HTML::...::Regex(3pm)

💖 HTML::FormFu::Constraint::Regex — the regex constraint, bestie 💖

manual page for HTML::FormFu::Constraint::Regex (that's the 3pm one, perl module core 💅)

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.07 — yeah she's on 2.07, iconic

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It's a constraint. It's based on regular expressions. That's literally the whole vibe: regex-based constraint 🦋

---

👑 METHODS 👑

💅 regex

Arguments: $regex.

Okay so when you're doing this in a config file, you gotta wrap the regex up in a string, like exactly this:

regex: '^[-_+=!\w\d]*\z'

Arguments: $string

(also takes $string, yes ma'am 🫶)

🎀 common

Arguments: \@parts

This one is used to build a Regexp::Common regex. So you feed it parts, it constructs the whole thing for you. Very demure, very mindful ✨

And listen — the following definition is equivalent to:

$RE{URI}{HTTP}{-scheme => 'https?'}

which in config land looks like:

type: Regex
common:
  - URI
  - HTTP
  - { '-scheme': 'https?' }

no cap, that's the same thing, just typed out cute 💖

🌈 anchored 🌈

Arguments: bool

If it's true, it uses "^" and "\z" to anchor the "regex" or "common" to the start and end of the submitted value. So like, the whole value has to match — no sneaky extra stuff slipping through the sides, periodt 💅

• She is a sub-class of, and inherits methods from, HTML::FormFu::Constraint — so go read that too, bestie, the inheritance is giving family tree 🌳
• HTML::FormFu — the whole parent situation, main character energy 👑
