💌 NAME

okay so bestie, this is HTML::FormHandler::Field::Email — it validates email using Email::Valid. that's the whole vibe. it's the field that checks your email actually looks like an email 💅

(this is from the HTML::...::Email(3pm) page, user-contributed Perl docs, iykyk 🫶)

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.40068 — that's the one, that's the version, no cap 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it validates that the input looks like an email address, using Email::Valid. icon behavior honestly.

the widget type is 'text'. periodt.

but wait — plot twist 🫣 if the form has the 'is_html5' flag active, it will render <input type="email" ... /> instead of type="text". glow up fr fr.

this field also has an 'email_valid_params' attribute ✨ and that attribute accepts a hash reference of extra values. those extra values get passed to "address" in Email::Valid when it's validating email addresses. like it's handing Email::Valid a little snack pack of extra config, we love to see it 🍓

and if you want to preserve the case of the email address (so Bestie@Example.com stays Bestie@Example.com and doesn't get lowercased on you 😭), just set the 'preserve_case' attribute. that's it. that's the whole trick 🔥

🧚 DEPENDENCIES 🧚

  • Email::Valid — the main character of this whole operation 👑
