in My::Funk:
	our $food_options = {
	    www.meats.com   => [qw( beef    chicken horta   fish    )],
	    www.veggies.com => [qw( carrot  apple   quorn   radish  )],
	};

	# in source file:
	options: @{ $My::Funk::food_options->{ $ENV{SERVER_NAME} } }

       EVAL STRINGS

       You can specify an eval statement.  You could achieve the same example a different way:

	options: eval { $My::Funk::food_options->{ $ENV{SERVER_NAME} }; }

       The cost either way is about the same -- the string is eval'd.

EXAMPLE

	method:     GET
	header:     0
	title:	    test
	name:	    test
	action:     /test
	submit:     test it
	linebreaks: 1

	required:
	   - test1
	   - test2

	fields:
	   - test1
	   - test2
	   - test3
	   - test4

	fieldopts:
	   test1:
	       type:	   text
	       size:	   10
	       maxlength:  32

	   test2:
	       type:	   text
	       size:	   10
	       maxlength:  32

	   test3:
	       type:	   radio
	       options:
		   -
		       - 1
		       - Yes
		   -
		       - 0
		       - No

	   test4:
	       options:    @test4opts
	       sort:	   &Someother::Package::sortopts

	validate:
	   test1:      /^w{3,10}$/
	   test2:
	       javascript: EMAIL
	       perl:	   eq 'test@test.foo'
	   test3:
	       - 0
	       - 1
	   test4:  @test4opts

       You get the idea.  A bit more whitespace, but it works in a standardized way.

METHODS

       new()

       Normally not used directly; it is called from CGI::FormBuilder.	Creates the "CGI::FormBuilder::Source::YAML" object.  Arguments from the
       'source' hash passed to CGI::FormBuilder->new() will become defaults, unless specified in the file.

       parse($source)

       Normally not used directly; it is called from CGI::FormBuilder.	Parses the specified source file.  No fancy params -- just a single file-
       name is accepted.  If the file isn't acceptable to YAML::Syck, I suppose it will die.
