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

💖 Form::...l::mult — bestie edition 💖

okay so this page is filed under the manual name Form::...l::mult(3pm) in the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the 3pm part, slay), and it's literally the docs for the thing called Embperl::Form::Control::grid. yes the title and the NAME don't match, no we are not going to unpack that, we're just gonna vibe. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Embperl::Form::Control::grid — it's a grid control living inside an Embperl Form. that's it, that's the name, periodt. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so bestie… there is literally nothing here. 😭 the original page has this section and it is empty. no cap, zero content, a whole void, it's giving minimalism. so we're moving on. 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

You use this lil guy to create a grid control inside an Embperl Form. 🎀

and if you're like "okay but how do I even specify parameters" — that's not here, babe. it says: go see Embperl::Form on how to specify parameters. it's all over there. ✨

---

🌸 PARAMETER 🌸

type

needs to be 'grid'. that's the whole assignment. if it's not 'grid', it's not doing the grid thing. 💅

fields

an array ref stuffed full of field definitions. like, all your little field descriptors go in here as a list. 🌈

header_bottom

okay so lowkey this one's fun 👑 — if the grid has more rows than the number you give here, then a header line also gets displayed at the bottom of the grid. so you get a header up top AND down below. double header energy, iconic.

the default is 10. ✨

and if you set it to -1, you will always get a header at the bottom, no matter what. always. fr fr. 🌸

---

🎀 Example 🎀

here's the example, copied exactly because we do not mess with the code:

        {
        name => 'provider-path',
        text => 'Suchpfad',
        type => 'grid',
        fields =>
           [
           { name => 'active', text => 'Aktiv', type => 'checkbox', width => '30' },
           { name => 'path',   text => 'Pfad' },
           ],
       },

look at those fields doing their thing, one checkbox with width => '30', one plain path field. chef's kiss. 💖
