HTML::...Sprintf(3pm)

💖 HTML::FormFu::Filter::CompoundSprintf — CompoundSprintf filter 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for HTML::FormFu::Filter::CompoundSprintf, coming at you from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the 3pm situation, iykyk). Let's get into it ✨

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.07 — she's serving, she's stable, she's on the current release 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

---
element:
  - type: Multi
    name: date

    elements:
      - name: day
      - name: month
      - name: year

    filter:
      - type: CompoundSprintf
        sprintf: '%02d-%02d-%04d'

and then, like, to actually get the compound-value back out:

# get the compound-value

my $date = $form->param_value('date');

no cap, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So this filter is for when you're rolling with a HTML::FormFu::Element::Multi group of fields — you know, the squad of inputs that all belong to one little crew 🌈

What it does is: it takes a sprintf pattern and uses it to join up the input from several fields into one single value. Multiple boxes in, one cute little string out. iconic behavior honestly 💖

---

👑 METHODS 👑

✨ sprintf ✨

Arguments: $string

This is the sprintf pattern that joins the individually submitted parts together. And ngl, the pattern gets passed straight to the perl-core sprintf function — no middleman, no edits, just straight through 🔥

✨ field_order ✨

Inherited, bestie. For the details you gotta see "field_order" in HTML::FormFu::Filter::_Compound.

Here's what it looks like in the wild:

---
element:
  - type: Multi
    name: date

    elements:
      - name: month
      - name: day
      - name year

    filter:
      - type: CompoundSprintf
        field_order:
          - day
          - month
          - year

(yes, - name year is written exactly like that up there, we do not touch the source material 🙈)
