=head1 NAME

HTML::FormFu::Plugin - base class for plugins

=head1 VERSION

version 2.07

=head2 DESCRIPTION

Plugins can be added to a form or any element to modify their behaviour.
Some plugins should only be added to either a form, or an element, depending
on their design.

=head1 METHODS

Plugins can override any of the following method stubs.

=head2 process

Only plugins added to a form or a field element inheriting from
L<HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Field> will have their C<process> method run.

For form plugins, is called during L<HTML::FormFu/process>, before C<process>
is called on any elements.

For field plugins, is called during the field's C<process> call.

=head2 pre_process

For form plugins, is called immediately after C<pre_process>
is run on the elements.

For element plugins, is called before C<pre_process> is run on form plugins.

=head2 post_process

For form plugins, is called immediately before L<HTML::FormFu/process>
returns.

For element plugins, is called before C<post_process> is run on form plugins.

=head2 render

Only plugins added to a form will have their C<render> method run.

Is called during L<HTML::FormFu/render> before the
L<HTML::FormFu/render_method> is called.

=head2 post_render

Only plugins added to a form will have their C<post_render> method run.

Is called during L<HTML::FormFu/render> immediately before
L<HTML::FormFu/render> return.

Is passed a reference to the return value of L<HTML::FormFu/render_method>.
