HTML::...::Text(3pm)

🦋 HTML::...::Text(3pm) 🦋

Okay bestie, this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for HTML::...::Text(3pm), and the manual name you’re looking for is HTML::FormHandler::Field::Text — the text field. Let’s go. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

HTML::FormHandler::Field::Text — text field. That’s the whole name, and it’s giving simple text entry field energy. 🎀

🌟 VERSION 🌟

version 0.40068 — that’s the version number, kept exactly as-is. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This is a simple text entry field. Widget type is 'text'. That’s the vibe: text field, no extra drama. ✨

💖 METHODS 💖

size [integer] 🎀

This one gets used when the HTML is constructed. It determines the size of the input field.

Big important note: the 'maxlength' field should be used as a constraint on the size of the field, not this attribute. Don’t mix those up, bestie. 🙈

minlength [integer] 🌸

This integer value, if it’s non-zero, defines the minimum number of characters that must be entered. So if it’s non-zero, it’s the minimum character count, periodt. ✨

maxlength [integer] 🦋

A constraint on the maximum length of the text. It’s the cap on how long the text can get. 🔥

error messages 📝

Set error messages (text_minlength, text_maxlength):

           has_field 'my_text' => ( type => 'Text', messages =>
               {  'text_minlength' => 'Field is too short',
                  'text_maxlength' => 'Field is too long',
               } );

Those two message keys are text_minlength and text_maxlength, and the example above is exactly how you set them. 💖
