Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime::Split::MDYHMS - Compound field for dates with separate text fields for month, day, year, hour, minute, and second, and a pop-up menu for AM/PM.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    $field =

        label   => 'When',
        name    => 'when',

    print $field->field('time.minute')->internal_value; # "30"
    print $field->field('date.day')->internal_value;    # "31"

    print $field->internal_value; # "2002-12-31T18:30:00"
    print $field->output_value;   # "12/31/2002 06:30:00 PM"

    $field->input_value('blah');

    # "Could not parse date: blah"

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime::Split::MDYHMS> is a compound field for dates with separate text fields for month, day, year, hour, minute, and second, and a pop-up menu for AM/PM.

This class inherits (indirectly) from both L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime> and L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Compound>.  This doesn't quite work out as expected without a bit of tweaking.  We'd like L<inflate_value()|Rose::HTML::Form::Field/inflate_value> and L<validate()|Rose::HTML::Form::Field/validate> methods to be inherited from L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime>, but everything else to be inherited from L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Compound>.

To solve this problem, there's an intermediate class that imports the correct set of methods.  This class then inherits from the intermediate class.  This works, and isolates the tricky bits to a single intermediate class, but it also demonstrates the problems that can crop up when multiple inheritance is combined with a strong aversion to code duplication.

Inheritance shenanigans aside, this class is a good example of a compound field that includes other compound fields and also provides an "inflated" internal value (a L<DateTime> object).  This is the most complex custom field example in this distribution.  It does everything: nested compound fields, validation, inflate/deflate, and coalesce/decompose.

The date portion of the field is handled by a L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime::Split::MonthDayYear> field, and the time portion is handled by a L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Time::Split::HourMinuteSecond> field.

It is important that this class (indirectly) inherits from L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Compound>. See the L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Compound> documentation for more information.

=head1 OBJECT METHODS

=over 4

=item B<date_parser [PARSER]>

Get or set the date parser object.  This object must include a C<parse_datetime()> method that takes a single string as an argument and returns a L<DateTime> object, or undef if parsing fails.

If the parser object has an C<error()> method, it will be called to set the error message after a failed parsing attempt.

The parser object defaults to L<Rose::DateTime::Parser-E<gt>new()|Rose::DateTime::Parser/new>.

=item B<time_zone [TZ]>

If the parser object has a L<time_zone()|/time_zone> method, this method simply calls it, passing all arguments.  Otherwise, undef is returned.

=head1 SEE ALSO

Other examples of custom fields:

=over 4

=item L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Email>

A text field that only accepts valid email addresses.

=item L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::Time>

Uses inflate/deflate to coerce input into a fixed format.

=item L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime>

Uses inflate/deflate to convert input to a L<DateTime> object.

=item L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime::Range>

A compound field whose internal value consists of more than one object.

=item L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::PhoneNumber::US::Split>

A simple compound field that coalesces multiple subfields into a single value.

=item L<Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime::Split::MonthDayYear>

A compound field that uses inflate/deflate convert input from multiple subfields into a L<DateTime> object.
