WWW::M...:Chars(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Chars — bestie, this is a Perl module (manual section 3pm, User Contributed Perl Documentation, no less 💅) and its whole entire job is filling random characters into an HTML form field. That's it. That's the gig. And it ate. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's how you actually use it, copy-paste friendly, no cap:

  use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller;
  use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Chars;

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

  # Create a random value for the HTML field "login"

  my $login = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Chars->new(
                       login => set => 'alpha', min => 3, max => 8 );
  $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 random one out of the list there
  my $password = $f->add_filler( password => 'Random::Chars' );

the shorthand at the bottom is lowkey the main character — one line and your field is in the list AND filled. obsessed. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically this class gives you a way to write a randomly chosen value into a HTML field. Random value goes in, chaos is managed, everyone slays. ✨

💖 new NAME, LIST

Creates a new value which will correspond to the HTML field "NAME". The "LIST" is the list of arguments passed to Data::Random::rand_chars. And if you hand it an empty list — no args, nothing, empty — then set => 'alpha', min => 5, max => 8 is just assumed. Like it's got a default fit ready to go. 👑

💜 name [NEWNAME]

Gets and sets the name of the HTML field this value corresponds to. Read it, write it, whatever you need bestie. 🔁

🍓 value FIELD

Returns the value to put into the HTML field. That's the whole thing. It gives you the value. Periodt. 💅

🧚 EXPORT

None by default. Like, don't expect anything to come flying out of here for free. Nothing. Zero. Zip. 🙈
