CGI::FormBuilder::Template::Builtin - Builtin HTML rendering
SYNOPSIS
my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new;
$form->render;
DESCRIPTION
This module provides default rendering for FormBuilder. It is automatically called by FormBuilder's "render()" method if no external
template is specified. See the documentation in CGI::FormBuilder for more details.

CGI::FormBuilder::Template::Fast - FormBuilder interface to CGI::FastTemplate
SYNOPSIS
my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(
fields => @whatever,
template => {
type => 'Fast',
root => '/path/to/templates',
# use external files
define => {
form => 'form.txt',
field => 'field.txt',
invalid_field => 'invalid_field.txt',
},
# or define inline
define_nofile => {
form => '<html><head></head><body>$START_FORM
<table>$FIELDS</table>$SUBMIT $END_FORM</body></html>',
# etc.
},
},
);
DESCRIPTION
This engine adapts FormBuilder to use "CGI::FastTemplate". Please read these docs carefully, as the usage differs from other template
adapters in several important ways.
You will need to define three templates: "form", "field", and "invalid_field". You can use "define" to point to external files (which is
the recommended "CGI::FastTemplate" style), or "define_nofile"/ "define_raw" to define them inline. The templates in "define_nofile" take
precedence over "define_raw", and both of these take precedence over "define".
my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(
# ...
template => {
type => 'FastTemplate',
root => '/path/to/templates',
define => {
form => 'form.txt',
field => 'field.txt',
invalid_field => 'invalid_field.txt',
},
# or, you can define templates directly
define_nofile => {
form => '<html><head></head><body>$START_FORM<table>'
'$FIELDS</table>$SUBMIT $END_FORM</body></html>',
# etc.
},
},
# ...
);
If you use "define" with external templates, you will probably also want to define your template root directory with the "root" parameter.
Within each of the field templates, the following variables are available:
$NAME # $field->name
$FIELD # $field->tag (HTML input tag)
$VALUE # $field->value (first value only!)
$LABEL # $field->label
$COMMENT # $field->comment
$ERROR # $field->error
$REQUIRED # $field->required ? 'required' : 'optional'
All the fields are processed in sequence; valid fields use the "field" template, and invalid fields the "invalid_field" template. The
result from each of these is appended into the $FIELDS variable, which you should use in your "form" template. In the "form" template, you
also have access to these variables:
$TITLE # title of the form
$START_FORM # opening form tag
$SUBMIT # the submit button
$RESET # the reset button
$END_FORM # closing form tag
$JS_HEAD # validation JavaScript
Note that since "CGI::FastTemplate" doesn't use anything other than simple scalar variables, there are no variables corrosponding to the
lists that other engines have (e.g. "fields" or "options" lists in "TT2" or "Text::Template").
