NAME

HTML::Widget::DBIC - a subclass of HTML::Widgets for dealing with DBIx::Class

SYNOPSIS

use HTML::Widget::DBIC;

# create a widget coupled with a db record
my $widget = HTML::Widget::DBIC->create_from_config( $config, $resultset, $item );

# process a query
my $result = $widget->process ( $query );

# and save the values from the query to the database
$result->save_to_db();

METHODS

create_from_config

Method to create widget. The parameters are configuration for all the widget fields, a DBIC Resultset and optionally a DBIC record (item) - to fill in the current values in the form and as the target for saving the data, if not present when saving a new record will be created.

The config is a reference to a list of configuration for particular fields. Like: my $config = [ { 'foreign_class' => 'Dvd', 'widget_element' => [ 'Select', 'multiple' => 1 ], 'name' => 'dvds', 'label' => 'Dvds', 'bridge_rel' => 'dvdtags' }, { 'widget_element' => [ 'Textarea', 'rows' => 5, 'cols' => 60 ], 'constraints' => [ { 'max' => '255', 'constraint' => 'Length', 'message' => 'Should be shorten than 255 characters' }, { 'constraint' => 'All', 'message' => 'The field is required' } ], 'name' => 'name', 'label' => 'Name' }, { 'primary_key' => 1, 'name' => 'id', 'label' => 'Id' } ];

process

Like HTML::Widget->process but produces HTML::Widget::Result::DBIC (instead of HTML::Widget::Result) - with extra info for saving to database.

save_to_db

HTML::Widget::DBIC::Result method to save the data from widget to the database
