Form::...uration(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Embperl::Form::Control::price — bestie, it's a price input control, and it can even carry a lil unit inside an Embperl Form 🎀

So this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the manual it belongs to is Form::...uration(3pm) (yes the title got cutely truncated, we don't ask questions 💅). It's perl v5.34.0, stamped 2022-02-06, and we'll wave at it again at the end 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

Look at her. Four little keys and she's ready to serve 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so lowkey this is the thing you drop into an Embperl Form when you want a price input control. It takes a number and formats it as a money amount — like, actual currency vibes, not just a sad raw number 😭✨

And as a lil bonus, if you want, it can show a unit right after the input field. Obsessed.

Heads up bestie: this page doesn't teach you the parameters — for that you gotta go read Embperl::Form on how to specify parameters. She's the main character, this page is just the side quest 🧚

🎀 PARAMETER 🎀

• type — this one needs to be 'price'. Like, non-negotiable. It's giving "the whole point" 👑
• name — the name of the control. Name her something cute, she deserves it 🫶
• text — this becomes the label for the numeric input control. Yes, the little text that sits there being informative ✨
• size — the size, in characters. (Default: 10) 📏
• maxlength — the maximum length, in characters. (Original says "maximun", we still love her, the meaning is maximum 💀)
• unit — a string that gets displayed to the right of the input field. (Default: empty string) — so by default there's literally nothing there, no unit, no nothing, just vibes 🌈
• use_comma — if you set this, the decimal character is a comma instead of a point. (Default: on) — so yeah, comma is the default behaviour fr fr 🍓
