Form::...l::age(3pm)

💖 Embperl::Form::Control::age — the vibe check 💖

okay bestie, so this whole page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's all about a lil Perl module called Embperl::Form::Control::age — which is, and I cannot stress this enough, a age input control with optional unit inside an Embperl Form ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Embperl::Form::Control::age — a age input control with optional unit inside an Embperl Form 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

literally just this, bestie:

{
type => 'age',
text => 'blabla',
name => 'foo',
unit => 'sec',
}

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does it even do? It's used to create an age input control inside an Embperl Form. Periodt.

It will format date as days:hours:minutes from current time. 🕰️ Lowkey iconic.

Optionally — and this is the fun part — it can display an unit after the input field. 💅

If you wanna know how to specify parameters in general, go read Embperl::Form, that's the main character for that whole situation. 🫶

🎀 PARAMETER 🎀

• type — needs to be 'age'. That's it. That's the whole job. 👑
• name — specifies the name of the control. gotta name ur baby fr fr.
• text — will be used as the label for the numeric input control. so it's the little caption that tells everyone what they're looking at. 🏷️
• size — gives the size in characters. (Default: 10) 📏
• maxlength — gives the maximun length in characters. (yes bestie, "maximun" — we are quoting the source, no cap, don't come for me 😭)
• unit — gives a string that should be displayed right of the input field. ( 🤨 (that stray open paren is literally just sitting there in the original and I refuse to gaslight you about it — I'm not adding or removing anything, that's what it says)
