💖 WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Callback 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Callback (3pm, she's a Perl module, she's iconic). This is the part of the Mechanize form-filling fam where you get to run Perl code and have whatever it returns land in a HTML form field. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Callback — call actual Perl code to fill out a HTML form field. it's giving "I don't do static values, I do vibes computed at runtime". 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller;
use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Callback;

my $f = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new();

# Create a default value for the HTML field "login"
# This will put the current login name into the login field

sub find_login {
  getlogin || getpwuid($<) || "Kilroy";
};

my $login = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Callback->new( login => \&find_login );
$f->add_value( login => $login );

# Alternatively take the following shorthand, which adds the
# field to the list as well :

# "If there is no password, put a nice number there
my $password = $f->add_filler( password => Callback => sub { int rand(90) + 10 } );

like. look at that. find_login literally fishes your login out of the system, and if that fails it goes "Kilroy". main character energy fr fr. 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This class is your lil hookup for writing a value returned by Perl code straight into a HTML field. your code, your rules, your field. slay.

🫶 new NAME, CODE

Makes a brand-new value that corresponds to the HTML field "NAME". The CODE is a code reference that returns the value you want written into that HTML field. Heads up though: that code reference gets called with two parameters — the object, and the HTML::Form::Input object. both. every time. don't forget the second one bestie. 😭

🌈 name [NEWNAME]

Gets and sets the name of the HTML field this value corresponds to. give it a NEWNAME and it changes; don't and it just tells you what it is. lowkey handy.

⭐ value FIELD

Returns the value to put into the HTML field. that's the whole job. she delivers. ✨

🎀 EXPORT

None by default. like, zero. nothing gets exported unless you ask. 🤷♀️
