CGI::Application::Plugin::FillInForm

[ #25938 ]
I uploaded the first release of CGI::Application::Plugin::FillInForm tonight.

It just makes a nice, simple, Do-What-I-Mean wrapper around HTML::FillInForm, inspired by some code by Cees Hek. Here's what it looks like in action:

    # fill an HTML form with data in a hashref or from an object with with a param() method
    my $filled_html = $self->fill_form($html,$data);

    # ..or default to getting data from $self->query()
    my $filled_html = $self->fill_form($html);

However, I'm too lazy to write some tests for it tonight, so I marked it as a developer release for now.

This plugin is yet another way the CGI::Application framework can streamline development.

So we should be ready to announce a totally re-vamped website with updated information.

  • I currently use CGI::Application::Plugin::TT, a custom session handler, and HTML::FillInForm as a way of making sticky forms which are populated with any of the user's current session data. Use of this module will eliminate the call to HTML::FillInForm->new from my postprocessing routine. Thanks Mark!

    sub tt_post_process {

        my ($self, $htmlref) = @_;

        $$htmlref = $self->fill_form($$htmlref, $self->session->param_hashref());

        return;
    }
