=head1 Name

HTML::FormWidgets - Create HTML user interface components

=head1 Version

Describes version v0.24.$Rev: 1 $ of L<HTML::FormWidgets>

=head1 Synopsis

   use HTML::FormWidgets;

   my $widget = HTML::FormWidgets->new( id => 'test' );

   print $widget->render;
   # <div class="container">
   # <input value="" name="test" type="text" id="test" class="ifield" size="40">
   # </div>

=head1 Description

Transforms a Perl data structure which defines one or more "widgets"
into HTML or XHTML. Each widget is comprised of these optional
components: a line or question number, a prompt string, a separator,
an input field, additional field help, and Ajax field error string.

Input fields are selected by the widget C<type> attribute. A factory
subclass implements the method that generates the HTML or XHTML for
that input field type. Adding more widget types is straightforward

This module is using the L<MooTools|http://mootools.net/> Javascript
library to modify default browser behaviour

This module is used by L<CatalystX::Usul::View> and as such its
main use is as a form generator within a L<Catalyst> application

=head1 Configuration and Environment

The following are passed to L</build> in the C<config> hash (they
reflect this modules primary use within a L<Catalyst> application):

=over 3

=item C<assets>

Some of the widgets require image files. This attribute is used to
create the URI for those images

=item C<content_type>

Either C<application/xhtml+xml> which generates XHTML 1.1 or
C<text/html> which generates HTML 4.01 and is the default

=item C<fields>

This hash ref contains the fields definitions. Static parameters for
each widget can be stored in configuration files. This reduces the
number of attributes that have to be passed in the call to the
constructor

=item C<hidden>

So that the L</File> and L</Table> subclasses can store the number
of rows added as the hidden form attribute C<nRows>

=item C<js_object>

This is the name of the global Javascript variable that holds
C<config> object. Defaults to C<html_formwidgets>

=item C<root>

The path to the document root for this application

=item C<width>

Width in pixels of the browser window. This is used to calculate the
width of the field prompt. The field prompt needs to be a fixed length
so that the separator colons align vertically

=item C<templatedir>

The path to template files used by the L</Template> subclass

=back

Sensible defaults are provided by C<new> if any of the above are undefined

=head1 Subroutines/Methods

=head2 Public Methods

=head3 build

      HTML::FormWidgets->build( $config_hash );

The L</build> method iterates over a data structure that represents the
form. One or more lists of widget definitions are processed in
turn. New widgets are created and their rendered output replaces their
definitions in the data structure

=head3 new

   $widget = HTML::FormWidgets->new( [{] key1 => value1, ... [}] );

Construct a widget. Mostly this is called by the L</build> method. It
requires the factory subclass for the widget type.

This method takes a large number of options with each widget using
only few of them. Each option is described in the factory subclasses
which use that option

=head3 add_hidden

   $widget->add_hidden( $key, $value );

The key / value pair are added to list of hidden input elements that will
be included in the page

=head3 add_literal_js

   $widet->add_literal_js( $js_class_name, $id, $config );

The config hash will be serialised and added to the literal Javascript on
the page

=head3 add_optional_js

   $widget->add_optional_js( @filenames );

The list of Javascript filenames (with extension, without path) are added
to the list of files which will be included on the page

=head3 inflate

   $widget->inflate( $args );

Creates L<new|HTML::FormWidgets/new> objects and returns their rendered output.
Called by the L</_render> methods in the factory subclasses to inflate
embeded widget definitions

=head3 init

   $widget->init( $args );

Initialises this object with data from the passed arguments. This is
usually overridden in the factory subclass which sets the default for
it's own attributes. In the base class this method does nothing

=head3 is_xml

   $bool = $widget->is_xml;

Returns true if the content type matches C<xml>

=head3 loc

   $message_text = $widget->loc( $message_id, @args );

Use the supplied key to return a value from the C<l10n> object. This
object was passed to the constructor and should localise the key to
the required language. The C<@args> list contains parameters to substituted
in place of the placeholders which have the form C<[_n]>

=head3 render

   $html = $widget->render;

Assemble the components of the generated widget. Each component is
concatenated onto a scalar which is the returned value. This method
calls L</render_field> which should be defined in the factory subclass for
this widget type.

This method uses these attributes:

=over 3

=item C<clear>

If set to C<left> the widget begins with an C<< <br> >> element

=item C<stepno>

If true it's value is wrapped in a C<< <span class="lineNumber"> >>
element and appended to the return value

=item C<prompt>

If true it's value is wrapped in a C<< <label class="prompt_class"> >>
element and appended to the return value. The prompt class is set by
the C<pclass> attribute. The C<id> attribute is used to set the C<for>
attribute of the C<< <label> >> element.  The C<pwidth> attribute sets
the width style attribute in the C<< <label> >> element

=item C<sep>

If true it's value is wrapped in a C<< <span class="separator"> >>
element and appended to the return value

=item C<container>

If true the value return by the L</_render> method is wrapped in
C<< <span class="container"> >> element

=item C<tip>

The text of the field help. If C<tiptype> is set to C<dagger>
(which is the default) then a dagger symbol is
wrapped in a C<< <span class="help tips"> >> and this is appended to the
returned input field. The tip text is used as the C<title>
attribute. If the C<tiptype> is not set to C<dagger> then the help
text is wrapped around the input field itself

=item C<check_field>

Boolean which if true causes the field to generate server side check field
requests

=back

=head3 render_check_field

Adds markup for the Ajax field validation

=head3 render_container

Wraps the rendered field in a containing div

=head3 render_field

Should be overridden in the factory subclass. It should return the markup
for the specified field type

Determine the C<id>, C<name> and C<type> attributes of the widget from
the supplied arguments

=head3 _ensure_class_loaded

   $widget->$_ensure_class_loaded( $class );

Once the factory subclass is known this method ensures that it is loaded
and then re-blesses the self referential object into the correct class

=head3 _set_error

   $widget->$_set_error( $error_text );

Stores the passed error message in the C<text> attribute so that it
gets rendered in place of the widget

=head2 Private Subroutines

=head3 _arg_list

   $args = $_arg_list->( @args );

Accepts either a single argument of a hash ref or a list of key/value
pairs. Returns a hash ref in either case.

Wraps the top C<nitems> number of widgets on the build stack in a C<<
<form> >> element

=head3 _group_fields

   $item = $_group_fields->( $options, $item, $stack );

Wraps the top C<nitems> number of widgets on the build stack in a C<<
<fieldset> >> element with a legend

=head1 Factory Subclasses

These are the possible values for the C<type> attribute which defaults

receives a hash ref of options an returns a scalar containing some
XHTML.

The distribution ships with the following factory subclasses:

=head2 Anchor

Returns an C<< <anchor> >> element with a class set from the C<class>
argument (which defaults to C<linkFade>). It's C<href> attribute
set to the C<href> argument. The anchor body is set to the C<text>

following subtypes:

=over 3

=item C<csv>

Return a table containing the CSV formatted file. This and the C<file>

attribute is set to C<path>. Paths that do not
begin with C<http:> will passed to L</uri_for>

=item C<logfile>

The L</_render> method returns a table where each line of the logfile
appears as a separate row containing one cell. The logfile lines are
each wrapped in C<< <pre> >> tags

highlights for the Perl source code. Tabs are expanded to
C<tabstop> spaces and the result is returned wrapped in
C<< <pre> >> tags

than twice this value or the widows and orphans trap will reap it

=back

=head2 Password

Returns a password field of width C<width> which defaults to
twenty characters. If C<subtype> equals C<verify> then the
