attributes

attrs
Arguments: %attributes Arguments: \%attributes Return Value: $element Arguments: none Return Value: \%attributes Accepts either a list of key/value pairs, or a hash-ref. $e->attributes( $key => $value ); $e->attributes( { $key => $value } ); Returns the $element object, to allow method chaining. As of v1.10, passing a hash-ref no longer deletes current attributes, instead the attributes are added to the current attributes hash. This means the attributes hash-ref can no longer be emptied using "$e->attributes( { } );". Instead, you may use "%{ $e->attributes } = ();". As a special case, if no arguments are passed, the return value is a hash-ref of attributes instead of the object reference. This provides backwards compatability to support: $e->attributes->{key} = $value; "attrs" is an alias for "attributes".

container
Arguments: \%attributes Return Value: $container Creates a new $container_class. Defaults to HTML::Widget::Container.

id
Arguments: $widget Return Value: $id Creates a element id.

init
Arguments: $widget Called once when process() gets called for the first time.

mk_error
Arguments: $widget, \@errors Return Value: $error Creates a new HTML::Widget::Error.

mk_input
Arguments: $widget, \%attributes, \@errors Return Value: $input_tag Creates a new input tag.

mk_tag
Arguments: $widget, $tagtype, \%attributes, \@errors Return Value: $element_tag Creates a new tag.

mk_label
Arguments: $widget, $name, $comment, \@errors Return Value: $label_tag Creates a new label tag.

name
Arguments: $name Return Value: $name Contains the element name.

passive
Arguments: $bool Return Value: $bool Defines if element gets automatically rendered.

prepare
Arguments: $widget Called whenever "$widget->process" gets called, before "$element->process".

process
Arguments: \%params, \@uploads Return Value: \@errors Called whenever "$widget->process" is called. Returns an arrayref of HTML::Widget::Error objects.

containerize
Arguments: $widget, $value, \@errors Return Value: $container_tag Containerize the element, label and error for later rendering. Uses HTML::Widget::Container by default, but this can be over-ridden on a class or instance basis via "container_class".

container_class
Arguments: $class Return Value: $class Contains the class to use for contain the element which then get rendered. Defaults to HTML::Widget::Container. "container_class" can be set at a class or instance level: HTML::Widget::Element->container_class('My::Container'); # Override default to custom class HTML::Widget::Element::Password->container_class(undef); # Passwords use the default class $w->element('Textfield')->name('foo')->container_class->('My::Other::Container'); # This element only will use My::Other::Container to render

find_elements
Return Value: \@elements For non-block-container elements, simply returns a one-element list containing this element.
