💖 NAME 💖

HTML::FormFu::Deflator::PathClassFile — bestie, it's the Deflator for Path::Class::File objects. That's the whole vibe. 🦋

Oh and hey, quick shoutout: this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, so you know it's the good stuff. ✨

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.07 — yes queen, that's the one we're running.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's how you actually use it, in both flavors:

$form->deflator( PathClassFile => 'file' )
    ->relative( 'root' );

and if you're more of a YAML config girlie:

---
elements:
    - type: Text
      deflator:
          - type: PathClassFile
            relative: root

look at her go 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So. It's a Deflator for Path::Class::File objects. That's the job. That's the assignment. 📁

There are three types of deflation, and we're going through all of them, no skipping:

relative

Set this to 1 to deflate to a relative path. Anything else than 1 specifies the directory to use as the base of relativity — otherwise the current working directory will be used.

absolute

Set this to 1 to deflate to an absolute path. Anything else than 1 specifies the directory to use as the base of relativity — otherwise the current working directory will be used.

basename

Set this to 1 to get the name of the file without the directory portion. Just the lil name. The bare face. 🫶

---

⚠️ Important bestie moment: as you cannot set values for a File element, this deflator will only work on regular form elements. Not a File element. Regular ones. Don't come crying to me when it doesn't work on a File element, I told you. 😭

sign-off vibes: this little legend was cooked up with perl v5.28.1, dated 2019-01-12, and filed under the HTML::...assFile(3pm) page (which is really HTML::FormFu::Deflator::PathClassFile(3pm) but the header was being dramatic and truncating itself 💀). go forth and deflate those paths, queen 👑✨💖
